Camping Chair Cozy Crochet Pattern

There’s something about sitting in a circle with friends, chatting and crocheting away. Whether we’re watching a campfire or a sporting event, I know I can always use more pockets or compartments for storing my phone, beverage, yarn, and crochet tools like hooks and yarn needles, etc. Enter the Camping Chair Cozy pattern in TWO sizes!

Camping Chair Cozy Crochet Pattern

If you, too, love to chat with friends while watching a sporting event or crocheting away, this camping chair caddy is the perfect thing for you. Not only can we have a caddy for our phones and beverages, but now we have a larger one as well for a skein of yarn and our crochet tools! A yarn caddy for your camping chair! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! 😍

There are two sizes of this camp chair cozy pattern. A smaller size that hold a can of pop or beer and your phone, and a larger size that can hold a whole skein of yarn as well as crochet tools such as hooks, scissors, yarn needles, tape measure, etc.

In order to keep the caddy securely in place we’ll use sew-on magnetic closures like these.

If you’re stash busting or cutting costs, you could use the optional chain ties instead. Both work great! I am using a 100% cotton for my cozies, Dishie Worsted, but you can use practically any other worsted weight yarn if you’re stash busting. They are so quick and take not much yarn, so experiment away! 🧶

For the cozy portion of this pattern we are using the Granny Stitch worked in rounds back and forth. For the phone caddy portion of this pattern we are using the Granny Stitch worked in flat row. Both are easy, fun, and quick! Here’s a full tutorial on the Granny Stitch in Flat Rows if you need to get your feet wet first.

Ready? Let’s make some camping chair cozies!
