 I know it`s not a pattern written yesterday, but in February 2018...The fact is that I did post it on my old IG feed, so you can`t find it anymore, and this is the right time of the year to revive it !

Please note that the turning chains are never considered as proper stitches! Tr5tog = It`s a decrease,in this specific case used to give the top curves of the heart.

Row 1 (RS): wrap yarn around hook and insert tip in first chain, work 2DC, turn. [2sts] Row 2 (WS): 2ch, 2DC in first st, 2DC in next st, turn. [4sts] Row 3: 2ch, 2DC in first st, 2DC, 2DC in last st, turn. [6sts] Row 4: 2ch, 2DC in first st, 4DC, 2DC ...

  This is a very quick project and simple, too, because of the yarn weight and the easy repeated stitch (sc in back loops only) from start to end.

 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 !
