 On my sketch book, this design started on the 2nd of July 2020 and I think it took just one day to be completed. I`ve tried to submit it a couple of times to crochet magazines, but it was completely ignored! But I love it, because it`s simple and bold at the same time! My first version was made in blue, the new one is in hot pink : which one do you prefer most?  The blue version (Turquoise/HH07) starts with a magic circle and you work 6 hDC in the first round. You need two balls in blue and one in steel. The final scallops are made with 7 chains each. The diameter of the bag is 36cm/14.2in . Even the bamboo handles are slightly different from the ones used for the pink bag with a width of 20cm/7.9in . The given pattern is for the pink version ! YOU NEED knitcraft HUG IT OUT super chunky, 200g/100%acrylic/58m in the following shades : Hot Pink/HH08 , 1 ball and Steel/HH02 , 1 ball  Be aware that both Hot Pink and Turquoise are discontinued. At the moment in the Hobbycraft...

As you know, I really like to write my own patterns and to publish photo tutorials ... Very often it is a time consuming kind of task and the amount of work is huge, even when the item the pattern is written for is not that big... I know that many crafters had a go with my patterns and surprisingly there have not been complains about problems in understanding my words or crochet passages... phew!!! I love to try patterns written by other crafters, too. I like it especially to be aware that there are different ways to explain a work, different styles, different range of difficulties and new things to learn ... always something new to learn!!!! A pattern written by another person gives you new challenges and pushes your curiosity to new levels, right? I love all that, I really do!! So, I was really excited to join a selected group of crocheters (Nicole  @tangleandstitch , Janet  @janetleigh37 , Conny  @frogs_crochet , ...
