Crochet project bag CAL tutorial

18/9/2021

G'day! Welcome to another blog post, I hope you are well.
Crochet-a-longs are fun, they are also great because this CAL for this crochet project bag is split up over 3 weeks, no rush and plenty of time to finish it. Even if you need more time, the videos will be there when you are ready for the next step

Below are details about the supplies needed to make the crochet project bag

Designed by Clare Sullivan for Crochet guild Australia

This pattern is made holding 2 strands of yarn together.
You can also make this bag holding 1 strand - bag will turn out smaller easy to make bigger
It is easy to change the size of the bag by changing the amount of starting stitches and the amount of rows that you do - if you are using the worsted weight/10ply/Aran yarn this thickness of yarn and pattern makes a great size project bag for a shawl/hat or baby item
The orange ball of yarn shown inside the bag is 200 gram
The note book inside the bag is A4
Chain can be substituted for the foundation single crochet (fsc) USA/foundation double crochet fdc Aus/UK
Single crochet (USA) is an Australian/UK double crochet

Easy +
US terminology
The bag is really easy to adjust the size to what you want to make
Size H -10.5 inch/27cm x W 14 inch /36 cm x gusset 4 inch/10 cm

Welcome to the crochet Jessica Shawl CAL (crochet-a-long) !
Friday 16th February at 12 midday Australian Sydney time (AEST) will be the release of the written pattern and the tutorial for the main body of the shawl

Friday 2nd March at 12 midday Australian Sydney time (AEST) will be the 2nd and 3rd part of the tutorial. The 2nd video will teach you how to crochet the edging and the 3rd will teach you how to wash and block your shawl. The blocking video is extra special because I will teach you how to use blocking wires and T-pins. Blocking wires are fabulous and a great tool to use for blocking shawls.
I am also excited to show you the new Red Heart yarn Chic Sheep by Marly Bird and it is 100% Merino and is so soft and squishy giving the shawl a fabulous drape Rated as a easy+ pattern, you will need to know how to read your crochet
