I'm trying to make this bag using Catania cotton and Cannon thread held together, crocheted with a size 6/0 (3.5mm) Tulip hook. I am loving the resulting fabric, it is similar in thickness compared to the 3-strands cotton thread sack bags that I made. A bigger hook would make the crocheting easier, but it looks so much better when the stitches are tight.

WIP, Small Tote Bag

another one! I haven't tried making a bag. I am so behind! :(
ReplyDeletedo you know how to make a flat bottom for the bag??
Hi Gene, this is quite a simple pattern, but I can see that mine is smaller than the one pictured.
ReplyDeleteThe first 6 rounds is the bottom part. It had increases at the ends only and makes a flat piece, until you go on crocheting up without increasing ;)
I love it Mimi-another pattern you're going to write up????
ReplyDeleteIt isn't my pattern, Deneen. This is also found on the japanese site I previously mentioned.
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice. I love it! I have been wanting to make a bag, but those sc make me terrified.
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty!
ReplyDeleteYes, very pretty, indeed. You do so well with crocheting bags and totes. I can't wait to see it finished!
