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
