Crochet Market Bag

 




I had some DK weight cotton yarn in multiple colours. I crocheted this bag using 2 strands together (thickness similar to bulky weight yarn). This bag is very sturdy and you can carry heavy items. This pattern is great for stash busting. I used 9 different colours, but you can use single colour and single strand of worsted or bulky cotton yarn.

Materials

  3. Ch 4 counts as a dc and ch 1 sp.
  4. When crocheting base, join after rounds with sl st into 1st st. 
  5. Sc rounds and worked in spiral without joining at the end of round.

Wanderlust ribbed beanie

It's a beginner friendly pattern that involves no increases or decreases. Beanie is worked flat in a rectangle, the the sides are sewn together and the top is closed. I have used Nako sports wool bulky yarn which is perfect for winter. It is 25% wool and 75% acrylic yarn, which provides sufficient warmth. In addition to that, wool provides strech and elasticity to the beanie. I would totally recommend wool-acrylic blend or 100% wool yarn for this project, but you can also use acrylic yarn. (Only adult sizes are available for free here on my blog. Paid pdf is available on Ravelry which includes all the sizes from preemie to adult large.) Check out the beanies made by my amazing testers. This cute little boy is a perfect model for this beanie.
