12 Awesome And Free Yoga Mat Bag Crochet Patterns
Introduction
Looking for the best yoga mat bag crochet patterns? Yoga lovers unite! We’ve got you covered with 12 of the best free and easy patterns from across the internet.
Making your own crochet yoga mat bag with cotton yarn is a sustainable option and super stylish way to carry your yoga mat. It’s also a great way to show off your creativity while doing something good for your body.
Here we’ve provided a variety of different types of yoga mat bags for you to crochet for yourself or a special someone.
What is a yoga mat bag?
A yoga mat bag is typically a long thin bag that carries a rolled-up yoga mat. Most of the patterns here are your ‘traditional’ style yoga bag and there are some more unique styles. There are many different sizes of mats and not all yoga mat bags are suitable for all yoga mats.
Most, if not all, of these free crochet patterns will fit standard sized yoga mats.
What are the benefits in using a crochet yoga mat bag?
If you’ve ever bought and used a yoga mat bag yourself, you know that most of them come with spandex straps to carry them. In our experience, these straps can wear out quickly, stretching excessively or breaking.
So the benefit in using a crochet yoga mat bag is functional in that it is sturdy and will last you a very long time, and practical as you may not currently have anything to transport your mat.
And as a bonus, this quick project is a great stash buster! Each of the free crochet patterns listed here use little time and yarn.
How do I use a yoga mat bag?
This might seem like a silly question, but it may not be as straightforward to everyone. Basically, you roll your yoga mat bag up pretty tightly lengthwise, then slide it into your bag. This can be a bit of a task if it’s your first time, but you get the hang of it after a while.
Whether you’re making a bag for personal use, for a family member or friend, or to sell, we hope you find a free pattern here you love.
