Textured Crossbody Tote Bag










































I needed to make something for my niece's birthday, and I had a 10oz Skein of Red Heart Super Saver Ombre that I wanted to use as much as possible to make her a bag.  I couldn't find a pattern that clearly stated it would take around the amount of yarn (482 yards) that is in one of these, so I just sat down and started doing some things and out came this bag.  I used almost the entire skein, I had enough left to make 2 tassels, so I did and added those to the bag.  

Materials Needed:



Body:


Ch 47

Row 1: Sc in 3rd ch from hook, sc in each ch across, 45 st.  Rotate, and sc in each ch on the other side, 45 st. (90 st). Place Marker.


Row 2 - 4: Work in rounds, using your stitch marker at the end of each row to keep count.  Sc in each st (90 st) until the end of the round.


Row 5: *Dc in next stitch, Fpdc in next stitch.  Repeat from * 44 more times.  On the 45th st, dc.  This should be the last stitch of this row on this side.  Rotate work to finish backside *dc in next stitch, Fpdc in next stitch.  Repeat from * 44 more times.  On the 45th st, dc.  This will result in 2 dc being next to each other on both the left and right sides of the bag.  This is normal.


Row 6:  Continuing to work in the round,  *Fpdc in next stitch, dc in next stitch.  Repeat from * 44 more times.  On the 45th st, Fpdc.  This should be the last stitch of this row on this side.  Rotate work to finish backside *Fpdc in next stitch, dc in next stitch.  Repeat from * 44 more times.  On the 45th st, Fpdc.  This will result in 2 Fpdc being next to each other on both the left and right sides of the bag.  This is normal.

Rows 7-30: Continue to repeat row 5 for odd-numbered rows and 6 for even-numbered rows.



Row 31- 34: hdc in each st around (90 st).

Row 35: Ch 2, *hdc in each st for 17 st.  Ch 12, sk 11 st, then hdc in each stitch for the remaining 17 st* on that side, turn, and repeat from*



Row 36:  hdc in ec stitch, then each chain, then each st, then each ch to end (92 st).


Row 37:  hdc in ea st around (92 st).


Row 38-39: sc in ea st around (92 st). Sl st to first stitch in row.   Do not cut yarn.




Strap:


With yarn still attached, turn your work and slip stitch through the last 5 stitches you made.  

Row 1: ch 1, turn, sc in next 10 st

Row 2-201: repeat row one until the strap is desired length, I did 201 rows.


Row 202: locate the middle 10 stitches on the other side of the bag and mark them off.  Lay the end of the strap on top of the outside edge of the bag, so you are facing where you can see inside the bag and your stitches will be on the inside of the strap.  Then sc in the 10 st of both the strap and the bag at the same time.  Fasten off, weave in ends. 





NOTE:  The strap is a bit too long for me, but she is much taller than me.  You can check the length as you go and stop when it works for you.  

Optional:  I had enough yarn left on my skien to make 2 4” tassels wrapped about 30x each on Clover Large Tassel Maker.

Granny Square Market Bag

Materials Needed: Around 590yd of DK yarn, I used Lion Brand Yarn 525-201 Mandala Yarn, Unicorn, 1-Pack 5mm Crochet Hook I also love to use my Boye Ergonomic Crochet Hook Handle , it really makes a difference! Stitch Marker Tapestry needle  (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just follow from row 24 on.  The chain 80 is for the straps, so you can adjust those on your preference.  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch hhdc = herringbone half double crochet Pattern: Row 1: ch 4, sl in 1st ch to form a ring.  Ch 3(counts as stitch), 2dc, ch2, *3dc ch2* repeat from * until you have 4 clusters of dc, sl to top of ch3. Row 2:  sl st to the corner

Granny Square Shrug Sweater

   I had seen a few granny square sweaters and shrugs, and I wanted to try making one.  This is a bit more of a "recipe" than a pattern.  I have written down exactly how I made one that fit me, but I also have notes on where to make adjustments and try it on to see if you need to make those changes.   Materials Needed: 6mm Crochet Hook Red Heart Comfort Yarn-Hot Pink , 1 ball Red Heart Super Saver Black , approximately 1.5 skeins Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Summary: You can really use any granny square to do this.  It doesn’t have to be the same size or style as mine.  The idea is to make a large granny square, then cinch the top and bottom a lot and the sides a little less.  So if you are using a granny square you already have or one that’s different in size, just start with "Securing into Sweater Shape."  Abbreviations: st = stitch ch = chain sc = single crochet dc = double crochet sl = slip stitch Pattern: Main Body: Row
