H 5.0 crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.You will need to start with crocheting the bag…. Now that you have the materials down, let’s talk construction. I challenge you to try it! Then tag me on social media so I can see. It was actually fun to put it all together. Now, this may seem like a lot, but I promise this project was not hard at all. Which includes sewing needle, thread (I prefer the sturdier thread like embroidery or upholstery), scissors, hammer (for the eyelets), and H 5.0mm crochet hook. You will also need a few other materials besides those we discussed so far. I’m sure you could find some rope to use at other locations, or make your own I-Cord. It comes in 5 yards, which was plenty! I used 6′ (72″) on each side, which is folded in half to get the drawstring cinch at the top. I found this polyester 1/4″ white rope in the fabric/sewing section. Since I did not look for it at Walmart, I ended up purchasing this at Hobby Lobby. But, I was worried that it would have too much stretch to it. I originally planned on crocheting an I-Cord to use as the straps, like I did in my Carry All Drawstring Tote Crochet Pattern found HERE. Some Eyelets come included with the tool. 2 front pieces and 2 back pieces, but they come in a package like the ones below. I also found this at my local Walmart….score! You will need 2 Eyelets total. Don’t forget to also purchase the Eyelet Kit, which is a tool that allows you to add the Eyelet to your Cinch Sack. Then you will need a package of Extra Large Eyelets or Grommets. You will also need a 7″ zipper, which I also purchased at Walmart. Remnants may also work well and could buy for cheap. You can also purchase any fabric of your liking. So, if your Cinch Sack measurements match up, 1 fat quarter will be enough fabric. You will need about an extra inch for width and height.
If yours turns out larger, the fat quarter will not be enough fabric! The finished Cinch Sack measures approximately 13″Wx14″H. One suggestion….really check the gauge and measurements of the Cinch Sack. They are PERFECT! So many color choices and they are cheap. If you don’t know what fat quarters are, they are 1/4 yard of fabric that is cut so it’s a fat square instead of a long strip. I recommend cotton because you will probably need to wash it at some point and you don’t want it to pill. Because this yarn feels great to work with! But you can really use any Medium #4 weight yarn you choose. Because I liked the color of the Boho Floral. Because I bought a TON of it at the beginning of summer. I chose Caron Cotton Cakes for this pattern. If you have any pointers, please let me know!
It’s not ideal but I have not taken time out of my crazy life to focus on learning sewing machine basics, which I do plan on doing at some point. So, yes I hand sewed the liner, pocket, and zipper. But I sure can hand sew….I mean I hand sew all the time in crocheting. I had to construct and sew an inner liner, pocket, and attach a zipper….yikes! That’s a lot for someone who cannot work a sewing machine. This Cinch Sack Crochet Pattern only used crocheting on the outer bag. Now back to my only fiber art talent…crocheting. Sooo, a cinch sack crochet pattern is perfect! This way they can pack around their stuff in style! We got sports equipment, books, toys, clothes, you name it and they will bring it. However, I must say, it was totally worth it!Īlso, I decided I wanted to make a cinch sack crochet pattern because I have 3 kids! And let me tell you, those 3 kids always have stuff to pack around. There was a lot of different crafts included besides crocheting. Buuut I can crochet for dayzzz! So, this Cinch Sack Crochet Pattern really challenged me. I cannot run my Singer Sewing machine for the life of me. Let me start by saying, I am a crocheter.
