Happy Monday! New free crochet pattern! Michaels.com asked me to use one of their new yarns, Loops & Threads Impeccable Brights, with a “Poolside” theme, so I designed this slushee-themed draw string bag to pop your essentials in while you cool off in the water! Yeah, that’s a real straw! Edit, June 4, 2014: Please find the pattern here on my blog. Michaels.com is currently re-vamping their pattern/project section, and the above Michaels.com link is disabled for now.
To re-inforce the shape of this bag, I re-used a 32 oz. takeout soup container, like this one. I have also seen 32 oz. containers at Target. The bag will still hold its shape pretty well without a container inside as long as you don’t go putting 50 pounds of stuff in there!
Have so much fun with this pattern! I plan to make them in 3 different flavors for Renegade Craft Fair SF next month!
Another hit pattern from Twinkie Chan!!!
Twinkie- you have out-done yourself this time!!!! My Kayley is a Slushee freak & I know she will want one of these to start off the school year! Just hope I can get it finished in time! THANK YOU!!!!!
So cute! You are amazing.
This is beyond amazing! Fantastic job, Twinkie! I’ve definitely added this to my list of things to make, thanks for sharing!
That is awesome! Love it 😀

This is so cute!! Thank you so much!! 🙂
So amazingly awesome! Couldn’t find the soup container at target though…I may just have to break down and buy from amazon because once my friends see these I know I’ll have to make more! Thinking of making either a cola or cherry color for the slushee part though! Love love love!
I have a BUNCH from Amazon and was thinking of selling singles on Etsy as supplies, but they are kinda big, and I think shipping them will make them seem pricier than they should be! Order some take out ! 😉
Love, love, love this!
I love this! I am envisioning this as a pink soft serve as well, I guess I will have to put this on my list, right after order won ton soup from Chinese take out!
Crochet Pattern of the Year! Thank you for creating and sharing this clever and delightful pattern. I made three so far. (See link above.) I used 32-oz yogurt containers for the lining. They are wider or less tall than soup containers so I decreased the cup by two rounds. Either that or I didn’t check my gage and made the cup too big. OK, I admit that it’s the latter.
😉 Thank you! And yogurt containers is a really good idea!
Thank you for sharing Twinkie! I just foud yourpage and your art, i think u’re a genius! 😀
Aw Penny you’re so sweet! Thank you so much!

Michaels.com recently overhauled their site, and most of the patterns are not up yet… (or ever? I have no idea).
IN the meantime, I have been uploading some to my blog.

You ROCK TWINKIE! I’ve had the Slushee bag on my Ravelry favorite for some time, and when I went to print the pattern from Michaels.com today it was gone! Thank-you very much for posting it to your blog. The Slushee Cup bag will be a perfect item for the Knit and Crochet Show give exchange this summer. You really saved the day for me!!
aw yay! im so glad!! woohoo!!! <3
Where do u find the brites yarn. I can’t find it
It might not exist anymore. Yarns are always getting discontinued!
I wonder where to find the yarn I’m not finding the brites
This is a very old post and I don’t think it’s available anymore. You can substitute with any worsted weight yarn, though. I use Red Heart Super Saver!
