Settle in for some crocheting

Catan crochet bag by Becky Simmons

I’m not a big gamer (video or otherwise), but my son enjoys playing a variety of board and card games with his friends. One of his favorites is Settlers of Catan (or just Catan now, apparently). So my interest was piqued when I saw this crochet Catan hexagon bag by Becky Simmons.

She developed a quick hexagon motif that she stitched up in Catan colors and assembled 19 into a bag that she uses as a project bag. I like it because it’s a subtle geeky reference not everyone would recognize.

Becky also has some neat motif afghans in her Ravelry shop – I liked her Fireworks and Nebula blankets.

Are you a Settler of Catan? What other board games do you enjoy? Let us know in the comments below!

  1. That is so darn cute!!! I love how it is a subtle Catan reference, and it’s a doable project. I once saw an afghan pattern for a Catan pattern, but I was like, “nope, totally can’t do a whole blanket.” This is really cool! I love Settlers of Catan! One of my other favorite board games is Ticket to Ride. Oh, and Carcassone.
