Party Favor 4-pack - My Crocheted Itty Bitty Anything Bag

Seems like I'm on a crocheting-with-cotton-yarn kick once again! You may recall I've been there before quite a few times with floor duster covers, crocheted pin cushions, crocheted bags, more crocheted bags, and more cotton dish/wash cloths than I can count!

This time I'm back to my Itty Bitty Anything Bag, which is my own original design for a little drawstring bag just the perfect size for holding marbles, Barbie shoes, hair accessories, candy, money, anything really!

I offered the pattern and a little picture tutorial HERE back in August 2008, so if you want to make your own, that's the place to go!

Recently I had the idea that these would make wonderful little party favors for a little girl's birthday party, so this is what I came up with...


...a Party Favor 4-pack...one in each of four colors - yellow, blue, pink and green...


...you could fill them with fun little things that all girls love...


...like stickers, hair bows...


...those little tiny Disney princesses that are so small you can hardly hold on to their clothes to dress them (but little fingers can sure undress them quickly!)...


...candy, jewelry...


...you get the idea! What a nice little treasure to take home from a birthday party!

I'll be listing these in my Etsy shop soon and I'm always happy to make items like this in special colors for special occasions...like if you wanted to do school colors or bridal party colors, favorite colors, or a happy mix of solids, variegated and self-striping for a fun party! All you have to do is ask!

Boys love these bags too! Camo variegated makes a really awesome looking little bag, or school colors too, for holding marbles or bottle caps (do kids still collect those?), coins or sea shells.

Each bag is about 4 inches tall and about 3 inches across the bottom, and made from 100% cotton worsted weight yarn so they are very sturdy and washable too!

Try making one yourself, or zip me an email and I'll whip up a few or a dozen or more for your next special occasion!

Happy Stitching!

  4. Those are so cute! I don't know how to crochet. can you make something like that with knitting? Or would that be an ok project to learn how to crochet on?

    Thanks!

  5. I know you are busy, but have you thought about doing a video on this project. I am trying to piece together different videos to learn how, so I thought I would go straight to the source =)
