We’re knitting and crocheting along the next two months with these super cute project bags! I really want to see as many of these cute bags as possible so this K+CAL is going to be a contest! You can start anytime until April 16th, but joining early will give you more time to make them! The person(s) who make the most Cupcakes bags and post pictures on Instagram (you must use the #islandcupcakebags so that we’ll see it) and/or Ravelry (the pattern will be released to Ravelry on April 3 or 4th and then you can start posting your pictures) by 5/31/23 will win a great prize (which will be revealed the second week of April)!!
To get an early start and early access, you can order a Cupcake kit or order the pattern 3-pack here (all 3 patterns are here for the price of 1!) if you are ready to get started busting some stash.

Is this not the most fun spring cleaning that you could think of? Clean out your stash and get your projects organized into super cute project bags all at once!

We have put together kits here, but honestly, this is an AWESOME stash buster! multi-strand the bottom and use up all sorts of leftovers and random skeins, then find a worsted to finish off the top!

Because I can’t figure out how to list a pattern as combined knit and crochet, this pattern comes with BOTH the crochet/crochet version and the crochet/knit version (which is my person favorite. That’s 2 patterns for the price of one! Or you can be super clever and get all 3 here for the price of 1! We also have a knit/knit version that is available here.
