Modular Pocket Bag Crochet Along – Free Crochet Pattern

This post includes affiliate links.

This Crochet Along (CAL) is sponsored by my awesome friends at Lion Brand. I am so honored Lion Brand chose to sponsor this Crochet Along in order for me to create this cool Modular Pocket Bag.

This Crochet Along is now over, but you can still find the free pattern and PDF below.

The Modular Pocket Bag was made using Lion Brand Jeans yarn and is perfect for anyone, even beginners. It is made only with single crochets and then sewn all together. If you have never made anything with Lion Brand Jeans yarn before, you should. It is so soft and easy to work with and really amazing.

This Crochet Along will have 4 parts. I will also provide you with 1.5 weeks to get all your supplies which I believe should be plenty of time. Lion Brand ships very fast, and so does Amazon.

Now, before I show you the materials and the actual free crochet pattern, please also be sure to add this pattern to your Ravelry favorites by clicking the button below as that allows my pattern being shown to more people who might want to see it and also want to make it.

You can get the crochet pattern for the Modular Pocket Bag on Ravelry, Etsy, LoveCrafts, or my new membership The Crochet Club. The Crochet Club has so much more to offer than just PDF patterns! You get tutorials, references and the complete VIP treatment as well.

If you pay just double the amount as this pattern costs and you have a month’s worth of The Crochet Club Membership with a lot more patterns! It’s well worth it.

If you do not want to join The Crochet Club, you can also purchase the ad-free printer-friendly PDF pattern at the links below. But IF you join the All-Access Membership you will automatically get this pattern.

In addition, I created a downloadable PDF that has all of the pictures separated from the pattern, so you an choose whether you want to print them or not. This can save you a lot of ink in the long run. You can buy the ad-free, printer-friendly PDF on Ravelry, Etsy, LoveCrafts, and my VIP crochet membership, The Crochet Club.

Furthermore, Lion Brand provides us with a huge discount of 20% off all Jeans Yarns! So make sure you use the code: Jeans2017 (it is good until December 1st) to get this awesome yarn.

And here is the big one! I will also have a Lion Brand sponsored GIVEAWAY at the end for everyone who participates and finished their Modular Pocket Bag! The winner will receive the entire amount of Lion Brand Jeans yarn that is needed to create this Modular Pocket Bag and you will also get the pdf version of this Modular Pocket Bag Crochet Along for free.
