Step-by-Step Pattern for Sage Green Three-Tier Crochet Bathroom Organizer — Free Pattern
Row 1: Main Back Panel Foundation
Ch 49. Sc in the second ch from the hook and across, creating a smooth base. Your work should lay flat with a total of 48 sc at the end of this row.
Rows 2–8: Building Height
Ch 1, turn your work, and sc across each row. By the end of Row 8, you’ll have completed 8 rows of dense, textured fabric, maintaining 48 sc in each row.
Rows 9–70: Creating Density
Continue to repeat Row 2, sc across while maintaining even tension throughout. This section focuses on building the length of your Sage Green Three-Tier Crochet Bathroom Organizer—by Row 70, you should still have 48 sc per row, and your fabric should start to feel substantial.
Rows 71–140: Continuing the Texture
Keep working sc across each row for another 70 rows. Your fabric should feel increasingly dense, perfect for holding bathroom essentials, creating 48 sc in each row as you go.
Rows 141–200: Finishing Section
Maintain the pattern, stitching 48 sc across each row until you reach Row 200. This portion finalizes the back panel's texture, adding depth and sturdiness to your sage green organizer.
Rows 201–210: Lower Finishing Touch
For the last section of the main back panel, work 48 sc across each row. By Row 210, your back panel is complete, and you’ll be ready to fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
Row 1: Large Upper Pocket
Ch 49. Sc in the second ch from the hook and continue across. You should have 48 sc by the end of this row, creating the foundation for your large pockets.
Rows 2–8: Upper Pocket Height
Ch 1, turn, and sc across for 7 more rows. At Row 8, you should have a nice, uniform rectangle of 48 sc, ready to be transformed into a pocket.
Row 9: Starting the Decorative Pattern
Ch 3 (this counts as your first dc), turn, and sk 1 st. Dc in the next st, then ch 1, sk 1 st, dc in the next st. Repeat this pattern across for a total of 24 dc and 23 ch-1 spaces, creating a beautiful open design.
Row 10: Completing the Design
Ch 3, turn your work, and dc into each dc and ch 1 sp along the row. You will have 24 dc, continuing to build on the lovely texture from the previous row.
Rows 11–14: Repeating the Pattern
Repeat Row 10 for an additional four rows. Your pockets will gain further depth and a consistent pattern, with 24 dc on each row, setting the stage for a sturdy design.
Row 15: Transition to Sc
Ch 1, turn, and sc in each dc and ch-1 space across. You should finish with 47 sc, creating a solid finish for the decorative pocket.
Row 16: Finalizing Pocket Shape
Ch 1, turn, and complete another row of sc across. By the end, you’ll have 47 sc, and your large upper pocket will be nearly complete, ready for sewing.
Part 3, Row 1: Small Lower Towel Pocket
Ch 41. Sc in the second ch from hook and across, leading to a total of 40 sc. This smaller pocket will hold your hand towel snugly.
Rows 2–12: Building Your Towel Pocket
Ch 1, turn, and sc across for 11 additional rows. At this point, your small pocket should measure a uniform block of 40 sc, ready to support your towel.
Rows 13–18: Strengthening the Pocket
Continue to sc across for another 6 rows. This step reinforces your pocket, ensuring it can hold the towel securely, with 40 sc maintaining consistency.
Part 4, Row 1: Hanging Straps
Ch 9. Sc in the second ch from the hook and work across. Finish with 8 sc to create a sturdy strap to hang your organizer.
Rows 2–28: Extending the Length of Straps
Ch 1, turn, and sc across for 27 more rows, reaching 28 rows total. Adjust the length according to your towel rail; your straps should be comfortably long.
Part 5: Assembly
Lay the main backing panel flat with RS facing upward. Position your first pocket towards the top, leaving enough space for the straps, then sew along the sides and bottom, leaving the upper edge open for easy access.
Step 2: Positioning Additional Pockets
Place your second large pocket just below the first with a gap of 1–2 inches between them. Sew its sides and bottom, securing both pockets in place within the back panel.
Step 3: Adding the Small Pocket
Center the small lower towel pocket near the bottom of the backing and secure it by sewing along the sides and bottom, ensuring it’s snugly attached for maximum functionality.

Sage Green Three-Tier Crochet Bathroom Organizer FAQs
Can I use a different type of yarn instead of cotton?
Absolutely! While this pattern is designed with worsted weight cotton in mind for its durability and washability, you can use acrylic or a cotton-blend yarn if that's what you have on hand. Just keep in mind that the texture and drape may vary slightly, so you might need to adjust your hook size for the best results.
How can I make the organizer larger or smaller?
Don’t panic! If you want to change the size of your Sage Green Three-Tier Crochet Bathroom Organizer, simply adjust your starting chain in multiples of 4. For a larger version, increase the chain number, and for a smaller one, just reduce it. Just remember to do a gauge swatch first to check your tension!
Why is my work curling at the edges?
Curling can happen when your tension is too tight or if you’re using a hook that’s too small for your yarn. A quick fix is to loosen your tension by relaxing your grip or trying a larger hook size. If the fix doesn’t work, blocking your piece after finishing can also help flatten it out!
What hook size should I use for this pattern?
For the best results on your Sage Green Three-Tier Crochet Bathroom Organizer, use a 4.0mm (G) hook. This size is perfect for achieving that dense and sturdy fabric we want for this project. If you find your stitches are too tight or loose, you can adjust to a larger or smaller hook as needed.
I've dropped a stitch; how do I fix it?
Don't worry, fixing a dropped stitch is easy! Just weave your yarn back through the remaining loops in the row, pulling it back up to the correct position. If you're unsure, it might help to check the row above and follow along to match the pattern. Take your time, and you'll have it back on track in no time!
What’s the best way to secure the pockets to the main panel?
To securely attach the pockets, align them properly and sew along the sides and bottom, leaving the top open for easy access. I recommend using a yarn needle and the same yarn to keep it cohesive. Make sure to reinforce the sewing edges, especially if you'll be placing heavier items in the pockets!
