In today’s post I want to share with you my Sharon Bag Free Crochet Patterns. This crochet pattern is my very first FREE crochet pattern on my website!
With Mother’s Day right around the corner and the Sharon Bag being named after my mom I feel this is the perfect crochet pattern to share with you today.
My mom bought a new iPad and wanted something to carry it in to help protect it. My mom asked me to make her something she could carry it around in. Therefore the Sharon Bag was created.
You can download an Ad Free version of this pattern from the Ravelry Store here. from my Etsy Shop here or LoveCrafts here.

In this post, not only are you getting the 1 free crochet pattern of the Sharon Bag, but 2 free crochet patterns in one! I designed 2 versions of the Sharon Bag because some people don’t have a protective case around their tablet like I do, so I made a smaller version for those of you who have smaller tablets or just want a smaller bag.
By no means is the Sharon Bag just for electronic tablets. The Sharon Bag can be used as a Purse, a Makeup Bag, a Phone Bag, and can be used many other ways. You can accessorize the Sharon Bag as well. You can add a button, a magnetic closure, a shoulder strap, and more!
Now that all of that has been said, here is version 1, which is the Large version of the Sharon Bag. I shipped this version to my mom and she says it’s a GREAT fit! If you have never done Braid stitches or Cable stitches, I have a couple of Video Tutorials inside the pattern to help you.
