I have a crochet work in progress for nearly every room I frequent – one I work in in my bedroom before bed, one in the office for my lunch breaks or otherwise downtime, one in the living room for when I’m decompressing with a good netflix binge, and several more stored away for later use.
Storing crochet projects has always been a nightmare – I’ve tried different boxes, bins, wads…. but I finally found a solution and I think you’ll love it too.

Crochet Project Storage Bags
I found these great storage bags on Amazon that are enormous – they measure 16.7 X 12.4 and hold a lot of project and yarn. They’ve been great for all of my granny squares, scarves, hats, and other projects – they didn’t do a great job of holding my 50X60 blanket and 20 scrap balls of yarn I’m using to make it, but even a laundry basket has a hard time at that.
There’s a big bonus to these bags though – keep reading for a freebie
Crochet Project Storage Printable
The bags are great on their own but the big bonus is that the label on the front is a perfect fit for my Work In Progress Printable. These little cards are free to print as many times as you wish – they help you track things like pattern name, hook size, yarn, and little notes (like “need 12 more squares” for instance).
Even if you don’t have these crochet project storage bags, these free printable cards come in handy – enter your info below to be taken to the download page.

Click confirm and you’ll be taken to the download page – you’ll also immediately get access to all of my other Crochet printables
Things to consider when deciding how to store crochet projects
- Choose airtight(ish) storage bags and containers
- If you can’t store your hook with your yarn, write down the hook size and store it with your project
- WIPs (works in progress) can get out of hand, so have one place where all of these projects live
