Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




FIELD OF THE INVENTION




The genesis of this tote bag was in the art of crocheting. A person crocheting needs various yarns and a place to store these yarns. Also, from the yarns there is produced a crocheted article. To produce the crocheted articles it is necessary to have crochet hooks.




From having crocheted various articles I found it necessary to find a bag which could simultaneously store the various yarns and the crocheted article and the crochet hooks. From this background I developed the subject knit crochet bag.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




The tote bag comprises several compartments for carrying and storing various articles. There is a central panel comprising a base with two ends. On the exterior surface of each end there is a pocket for storing an article.




There is a first side panel attached to the base. On the interior surface of the first side panel there is a pocket. The first side panel has an exterior surface and there are a plurality of pockets on the exterior surface.




There is a second side panel attached to the base. The second side panel has an exterior surface and there a plurality of pockets attached to the second side panel on the exterior surface.




The base with two ends and a first side panel and a second side panel define a storage region.




There is a cover flap attached to the upper part of the first side panel and to the upper part of the second side panel. The cover flap is used to cover the storage region.




Yarn can be placed in the pockets on the exterior surface of the first side and on the exterior surface of the second side panel. The crocheted article produced from the yarn can be stored in the storage region. Also, the crochet hooks and related items can be stored in the inner pocket in the storage region.




It is possible to store the yarn in the pockets on the exterior surface of the side panels and to work the yarn into a crocheted article and to store the crocheted article in the storage region without moving the yarn from the pockets and without moving the crocheted article any distance from the storage region.




In effect, there is a tote bag or a knit crochet bag which makes it possible to transport the yarn, the crochet hooks and like items, and the crocheted article in one unit so as to lessen the possibility of losing the crocheted article and also losing the yarn and crochet hooks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION




With respect to the drawings it is seen that there is a tote bag


20


comprising a base


24


having a first end


26


and a second end


28


. The ends


26


and


28


are on the same side of the base


24


and are, substantially, at a right angle to the base


24


.




There is a first side


30


connecting with the base


24


and also with the first end


26


and the second end


28


. There is a second side


32


connecting with the base


24


and with the first end


26


and with the second end


28


.




The base


24


, the first end


26


, the second end


28


, the first side


30


, and second side


32


define a central storage area


100


.




There is a lower flap


34


attached to the inside surface of the second side


32


. The lower part of the lower flap


34


is attached at


36


to the inside surface of the second side


32


. The sides of the lower flap


34


are attached at ends


46


and


48


to the inside surface of the second side


32


. The lower flap


34


and the second side


32


define an interior pocket


38


.




There is an upper flap


40


attached at


42


to the inside surface of the second side


32


.




The upper part of the flap


40


is attached at


32


to the interior surface of the second side


32


. The edges of the upper flap


40


are attached at


46


and


48


to the inside surface of the second side


32


.




A fastening means


44


connects with the lower flap


34


and the upper flap


40


so that the pocket


38


can be sealed and the contents of the pocket securely positioned in the pocket


38


.




The fastening means


44


can be one of many such as a zipper, velcro, buttons, and snaps.




There is a cover

52


has an outer edge


56


and an inner edge


58


.




The second member


54


has an outer edge


60


and an inner edge


62


.




The outer edge


56


of the first member


52


and the outer edge


60


of the second member


54


can be attached to the upper part of respective sides


30


and


32


. The attachment can be by sewing together the two parts. The first member


52


can be sewed to the upper part of the second side


32


. The second member


54


can be sewed to the upper part of the first side


30


.




The first member


52


and the second member


54


can be joined by one of many joiners such as a zipper, velcro, buttons, and snaps.

.




The implements used for crocheting can be stored in the pocket


38


in the central storage region


100


.




The central storage region or central compartment


100


is defined by the base


24


, first end
