This pattern is really close to my heart as I designed it while I was at the hospital for a week with my son who’s been really ill.
I was sitting next to him all the time and I wanted to keep my mind and hands busy so I asked my husband to grab some yarn and bring it in…this is how this bag was born!

It works up super fast, it’s quite easy (using only double crochets and single crochets) and it can be a great stash buster too! What else do you need?

Advanced beginner
