Let me present to you my Calypso bag. In this one I combined my love for bobbles and crosses to get this unique texture.
The written pattern is accompanied with numerous pictures for easier comprehension. The bag is not lined so, it does not come with lining instructions.
Yarn and hook: DK yarn of your choice (150 gr) and a 4.00 mm hook. Tapestry needle for sewing the bag and weaving ends.
Used
terms (American terminology): chain (ch), chain space (ch-sp), slip
stitch (sl st), skip (sk), double crochet (dc), crossed double crochet
(X), bobble stitch.
Instructions for the bobble stitch: https://www.yarnspirations.com/row-en/how-to-crochet-bobbles.html
Finished measurements: : 31 x 31 cm (12.20” x 12.20”) of bag’s circle body with the band.
The patterns is in my shops: etsy, ravelry, payhip.
This is so pretty! Reminds me of the Victorian handbags with all those bobbles adn the pastel shade of blue. When I started crocheting I made a couple of simple bags and was so proud of my work. Imagine if I had this pattern back then! :-)
ReplyDeleteLining bags is very easy, if anyone prefers theirs lined they will have no problem doing so.
Thank you Alhana! It is amazing how we can create (crochet) our own fabric to make things, can't we? I usually do not include adding the lining as many crocheters deter from getting patterns if sewing is included. Or maybe it is just my experience...
DeleteThose colors together and the entire ensemble are just absolutely gorgeous.
