How to Make Crochet Baby Sock Laundry Bags

Crochet baby sock laundry bags are an adorable and practical way to keep those tiny socks organized during washing. Not only do they prevent socks from getting lost in the laundry abyss, but they also help make sure matching pairs stay together. The handmade touch of crochet adds a lovely aesthetic to this everyday household item, making laundry day a little bit sweeter. These bags are easy to customize with different colors and patterns, making them a fun and personalized addition to any baby's laundry routine. With a crochet baby sock laundry bag, you can say goodbye to solo socks and hello to a more organized and charming laundry experience!

Materials

# 10 cotton thread

• Sizes G & F crochet hooks
• 1 drawstring stopper (optional)

Gauge

Not critical but mine is, 4 double crochet & 4 chain 2 spaces = 2 inches

Bag Dimensions

The finished bag is about 10 inches across at its widest and 8 inches long.

Notes

This bag will be worked in the round without joining until the last round. You may use a stitch marker at the beginning of the rounds if you want, but I just marked the beginning side of the bag.

Instructions

Starting the Bag

With G hook:

Chain 2.

Round 1

6 single crochet in the second chain.

Round 2 and Beyond

2 double crochet in each stitch around until you have a total of 40 double crochet.

Next Round

Chain 2, 1 double crochet in the next stitch around.

When you reach the first chain 2, proceed as follows:

• 1 double crochet in chain 2, chain 2, repeat from * until your bag is as long as you want (or 8 inches like mine), ending on the beginning side of the bag.

Changing Hooks

Change to F hook:

Next Round

2 single crochet in each chain 2 space around. Join with a slip stitch in the first single crochet.

Last Round

Chain 1, slip stitch in the next single crochet around. Join with a slip stitch in the first slip stitch of this round. Cut thread and hide ends.

Making the Tie

With F hook for tie:

Leaving the end long enough to be included in the tassel, make a chain about 24 inches long, slip stitch in each chain.

Cut yarn leaving the end long enough to be used in the tassel.

If you are using a drawstring stopper, feed the string through it then make tassel-type fringe on both ends of the string. You will find instructions here:

If you need them.

Finishing Touches

If you are not using a stopper, I suggest that you slip stitch the drawstring fast to the back of the bag when it is about 12 inches long, then continue with another 12 inches. Finish your tie the same as above.
