Tie Gift Bag ~ A Free Crochet Pattern

Have you ever struggled finding the perfect project to crochet a guy? I do... All. The. Time! I just don't feel the men in my life would truly appreciate a crocheted gift. (They really don't know what they're missing!) The Tie Gift Bag Crochet Pattern solves that problem! 

With a crocheted gift bag, I can hope for a quick comment about how cute it is, and then really don't have to think about it again. When I've gifted any kind of wearable, I always tend to wonder if it's getting used or forgotten.

Has this happened to you?

Not only have I struggled with finding the perfect crochet pattern for men, I also don't want to spend a great deal of time on something that just won't be appreciated. As I've admitted countless times before, I'm a selfish crafter.... if I'm making anything as a gift, it truly is special!

This crochet gift bag was designed as a Father's Day gift in mind. But really, any special occasion for any tie-wearing person would be the ideal recipient.
