Tapestry Crochet Yoga Mat Bag
lots of little elephant
I finally finished my yoga mat bag. It only took me 5 months... As I explained in my intial blog about the project, the bag is made using Tapestry Crochet". Its a relatively simple technique where you use a small hook and a worsted weight yarn to produce a tightly woven fabric.
- materials
- six balls Paton's Classic Merino Wool (3 in Black, 3 in Natural Mix).
- Size D crochet hook
- one stitch marker
- one 2-inch dual adjustable side-squeeze buckle (optional, for strap)
- pattern
- The basic pattern for this bag is the tube shape often used in tapestry crochet projects (such as this beaded hat)
- The details of the pattern I'm not going to publish, yet. I'm thinking about submitting the pattern to a magazine, so I don't want to break any of their rules about the pattern being previously published. I doubt it will get accepted, but I think it will be fun to try.

Re: Tapestry Crochet Yoga Mat Bag
Jess,
Your Yoga bag is sooooo cool. If it wasn't so much work and you had more free time, I would ask if you could make me one too, but that is asking to much. If you lived in Bevery Hills, CA, you could easly ask $120.00 or more. I would expect to see them on Zacks Fith Ave or something like that.
See ya at the gym some time soon!
ciao,
Keith
