As I said in my previous post, I was not happy to gift my daisy bag, so I had to make a different bag to give to my sisters (yes, I made 2 for my 2 sisters who I was visiting in Aussie. The second one is burgundy).
I found this stunning Bellissima market bag pattern online. It’s a wonderful pattern to follow. She gives two different handle options: Romanian cord or braided crochet cord. I went with the Romanian option. She also has a tutorial on how to line your bag, if that is your preference. I did not line mine.
I used a 5.5ml hook and Stawberries and Cream recycled cotton yarn for this project.
There are so many different crochet bag patterns available online, one of the hardest things was deciding which one to make. I’m happy with these. They are pretty, sturdy, and should keep their shape.
They are also a great size and can be multipurpose – beach bag, shopping bag, laptop bag, school books bag etc.
The handles are a lovely length to easily hang from your shoulder, and still have a good grip on the bag (something we have to consider living in South Africa).
At the moment it seems like I’m better at making things than I am at recording them. Hopefully one day I’ll catch up.
