• Checkered Sleeve Tumbler Bag Crochet Pattern

    This tumbler sleeve is worked from the bottom up. It is meant to fit most 40oz tumblers with a handle. You can choose to use it just as a slip cover to your tumbler or add the straps and connectors to turn it into a carrying bag.

    You are always welcome to crochet your straps and skip the hardware additions, but if you want them, I will link them in the materials section.

    Cotton Yarn highly encouraged due to the way it absorbs moisture if tumbler sweats during use.

    Yarn

    I Love This Cotton: 100% cotton, size 4, in 2 colors, approx 85 yds each (roughly half a skein).

    Substitute Yarns

    -Lily’s sugar and cream cotton,

    -dishes cotton

    -any weight 4 cotton

    Hook

    US 7 (4.5mm) or size needed to obtain gauge

    Materials

    Gauge and Sizing

    16 stitches and 11.5 rows equal to 4″in all half double crochet. I don’t think gauge has to be perfect for this pattern to work. Being 1 stitch or ½ row off is fine.

    One Size – Fits most 40oz tumblers with a handle. I have tested this on Hydrojug 40oz, Stanley 40oz, and an amazon 40oz dupe.

    Checkered Sleeve Tumbler Bag Crochet Pattern

    Bottom – Creating a circle for the bottom base of the sleeve. Working with yarn color A for the entire bottom.

    Round 1 : start with a magic circle (or a ch 4 and slst to the first ch.) Ch 1, make 8 sc in the magic circle. Slst to the first sc of the round. —8 sts.

    Round 2 : Ch 1, (not included as a st here and throughout), 2 sc in each st around. Slst to the first sc of the round.—16 sts.

    Round 3 : Ch 1, 1 sc in first st, 2sc in the next st. *1 sc, 2sc in same st* repeat around until you reach the first st. Slst into first sc of the round. — 24 sts.

    Round 4 : Ch 1, 2 sc in first st, 1 sc in the next 2 st. *2 sc in the same st, 1sc in the next 2 sts* repeat around until you reach the first st. Slst into first sc of the round. — 32 sts.

    Round 5 : Ch 1, 1 sc in first 3 st, 2sc in the 4th st. *2 sc in the next st, 1 sc in the next 3 sts* repeat around until you reach the first st. Slst into first sc of the round. — 40 sts.

    Body – Continuing to work in the round. Turn at the end of each round. We are now building the walls of the sleeve.

    Row 1 (RS): Ch 1 (not included as a st here and throughout), blosc in each st around. Slst to the first st of the round— 40 sts.

    Row 2 (WS): Ch 1 and turn, hdc in the next 4 sts. Tie on with color B and hdc in the next 4 sts. Carry the yarn from the other color along as you stitch. Repeat *4 hdc in color A then 4 hdc in color B around*. Slst to first hdc of round. —40 sts.

    Row 3: Ch 1 and turn. Still using color B, hdc in the next 4 sts. Hdc Color A in next 4 sts. Repeat *4 hdc in color B then 4 hdc in color A around*. Slst to first hdc of round. —40 sts.

    Row 4: Ch 1 and turn. Still using color A, hdc in the next 4 sts. Hdc Color B in next 4 sts. Repeat *4 hdc in color A then 4 hdc in color B around*. Slst to first hdc of round. —40 sts

    Row 5: Ch 1 and turn. Switch to color A and hdc in the first 4 stitch. Alternate colors every 4 sts around. —40 sts

    Row 6: Ch 1 and turn. Still using color B, hdc in the next 4 sts. Alternate colors every 4 sts around. —40 sts

    Row 7: Ch 1 and turn. Still using color A, hdc in the next 4 sts. Alternate colors every 4 sts around. —40 sts

    Rows 8-13: Repeat the previous checkered pattern we have established. 4 sts wide and 3 rows tall, then switch then alternate to the opposite checkered pattern. You should have 4 sections of the checkered pattern established at this point. —40 sts

    Now we will create the split for the handle.

    Split for Handle – We will no longer sl st at the end of each round. Instead you will ch1 and turn.

    Row 14 : With Color A, Ch 1 and turn. Hdc in the next 4 sts. Alternate colors every 4 sts. At the end of the round DO NOT sl st to the st from the beggining of the row. —40 sts.

    Round 15-28 : Ch 1 and turn. Repeat the same established checkered pattern. Remember at the end of each row, ch1 and turn. —40 sts.

    Border of checkered pattern

    Border : With Color A, Ch 1 and sc evenly down the edge of the checkered pattern towards the split in row 13. (Refer to graphic to see which the direction to st. Starting at the black dot). Once you hit the split begin to sc back up the other side.

    Once you get back to the top row, do 3 SC in the first hdc from the previous row (refer to blue dot in graphic). Sc in each st around. End with 3 sc in the last st (the black dot in the graphic), then sl st to the first st of the sc border. Tie off and weave in ends.

    Ties – Adding four ties to secure sleeve to water bottle

    Tie on where the black dot is in the graphic. Ch 40. Tie off. This is were I added the optional beads at the end of the ch.

    Tie on where the blue dot is in the graphic. Ch 40. Tie off. This is were I added the optional beads at the end of the ch.

    About half way down the split, repeat the steps above creating 2 more ties (refer to the green dots on the graphic).

    ***If you want to use this pattern simply as a cute cover for you cup, stop now. To turn it into a carrying bag go to the next step.***

    Strap Tabs – This is where I added the D ring clasps.

    The Tabs and clasps are optional. You can just create a simple crochet strap by making a ch as long as your desired strap length plus 16 ch sts (the additional sts are to help with attaching the straps later), sc in each stitch and ch 1 and turning at the end of the row. Make the strap as many rows wide as you desire. Then follow along with the pattern where I attach the strap tabs and attach your straps using the same method.

    *You need TWO tabs*

    Row 1 : (I like to switch to a smaller hook (3.5mm) here to keep sts tight but its okay to continue using the 4.5mm hook as well) With Color A, Ch 20 and turn. Sc in the 2nd ch from hook and each ch across. – 19 sts.

    Row 2: Ch1 and turn. Sc in each st across. – 19 sts.

    Row 3 – 4: Repeat row 2. Tie off after row 4.

    Repeat all steps again for second tab.

    Slide your clasp onto the tab and fold the tab in half. Slide the tab over the edge of the sleeve with one half on the outside of the sleeve and one on the inside. Make sure to place it on the 3rd checker over from the tie (refer to photo).

    **If not using hardware and want to directly attach your strap, fold the end of your strap onto itself at 8 sts in from either end. Place the folded end where it is marked on the photo and follow the directions below for sewing.**

    Using your yarn needle, sew through all three layers (tab, sleeve, other half of tab) in an X and then a square around the bottom of the tab as pictured. This ensures a secure attachment for your strap.

    Strap: Attach your purchased strap to the clasps and you are done!

    Optional Crocheted Short Handle

    • Ch 46.
    • Turn. Sl st in the first 8 chs.
    • Sc in the next 30 chs.
    • Sl st in the last 8 chs.
    • Turn.
    • Skip the 8 sl sts. Sc in the first sc from the previous row.
    • Sc across the next 29 sts. (30 sc total)
    • Fasten off, leaving a long tail.
    • Fold the 8-slip-stitch section at each end back toward the handle to form a loop.
    • Secure the loops. Use the starting tail for one end and the finishing tail for the other, sewing each end firmly to the handle.

    Finished handle: Loop → 30 sc handle → Loop

    Project complete!

    Just like that, your checkered sleeve tumbler bag is all done! The checkers are cute and modern. Now instead of getting a new tumbler for every season, you can just change the colors of your sleeve! I love seeing your finished products so please tag me on instagram if you post them!

  • Thunderbolt Versus Glowforge Laser Cutter

    Since getting my new Thunderbolt laser cutter, my most asked question is which laser cutter would I recommend to others. While I think both Glowforge and Thunder lasers have their pros and cons, one of them definitely outshines the other.

    I made a video comparing each laser cutter by price, software, how user friendly they are, speed, and more. I am an affiliate for glowforge and a Thunder laser partner so I want to be sure to disclose that to you all as well.

    If you ever wanna talk lasers, shoot me a message on instagram! That is my preferred platform and how you’ll get the quickest response!

    *IF YOU ARE LINING THE BAG, DO THIS STEP AFTER ADDING A LINER*

  • Basic Crochet Bucket Hat Pattern

    Hey you! It’s been a while. While I have been playing with yarn behind the scenes, I haven’t shared much on my blog. Lots of big life changes happened recently that have caused me to have to prioritize things differently and putting my blog on the back burner for a minute. In the past 10 months I have moved, gotten engaged, got a second dog (hes a rescue and he is my best friend!), bought a laser engraver to expand the merch side of my business, and so much more.

    I think things are settling down for now and I am so excited to share my latest pattern with you! This basic crochet bucket hat will make for a quick and fun summer make. I usually only make one of all my patterns (crochet ADHD at its finest), but I found myself making this hat on repeat. I have made 3 in less than a week!

  • Scrunchies with the Addi Egg

    Crochet scrunchies has been a staple for me at almost all my craft shows since I started on my yarn journey. I love them. BUT sometimes they can be tricky (looking at your velvet yarn scrunchie) and I need a break from them. I was browsing amazon one day and happened upon a new tool, the Addi Egg.

    It makes knit I-cords and I figured I could use it to make straps for bags or tops. Once I received my Addi Egg and made my first I-cord, I knew what it was perfect for. Addi Egg Scrunchies! They are super quick and so chic. I adore them. Check out my tutorial below!

    Yarn: Weight 4 acrylic or wool yarn – I used caron simply soft and I love this yarn from hobby lobby but most weight 4 acrylic or wool yarns will work

    Hook: small hook to thread your yarn. I used a 2.25mm

    Addi Egg: I got mine here from Amazon

    1/4″ Elastic: 7″ worth per scrunchie

    Loom Hook: This is optional but they really do help keep you from dropping stitches!

    Scissors and yarn needle

    Addi Egg Scrunchie Pattern

    Cast onto addi egg, make sure to attach weight to tail of yarn

    Crank addi egg until your scrunchie is approximately 16″-20″ long

    * For a more ruffled scrunchie look, aim for closer to 20″ long *

    Cast off Addi Egg

    Thread elastic through the I-cord

    Knot the elastic. Seam ends of I-cord together.

    Enjoy your new scrunchie!
