As much as we love traditional knitting patterns like knit scarves and hats, it’s sometimes fun to mix up your knitting repertoire. Trying a new pattern or using yarn in a way you haven’t yet thought of is not only exciting, but a great way to discover a hidden talent.
Spring is all about refreshing your look, so why not put those knitting needles to good use and make yourself a unique DIY tote bag? Not only are free bag patterns an interesting way to try out different knitting stitches, they’re both practical and economical. Give back to the environment and save money with a trendy DIY tote bag!
There are plenty of uses for a free bag pattern. Stow a couple in your trunk for re-usable grocery bags or knit one with some cute appliques for a stylish fashion statement. The best part about knit bag patterns is that you can never have too many. Make one for every day, one for a fun night out on the town, even one for the beach! Depending on your mood, there’s a DIY tote bag for every occasion.

I knitted a clutch for my cousin this Christmas! It was a pretty spring green!
Yes I love knitted bags…I also crochet them. You can never have enough bags!
I knit several felted bags and am pretty proud of them.
Yes I love to knit bags but do prefer the felted ones cause they hold their shape better.
I’ve knit a lot of them, some original designs. Anyone want to buy any of my stash? Cables, colorwork, lace, etc. People in my area want them for almost nothing, even when they are the product of a month of craft time! No respect for the craft or the crafter. The attitude irritates me!
