Crochet Pattern: Eagle Pose Yoga Mat

This yoga mat bag crochet pattern was created out of a genuine need.   I needed something to carry my yoga mat!

Using 100% cotton makes this a very sturdy yoga mat bag that keeps it shapes.  I designed this yoga mat bag crochet pattern with minimal ends to weave and minimal sewing.
