My last pattern was a bear bag, and my new pattern is a bear bag. Huh. But while the last one was made with dk weight yarn and takes a long time to finish, this one is made with super bulky and works up super quickly! Meet my new Fuzzy Bear Belt Bag:
You can get the pattern here at HELLOhappy, Etsy, Ravelry, and Ribblr.
This is an intermediate level pattern. The crochet itself is very simple, but sewing face parts made of different textured and weighted yarns is challenging! Plus there's the zipper. A confident beginner could do this, but it'll be a struggle at times.
Supplies
- Super Bulky (weight 6) yarn in a chenille or plush texture - see my yarn suggestions below
- Worsted (weight 4) yarn for the face and strap - I used Brava Worsted
- 6mm, 4mm, and 3.5mm hooks
- yarn needle
- 9 inch zipper plus a needle & thread and pins/clips
- a 1 inch buckle
The buckle is definitely optional, but it makes it really easy to switch from wearing the bag on your chest, to wearing it on your hips. Plus it makes the strap length adjustable, which is pretty necessary to switch up how you wear it. Plus, as we know, crochet straps stretch out over time, so being able to tighten it easily is great!
