EGGPLANT CHALK BAG PATTERN

Who said eggplants were just for emojis? Take this one out for a climb!

It is always amazing to me how such simple stitches can become such a hilarious shape! I saw this adorable little amigurumi eggplant pattern by Ollie + Holly and knew I needed to make a chalk bag version! I am really on a roll here with veggie chalk bags, though I want to make a departure back into fruit and work up a banana next. The sky is the limit when it comes to cute and funky chalk bag patterns!

SUNFLOWER CHALK BUCKET PATTERN

Fill ‘er up with chalk and set this cute Sunflower Chalk Bucket down next to you in the gym or at the crag. However you use this chalk bag, its bound to get some laughs.

Spring is here and I am welcoming it with a sunflower-themed chalk bucket crochet pattern. Check out this little beauty!

BROCCOLI CHALK BAG PATTERN

Once again we have a food related climbing chalk bag pattern coming your way! Featuring: the Broccoli Chalk Bag!

BRRROOOOCCCCCOOOLLLIII! More food related crocheted climbing chalk bags! It’s turning into my favorite thing to crochet, and I have to say making vegetables is my jam. I have always loved veggies more than fruit. From just a little girl, broccoli has been one of my favorite foods and I generally don’t eat any fruit at all. Weird, huh?

BARREL CACTUS CHALK BAG PATTERN

Who doesn’t love cacti? This simple yarn creation is made to look like a barrel cactus in bloom.

Cactus, cactus, cactus. They may be the hot crochet pattern choice lately, but it’s not surprising why! Anyone can get on board with the cute factor. This pattern just uses two different colors of yarn and a crochet hook to make something really special. And of course, who else will have a cacti swinging from their belt while they climb?

CUPCAKE CHALK BAG PATTERN

This cupcake chalk bag is so sweet and fun to make. Add a cherry topper and cinch it closed for an adorable chalk bag that will keep your chalk secure and your climbing fun.

Last month, I stumbled upon some adorable cupcake-flannel fabric while rummaging through the JOANN’s remnant fabric bins (who doesn’t head straight there?!). I decided immediately that I would need to crochet a matching cupcake chalk bag so that I could use this precious fabric as the liner. And here we are! More food related chalk bags. I just can’t get enough. It feels like I may need to devote my entire blog to food shaped chalk bags – is that too niche?? I think it would bring me joy, and since I have been Marie Kondo-ing my way through our home, my ability to sense what sparks joy is at an all time high and I’m going with it!

RASPBERRY CHALK BAG PATTERN

This might just be the cutest chalk bag yet! This oversized raspberry chalk bag uses bobble stitches to give it that unmistakable raspberry texture. Fun and easy to make, you can get this project done today and gift it or go and out climb with it!

How cute is this chalk bag?! The bobbles make the project entertaining and quick and you can use left over red and green yarn to complete it. Have a climber in mind who needs a Christmas gift? Give them one of these! Or make one for yourself and show it off on the wall.

CARROT CHALK BAG PATTERN

Who doesn’t want to climb with an oversized carrot hanging from their waist? Guaranteed to make everyone at the gym and crag smile; make this in an afternoon for your favorite climber and they’ll love it.

Continuing on a fruit and vegetable series, I present my Carrot Chalk Bag Pattern! Fun and funky, bright and adorable. This chalk bag is made with double crochet and chains and can be completed in a couple hours – no kidding!

WATERMELON CHALK BAG PATTERN

This adorable watermelon climbing chalk bag only uses half-double crochet and can be made in an afternoon! Celebrate summer days with this bright and fun chalk bag. Guaranteed to stand out in the gym or high up on the wall!

I am hanging on to the last shreds of summer here in the PNW with this watermelon chalk bag! Good thing we are headed south for the winter where I can take this little buddy on some warm weather climbs on desert sandstone.

SOUNDTRACK TO LIFE ON THE ROAD

When living on the road, you end up spending a lot of time driving and listening to music. After a year of #vanlife we found that these were our 6 favorite albums.

Some places that we traveled to during our year on the road were remote and far out of cell range. Thus enter an old iPod packed with music from our college years. We would sometimes be out of service range for weeks (this was especially true in Baja California) and would survive the long days of driving with this loaded iPod. Discover our favorite albums after a year of listening!

We just had our local Pride festival last month and it inspired me to design this beautiful rainbow Pride chalk bag! Pride month should be every month! Show off your Pride on the wall with this colorful, handmade chalk bag. If you can half-double crochet, you can make this chalk bag!
