11 Omm-azing Crochet Patterns for Yogis

Yoga and crochet are both great ways to meditate, so we thought we’d combine the two to bring you crochet patterns for our stitching yogis.

There are so many ways to bring crochet into your yoga practice. Maybe you need some yoga socks to keep your feet warm during your practice, or perhaps you need a bag to store your yoga mat. You can also stitch up bolsters, blankets and even garments to make your practice as relaxing and beneficial as possible.

Since these items will get a lot of use, we suggest using cotton yarn for most of the patterns. It’s strong and it’s easy to care for when you need to wash it. 

Before you chant om, stitch one of these yoga-friendly crochet patterns. (Don’t forget they make great gifts for your yogi pals, too!)

1. Prana Crochet Yoga Sock

These yoga socks are designed without a heel so your feet can stay warm while you practice. The socks only require one skein of yarn, so it’s a great way to use up something special that’s been waiting in your stash.

2. Yoga Bag

Practice your colorwork with this bold yoga mat bag. Choose a yarn for this project that’s easy to care for, since the bag will probably make contact with the floor a lot. You’ll also want to choose a yarn that’s durable, like cotton.

3. Bulky Bolster

You can stuff this bolster with soft fiberfill, or go for something more firm like a pillow form. Pop the bolster under your knees during savasana to support your back and hips.

This strap is stitched with two strands of cotton yarn held together to ensure durability. The designer points out that the strap can also be used for Pilates poses, so it’s a great gift for both Pilates and yoga enthusiasts.

5. Yoga Top

This is a great, lightweight top to practice in, or you can throw it on over your usual yoga gear for an extra layer. Tunisian crochet is used for the awesome entrelac technique, so you may even learn something new while stitching.
