Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a handicraft bag for holding handicraft utensils.

[0002] The invention is defined in the appended claims. Preferred aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, including the examples. Where certain embodiments are designated as preferred for an aspect of the invention, the corresponding statements also apply to the other aspects of the present invention, mutatis mutandis. Preferred individual features of aspects of the invention (as defined in the claims and / or disclosed in the description) can be combined with one another and are preferably combined with one another, unless otherwise apparent to the person skilled in the art from the present text.

[0003] Craft bags are well known. They are used for storing craft supplies, especially knitting needles, crochet hooks, and double-pointed needles, as well as the corresponding yarns.

[0004] There are different types of handicraft bags, such as handicraft bags in the form of a shoulder bag and handicraft bags in the form of a case in which the handicraft utensils are stored unsorted.

[0005] When traveling with larger handcraft projects, such as sweaters, cardigans, or other knitwear, it's common to use shoulder-style craft bags, which offer enough space for multiple yarns, crochet hooks, and knitting needles. Due to their large storage capacity, shoulder-style craft bags often take up a lot of space. They are therefore difficult to fit into travel bags and often have to be transported in addition to other luggage. This puts travelers at a disadvantage by having to carry an extra piece of luggage on train, plane, or car journeys, for example.

[0006] Craft bags in the form of a craft case are often smaller than craft bags in the form of a shoulder bag and are easier to transport. They are better suited for small craft projects such as socks or hats. However, craft bags in the form of a case do not offer any way to organize crafting supplies. This makes it more difficult to find the necessary knitting or crochet hook in the case, for example. In addition, the storage space in craft cases is often too limited, so that yarns often have to be transported separately, which creates additional clutter. The additional time spent gathering the necessary craft supplies discourages the traveler from working on craft projects or causes them to decide to only work on craft projects at home.

[0007] The present invention is therefore based on the object of addressing at least one of the aforementioned problems. In particular, a solution is to be created with which only the necessary handicraft utensils, such as knitting needles, crochet hooks, and yarn, can be transported in a well-organized and easily accessible manner while traveling, without taking up excessive storage space. At the very least, an alternative to previously known solutions is to be proposed.

[0008] According to the invention, a handicraft bag according to claim 1 is proposed. A handicraft bag according to the invention for holding handicraft utensils comprises - at least two reversibly connected pocket segments, preferably each with an outer material made of textile or predominantly of textile, wherein - the handicraft bag, including at least two bag segments, can be rolled up around a rolling axis, and - at least one of the pocket segments, in particular each of the pocket segments, has at least one insertion pocket for inserting a needle in an insertion direction parallel to the rolling axis, so that the handicraft bag can be rolled up around the rolling axis with handicraft needles inserted in the insertion direction.

[0009] A craft bag is a bag designed for storing and transporting craft items. It is specifically tailored to the size, shape, and / or type of craft item.

[0010] Handicraft utensils are intended for performing various handicrafts, such as knitting or crocheting. Handicraft utensils include knitting needles, including circular knitting needles, knitting needle sets, crochet hooks, double-pointed needles, and yarns, especially balls of wool and partially finished knitted and crocheted items. Examples of knitting needle sets are the addiClick knitting needle sets, and examples of double-pointed needle sets are the addiCraSyTrio sets.

[0011] The craft bag is composed of pocket segments. At least two pocket segments are provided for each craft bag. Preferably, three, four, or five pocket segments can be provided.

[0012] The roll axis describes a virtual axis around which the craft bag can be rolled up. The craft bag is designed to be soft or flexible enough to be rolled up. In particular, it can be rolled up into a substantially cylindrical shape, at least in sections, thus forming a stepped cone when rolled up or, in sections, a cylinder. The roll axis can then form a central axis of the rolled-up craft bag.

[0013] A pocket is designed to have an opening for inserting crafting utensils. A pocket can be sewn onto the respective pocket segment, for example, on three of the four sides, leaving the fourth side open and forming the opening. A pocket is specifically designed so that standard crochet hooks inserted to their full depth still partially protrude from the pocket. One or each pocket can thus have a depth of 3 to 10 cm.

[0014] The insertion direction is the direction in which needlework tools are inserted into the pocket. Straight needles inserted into the pockets are thus essentially aligned parallel to the roller axis.

[0015] Hand needles particularly refer to knitting needles and crochet hooks.

[0016] In particular, two pocket segments are reversibly connected to each other. This can be achieved using a hook-and-loop fastener. However, other options are also possible, such as buttons or a zipper. With at least two reversibly connected pocket segments, the bag can be variably adapted to the space requirements of the craft supplies to be stored. If more storage space is needed for craft supplies, additional pocket segments can be added in addition to the at least two pocket segments, thereby increasing the storage space. If less storage space is required, the additional pocket segments can be removed.

[0017] This allows the user to variably adjust the number of pocket segments and thus also the size of the handicraft bag and the amount of storage space to suit the handicraft utensils.

[0018] The craft bag preferably has 3, 4, or 5 pocket segments. In particular, four pocket segments are provided. Such a craft bag can be equipped with crafting utensils in each pocket segment. For example, one pocket segment can be equipped with knitting items, and another with crochet items. A third pocket segment can contain additional utensils, such as sewing supplies for sewing crocheted or knitted pieces together. A fourth pocket segment can be equipped with tools such as scissors. If only knitting is planned for a trip, the pocket segment containing the crochet items can be detached and left at home.

[0019] Because the needlework bag can be rolled up, it can be stored space-savingly and easily transported in other bags, such as travel luggage. Furthermore, the needlework bag can be rolled up around the yarn, especially one or more balls of wool. This protects the yarn during transport and prevents it from unwinding.

[0020] With at least one pocket for inserting a needle, needles can be stored inside the bag and transported safely without them falling out. Because the needles are inserted parallel to the roll axis, the bag can be easily rolled up and stored in a space-saving manner, even with the needles inserted.

[0021] Preferably, a handicraft bag according to the invention is designed so that at least one of the pocket segments has at least one elastic band for holding a needle inserted into one of the at least one pocket, where the elastic band extends transversely to the roll axis, and preferably the elastic band is arranged in front of the pocket, relative to the insertion direction, in order to additionally hold a needle inserted into the pocket in the insertion direction and protruding from the pocket.

[0022] Such an elastic band can be designed as a so-called flat elastic band, i.e., a flat fabric elastic band, and sewn flat onto the surface of the pocket. The pocket opening can have a finishing seam, and the elastic band, especially the flat elastic band, can be sewn on at some distance parallel to the finishing seam at fastening intervals. A knitting utensil, such as a knitting needle, can then be inserted under the elastic band and further into the respective pocket.

[0023] The elastic band, especially when positioned in front of the pocket, can provide additional support for needles protruding from the pocket, which are tucked under the elastic band as described. This additional fastening allows the needles to be transported more securely without them falling out of the pocket.

[0024] Because the elastic band is positioned perpendicular to the roll axis, knitting utensils can be inserted underneath the elastic band, perpendicular to the elastic band and thus parallel to the roll axis. This allows the bag to be rolled up with the needles inserted in this way.

[0025] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is designed such that - two elastic bands are arranged parallel to each other on at least one of the pocket segments, and / or - the at least one elastic band is divided into several sections in its longitudinal direction, in particular by being sewn to the pocket segment by several seams running parallel to the roll axis.

[0026] The elastic band can be divided into several sections along its length. The division of the elastic band into several sections can be achieved by several seams running parallel to the roll axis, with these seams simultaneously sewing the elastic band and the pocket segment together.

[0027] Dividing the elastic band into several sections allows several needles to be held side by side on a pocket segment, each individually in a section of the elastic band. This allows needles to be easily accessible and clearly organized, eliminating the need for time-consuming searches for specific needles. The elastic band allows the needles to be held while remaining visible.

[0028] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag comprises on at least one of the bag segments - at least one pocket strip for forming a plurality of the pockets, wherein - each of the pocket strips is arranged with a pocket strip longitudinal direction transverse to the roll axis and is divided into several pockets in the pocket strip longitudinal direction, in particular by seams transverse to the pocket strip longitudinal direction, so that in each case pockets are formed with an insertion direction transverse to the pocket strip longitudinal direction, and preferably - at least one first and one second pocket strip are provided, the first being narrower than the second and the first being at least partially sewn onto the second, so that - the pockets formed by the first pocket strip have a smaller insertion depth for inserting needles than the pockets formed by the second pocket strip.

[0029] The pocket strip can be divided into several sections along its longitudinal direction. Each of these sections is referred to as a pocket. The division of the pocket strip into several pockets is preferably achieved by seams. These seams sew the pocket strip to the pocket segment, thereby forming the pocket. They run perpendicular to the pocket strip's longitudinal direction, and thus parallel to the roll axis.

[0030] The first pocket strip can be narrower than the second, in particular by at least 20%. Its extension transverse to the pocket strip's longitudinal direction, and thus parallel or longitudinal to the roll axis, is thus smaller than that of the second pocket strip. Preferably, the first pocket strip is sewn onto the second pocket strip, so that in a top view, the first pocket strip is completely visible and the second pocket strip is partially visible. Because the first pocket strip is narrower, the insertion depth of the first pocket strip can be smaller than the insertion depth of the second pocket strip.

[0031] By dividing the pocket strip into several pockets, several handicraft utensils can be stored in an organized manner, thus eliminating time-consuming

[0032] This prevents the need to search for specific crafting tools. The different depths of the pockets also allow for the storage of crafting tools of different sizes.

[0033] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is preferably designed such that an elastic band is attached to at least one pocket strip.

[0034] As already explained above, this elastic band can be designed as a so-called flat elastic cord, i.e., a flat fabric elastic band sewn flat onto the surface of the bag. The elastic band is used to hold knitting utensils.

[0035] Particularly preferably, the pocket segment on which an elastic band is attached to at least one pocket strip has at least two pocket strips.

[0036] Most preferably, the elastic band is located on the second pocket strip, which is wider than the first pocket strip.

[0037] A knitting utensil, such as a knitting needle, can be inserted under the elastic band attached to at least one pocket strip and further into the first pocket. The elastic band is arranged in such a way that it also holds the knitting utensil, which is inserted into a pocket of the first pocket strip.

[0038] According to one aspect, a handicraft bag is proposed in which the at least two reversibly connected bag segments are reversibly connected to one another by connecting elements, preferably hook and loop fasteners, fastened on opposite sides in parallel to the roll axis.

[0039] These opposing sides can also be referred to as edges or seams. The pocket segments lie against each other along these sides, edges, or seams and can be connected to each other using fasteners, particularly Velcro. The fasteners themselves can also have an elongated shape that extends parallel to the roll axis.

[0040] Because the connecting elements are arranged parallel to the rolling axis, especially since the sides, edges, and seams are also parallel to the rolling axis, the connecting elements themselves do not roll when the craft bag is rolled up. By connecting the sides, edges, and seams, the bag segments can be assembled into a stable bag.

[0041] The connecting elements are preferably hook-and-loop fasteners. Hook-and-loop fasteners often consist of at least one adhesive part, which is a hook-and-loop fastener with barbs, and at least one loop part, which is a hook-and-loop fastener with loops. The adhesive part can be attached to one of the at least two pocket segments, and the loop part to another of the at least two pocket segments. The adhesive part and the loop part are arranged relative to each other in such a way that the barbs of the adhesive part can hook into the loops of the loop part.

[0042] In particular, a fleece part can be arranged on the top side and the adhesive part on the bottom side. To connect them, simply place one pocket segment on top of the other in the connecting area. The adhesive part and the fleece part are then directly connected, thus bonding the two pocket segments.

[0043] According to one aspect, a handicraft bag is proposed in which the bag segments are made entirely or predominantly from a textile consisting of one or more materials selected from the group consisting of: - cotton, other vegetable fibres, wool, other animal fibres and synthetic fibres, - preferably selected from the group consisting of cotton, linen, and a mixture of cotton and synthetic fibers

[0044] The textile is preferably made of cotton or a blend of cotton and synthetic fibers. Cotton textiles and textiles containing cotton are particularly preferred because of their robustness, durability, and high tear and abrasion resistance. Furthermore, cotton textiles are lightweight, which allows for easier and weight-saving transport of the craft bag. Wool and cotton, even blended, and linen, have been recognized as particularly suitable for craft bags, as these materials are also predominantly used in handcrafting and therefore better suited to the bag.

[0045] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is designed such that the bag has 2 to 6 pocket segments, preferably 3 to 5 pocket segments, in particular 4 pocket segments.

[0046] Internal research has shown that the storage space often required for craft supplies can be provided particularly well by a craft bag consisting of four pocket segments, and that 2 to 6 pocket segments, especially 3 to 5 pocket segments, are also suitable. Craft bags with fewer than two pocket segments often do not have enough storage space for craft supplies. Craft bags with more than six pocket segments often have additional, unused storage space, which takes up additional space. Too many pocket segments can complicate the handling of the craft bag.

[0047] According to one aspect, it is proposed that the handicraft bag is characterized in that at least one of the pocket segments has a flap, in particular a textile flap, for completely or partially covering the pocket segments, - wherein the flap is preferably made of the same material, in particular the same textile as the remaining pocket segment, and / or - wherein the flap, as a component of the pocket segment, merges seamlessly into the pocket segment, in particular forming a common piece of textile fabric with the remaining pocket segment.

[0048] The flap can be made of a soft or flexible fabric, or predominantly comprised of such fabric, allowing the flap to be easily folded or folded at various points. The flap fabric is preferably the same as the rest of the bag segment.

[0049] The flap protects needles and other crafting tools protruding from the pocket from falling out. This allows for more secure transport of needles and other crafting tools.

[0050] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is designed such that - the pocket segments are of different sizes, so that one of the pocket segments forms a smallest pocket segment, and - the smallest pocket segment has a reversibly closable insert pocket, which can be reversibly closed at its insertion opening, wherein preferably - the reversibly closable pocket has at least one button or a Velcro fastener for reversible closing.

[0051] Pocket segments of different sizes are pocket segments that have different segment lengths and / or different segment widths. Particularly preferably, the smallest pocket segment has the smallest segment area. In the preferred case where the pocket segments are rectangular, the approximate segment area can be determined by the product of the segment length and segment width.

[0052] A reversibly closable pocket can, for example, be sewn onto the pocket segment on three of the four sides, thus forming the pocket, while the fourth side remains open, forming an opening. This opening can be reversibly closed, for example, using a hook-and-loop fastener. Small accessories, such as buttons, are often required for handicrafts. To prevent these from falling out of a pocket, a reversible closure is advantageous. Hook-and-loop fasteners or buttons are particularly suitable for closing the pocket, as they do not, or only minimally, impede the rolling up of the handicraft bag.

[0053] In many cases, it may be preferable for the smallest bag segment to include a loop for holding the craft bag together in the rolled-up state. Such a loop can be made of an elastic band and can be designed to be turned inside out to hold the rolled-up bag together, so that the rolled-up bag can then be pushed through this turned-over loop.

[0054] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is formed by differently sized pocket segments so that in a rolled-up state forms the shape of a stepped cone, with several or the flaps for covering the respective pocket segment each - can be folded forwards in a direction to cover at least one pocket of the respective pocket segment, and - can be folded in a rearward direction to release at least one pocket of the respective pocket segment and in particular: - the craft bag can be rolled up with the flaps folded forward or backward.

[0055] In particularly preferred embodiments, in a rolled-up craft bag, all flaps of the craft bag are either folded forward to cover the at least one insert pocket, or backward to expose the at least one insert pocket.

[0056] If the flaps for covering the respective pocket segment are each folded forward in one direction to cover at least one pocket of the respective pocket segment and the pocket is then rolled up so that it forms the shape of a stepped cone, the handicraft utensils stored therein are not accessible and can therefore be transported particularly advantageously.

[0057] If the flaps of each pocket segment are folded backward in one direction to expose at least one pocket of the respective pocket segment, and the pocket is then rolled up so that it essentially forms the shape of a stepped cone, the crafting utensils stored therein from multiple pocket segments are accessible simultaneously. Thanks to its stepped cone shape, the crafting bag can also be easily positioned vertically when rolled up.

[0058] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is designed such that each bag segment has a segment width parallel to the roll axis and a segment length transverse to the roll axis, as well as a segment thickness transverse to the segment length and transverse to the segment width, wherein - the handicraft bag has a segment thickness of a maximum of 5% of a segment width when not rolled up and / or - the pocket segments are mounted in a row in such a way that they have a larger segment width starting from the smallest pocket segment to the next, adjacent pocket segment, in stages parallel to the roll axis, - wherein the increase in width parallel to the roll axis for adjacent pocket segments is preferably not more than 45%, preferably in the range of 10% to 35%.

[0059] If such a craft bag is laid flat on a flat table in an unrolled state, i.e., if it lies unrolled on the table, the segment width refers to a direction parallel to the rolling axis and parallel to the table surface and thus describes the extension of the respective bag segment in this direction. The segment length is the width of the respective bag segment perpendicular to the segment width and parallel to the table surface. The segment thickness is determined perpendicular to the segment width, perpendicular to the segment length, and perpendicular to the table surface; it thus describes the thickness of the craft bag perpendicular to the table surface. The sum of the segment lengths of all bag segments approximately equals the total length of the craft bag.

[0060] In a likewise preferred embodiment, the pocket segments of the handicraft bag according to the invention can be fastened in series such that they have a gradually larger segment width; for example, a handicraft bag according to the invention with four pocket segments that are linked together in the sequence abcd can have the following segment widths: an outer pocket segment (a) with a segment width in the range of 14 to 22 cm, a pocket segment (b) reversibly linked to the outer pocket segment (a) with a segment width in the range of 22 to 29 cm, a pocket segment (c) reversibly linked to the pocket segment (b) with a segment width in the range of 29 to 38 cm, an outer pocket segment (d) reversibly linked to the pocket segment (c) with a segment width in the range of 39 to 51 cm.

[0061] In a particularly preferred embodiment, the pocket segments have a substantially rectangular shape when viewed perpendicular to the table surface, when the craft bag is laid flat on a flat table in the unrolled state. The segment area in this embodiment can be calculated from the product of the segment length and the segment width. In this embodiment, the pocket segments of the craft bag are particularly preferably arranged in a row such that the segment areas of the adjacent pocket segments increase incrementally.

[0062] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is characterized in that the craft bag comprises 3 or more pocket segments and wherein one or more of the middle pocket segments can be removed from the craft bag.

[0063] With at least three or more pocket segments, the bag can be flexibly adjusted to the space requirements of the crafting tools it is storing. If less storage space is needed, the middle pocket segments can be removed. This allows the craftsperson to flexibly adjust the number of pocket segments, and thus the size of the crafting bag and the amount of storage space, to the crafting tools they are carrying.

[0064] For example, the craft bag can have four pocket segments linked together in the sequence abcd. If the user requires less storage space, one or both of the middle pocket segments (b) and (c) can be removed. This would result in a craft bag containing either three pocket segments in the sequence acd or abd, or a craft bag containing two pocket segments in the sequence ad.

[0065] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is characterized in that a loop is attached to one of the bag segments, preferably the smallest bag segment, to hold the craft bag together when rolled up.

[0066] In a preferred embodiment, the loop is an elastic band; more preferably, the elastic band is a flat rubber cord. The loop is preferably long enough to be pulled tightly around the rolled-up craft bag or wrapped around it, thereby holding the rolled-up craft bag in its rolled-up state.

[0067] According to one aspect, the handicraft bag is characterized in that - at least one of the elastic bands and / or - at least one of the Velcro fasteners is set off by an optical contrast from at least one pocket segment, preferably the color, - of the at least one elastic band is light grey, particularly preferably selected from the group of RAL grey tones RAL 7004, RAL 7030, RAL 7032, RAL 7035, RAL 7036, RAL 7038, RAL 7040, RAL 7045, RAL 7044 and RAL 7047 and / or - the at least one hook and loop fastener is light grey, particularly preferably selected from the group of RAL grey tones RAL 7004, RAL 7030, RAL 7032, RAL 7035, RAL 7036, RAL 7038, RAL 7040, RAL 7045, RAL 7044 and RAL 7047 and - of the at least one pocket segment is blue, particularly preferably selected from the group consisting of the RAL blue shades RAL 5000, RAL 5002, RAL 5003, RAL 5010, RAL 5013, RAL 5017, RAL 5022, RAL 5026.

[0068] Contrasts, within the meaning of the invention, can be any contrast. Contrasts are preferably selected from the group of seven known color contrasts. It is particularly preferred to have multiple color contrasts simultaneously. For example, light gray hook-and-loop fasteners and light gray elastic bands can be contrasted from a dark blue pocket segment both by a light-dark contrast and by a color-in-itself contrast.

[0069] A contrast makes it easier to visually distinguish between hook-and-loop fasteners and elastic bands on the bag segments. By making it easier to visually distinguish between the elastic bands and the bag segments, the user can find the elastic bands more easily and thus store craft supplies more quickly in the bag. By making it easier to visually distinguish between the hook-and-loop fasteners and the bag segments, the user can find the hook-and-loop fasteners more easily, allowing the bag segments to be connected more quickly.

[0070] The invention is explained in more detail below using exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying figures.

[0071] The technical features are explained in the figures. However, the specific embodiment shown in the figures also contains preferred design elements. The craft bags or sections thereof can be realized in many different embodiments to achieve the technical effects explained in the figures. Some of these embodiments have been selected for illustrative purposes, which can also form a special design. Fig. 1 shows a flat handicraft bag partially filled with handicraft utensils Fig. 2 shows an empty, flat handicraft bag, with the bag segments separated from each other Fig. 3 shows a rolled-up handicraft bag filled with handicraft utensils, with the flap folded back to release the pocket Fig. 4 shows a rolled-up handicraft bag filled with handicraft utensils, with the flap folded forward to cover the pocket

[0072] In Fig. 1 shows the handicraft bag 100 as an example. It has four pocket segments 101 to 104. The pocket segments are each connected to each other with a hook and loop fastener, which is Fig. 2. Each pocket segment has at least one insert pocket 106. Each pocket segment has a base section 107 made of fabric, i.e., textile, onto which the insert pockets 106 are sewn.

[0073] Each pocket has an opening seam 108, in front of which, relative to an insertion direction, an elastic band 109 is sewn. The elastic band 109 is sewn at several seams 110 so that knitting utensils 111, which are also representative of the other knitting utensils that do not have reference numerals, can be inserted under the elastic band in between so that they can also be inserted into an adjacent pocket 106. The pocket segments 101 to 104 also each have a flap 131-134 that can be folded forward to cover the respective pocket segment—to cover the at least one pocket 106—or backward to expose the at least one pocket 106 of the respective pocket segment. The flaps 131-134 are also made of textile, so they do not form rigid flaps in the perhaps conventional sense. They are basically designed like pieces of fabric.

[0074] The four pocket segments 101 to 104 have different segment lengths and segment widths. The pocket segments are connected to one another in a row such that, starting from the smallest pocket segment 101 and extending to the next, adjacent pocket segment 102, they gradually increase in segment width parallel to the roll axis. Pocket segment 104 thus has the largest segment width.

[0075] On the pocket segment 101 with the smallest segment width, there is a loop 113 for holding the craft bag together when rolled up. The pocket segment 101 also has a reversibly closable insert pocket 114. This reversibly closable insert pocket is sewn onto the pocket segment on three of the four sides, leaving the fourth side open and thus forming the opening. This opening can be Fig. 1 can be reversibly closed by a Velcro fastener 105.

[0076] In Fig. 2 shows the handicraft bag 200 as an example. It has four pocket segments 201 to 204. The pocket segments are each connected to each other with a hook-and-loop fastener 221-223, of which only the adhesive part is shown. In addition to the Fig. The adhesive parts of the hook and loop fasteners 221-223 shown in Figure 2 are each located on the pocket segment adjacent to the adhesive part - on the pocket opposite the insertion pocket 206 and thus in Fig. 2 non-visible side - a fleece part for reversibly connecting the adjacent pocket segments.

[0077] Each pocket segment has at least one pocket 206, and each pocket segment also has a base section 207 made of fabric, onto which the pockets 206 are sewn. Each pocket has an opening seam 208, in front of which an elastic band 209 is sewn. The elastic band 209 is sewn at some seam points 210 so that knitting utensils can be pushed through under the elastic band in between so that they can also be inserted into an adjacent pocket 206. The four pocket segments 201 to 204 have different segment lengths and segment widths. The pocket segments are connected to one another in series such that, starting from the smallest pocket segment 201 to the next, adjacent pocket segment 202, they have a gradually larger segment width parallel to the roll axis. Pocket segment 204 therefore has the largest segment width.The pocket segments 201 to 204 also each have a flap 231 - 234 which can be folded forward to cover the respective pocket segment - to cover the at least one insert pocket 206 - or backward - to release the at least one insert pocket 206 of the respective pocket segment.

[0078] On the outer pocket segment 201 with the smallest segment width, on the side opposite the hook and loop fastener 221, there is a loop 213 for holding the craft bag together in the rolled-up state. The loop 213 is turned inside out to the position shown in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4. The pocket segment 201 also has a reversibly closable insert pocket 214. This reversibly closable insert pocket is sewn onto the pocket segment on three of the four sides, so that the fourth side remains open and thereby forms the opening. This opening can be Fig. 2 can be reversibly closed by a Velcro fastener 205.

[0079] On the other outer pocket segment 204 with the largest segment width, there is no Velcro fastener on the side opposite the Velcro fastener.

[0080] Fig. Figure 3 shows an example of a rolled-up craft bag 300. This has a stepped conical shape. The rolled-up craft bag 300 consists of four pocket segments 301 to 304, which are reversibly connected to one another by several hook-and-loop fasteners, of which only the middle hook-and-loop fastener 322 is visible. One adhesive part of the hook-and-loop fastener is located on the side of the insert pocket 306, while the connected fleece part is located on the adjacent pocket segment.

[0081] In Fig. 3, only the flaps 331 and 333 of the pocket segments 301 and 303 can be seen. These are folded back to expose the at least one insert pocket 306 of the respective pocket segment. The elastic band 309 differs from the elastic band 209 in particular in that it is designed as a double band in the two pocket segments 302 and 304, i.e., two elastic bands running closely together and parallel to one another, with the pocket segment 302 having two such double bands. On the third pocket segment 303, the elastic band is designed as a quadruple band. The elastic band 309 is sewn on at some seams 310 so that knitting utensils 311 can be pushed through under the elastic band in such a way that they can also be inserted into an adjacent insert pocket 306.On the outer pocket segment 301 with the shortest segment length, on the side opposite the hook-and-loop fastener 305, there is a loop 313 for holding the craft bag together in the rolled-up state. The rolled-up craft bag is held together by a loop 313, which corresponds to the loop 213 of the... Fig. 2, which is turned inside out here to hold the roll.

[0082] In Fig. 4 shows an example of the rolled-up handicraft bag 400, which has a stepped conical shape. The rolled-up handicraft bag 400 consists of four pocket segments 401 to 404. The flaps of the pocket segments 401 to 404 are folded forward to cover at least one pocket of the respective pocket segment. This is shown in Fig. 4 is illustrated by an indicated loop shape on the flap 433 of the pocket segment 403. On the outer pocket segment 401 with the smallest segment width, on the side opposite the hook-and-loop fastener, there is a loop 413 for holding the craft bag together when rolled up. This loop also corresponds to the loop 213 of the Fig. 2, which is turned inside out here to hold the roll together. The rolled-up craft bag is thus held together by loop 413.
