The only differences from the original pattern/chart are minimal :
- instead of one colour, two !!!
- I added and extra round of single crochets to end the bag body, as last round

ReplyDeleteI love it, such cheerful colours. My net crochet bag was a disaster as the yarn I used was only 50% cotton so it grew rather. It's now waiting to be frogged :-( x
ReplyDeleteLove it Ale, now you and howling at the moon have me wanting to do some more crocheting, it has been quite a while, as I did quite a bit of plastic canvas crafting (that i have yet to share......) instead of crocheting! thanks so much for sharing on craft schooling sunday!
ReplyDelete♥oo, super! love your beautiful bag! xxx Riitta♥
ReplyDeleteNice bag! A bag like this can be useful for shopping and it looks also durable. Well done :)
ReplyDeletePretty bag! I like that contrast, too.
