It's finally summer (well, almost). I dream of days crocheting on the beach while my kids play (and leave me to my crafty ventures!) I also look forward to walking the shores and exploring, and that's how the Pocket Full of Sunshine came to be! One thing I hate about the beach is carrying around the big ol' beach bag. Sure, it's fine when we're there to lounge and swim, but what about just walking along the sand? All I need is a small pouch for some important things like my phone and keys.

This pattern is one size that is great for taking to the beach and carrying all of you belongings! It's a stylish summer bag that is fun to take everywhere! The golden yarn perfectly captures the sun, and is contrasted by the light blue of the water. Now I want to take this beach bag on all sorts of adventures! Even if you don't live by the beach, this bag would be so much fun to take on excursions to the park or even the lake.

I enjoyed making the small stash baskets so much I decided to see what I could do with 3-strands of medium weight yarn and I crocheted this Yarn Stash Basket. This container is great for so many purposes - from holding your WIP yarns to using to hold mittens, scarves and hats by the front door. Crocheted by working with 3-strands of medium weight held together this basket works up quickly and uses just over 3 balls of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn (236 yds balls). Have fun with your yarn!

The Sunshine Crochet Bag is a great bag to crochet for summer. This printable crochet bag pattern uses Red Heart Crme De La Crme yarn in a variety of fun, bright colors. For those who love to make crochet granny squares, this bag will be super easy to crochet. The side panels are basically just two giant granny squares, and then you applique the bright sun to the center. This easy crochet bag would make an awesome book bag, beach tote, or errands bag.
