👉 You're going to LOVE this zero-waste crochet pattern that uses scrap yarn and reclaimed clothing.

This bag pattern does double duty: it teaches you a technique and gives you a finished zero-waste project to show for it.

You'll learn how to cut up old clothing you'd otherwise toss and use it as a core to crochet over, then follow step-by-step instructions to stitch it into a functional bag. Scrap yarn works perfectly here, so it's a great way to raid your stash and clear out your closet at the same time.

The pattern includes instructions for two handle options: crocheted handles or leather straps repurposed from an old belt or purse. Once you've got the technique down, the potential to riff on it is huge. Mix up your fabrics and yarns for a completely different bag every time.

What you'll learn:

• How to prep and cut old clothing into a crochet core
• How to crochet over a fabric or t-shirt yarn core using scrap yarn
• How to construct a functional tote-style bag step by step
• Two handle finishing options: crocheted or repurposed leather

This pattern is a great fit if you:

• Have scrap yarn you want to use up (any weight yarn works!)
• Want to upcycle old clothing or textiles
• Love zero waste and slow fashion crafting
• Are looking for a meditative technique you can keep riffing on
