Summer is here! Anxiously waiting for a sunny day where I can flaunt my Boho look wearing my favourite multi-print Hareems n dutch braid hairstyle and carrying my Hobo Bag!

Yes, I wanted to make a multipurpose bag for myself which I can take on beaches, grocery stores, Michaels/ Jo-Ann craft shop, etc. I was not planning to apply any cloth underneath to cover the holes or gaps in other defined crochet bags. Thus, I chose single crochet stitch for making this bag. The best part of single crochet is the tight stitch design which gives a proper full coverage for all your items. Yes, I agree that it is the time-consuming too. I chose ombre-earthy look yarn from Michaels.

My client liked my bag and ordered one for herself, especially for a beach trip. So I selected the combination of blue, yellow and white (beach look) for her from Jo-Ann. I also added POM-POM to give it a more outdoorsy look.

Process:

Hobo Bag:-

I followed Jo-Ann Bucket Bag instructions to make this Ombre-Earthy hobo bag. The Base is 84 SC stitches that continue to top. To acquire this handle size, I have SC 53 times.

Beach Bag:-

For Beach Look Bag, I followed Craft Passion Beach Bag. Instead of buying leather strips, I made the handles myself using the single crochet (sc) stitch. The base size is 120 sc. Starting from 6 sc and eventually increasing by 6 stitches at every step. I have made the handles separately. 60 chains and continued for 4 rows. To make the handles thick, I have combined two strands of same colour yarn.

Product Specifications:

Defining Dimensions:-

• Height: 22″
• Diameter: 20″

Optional Alterations:-

• The pouch closing can be drawstring made of crochet chain, ribbon, resin strap, snap-button, zip etc.
• You can add pom-pom, tassels, charms, miniature idols, mini toys, amulets etc matching the colour with the edging or the base colour. Link to make pom-pom and tassels.
• You can attach flowers, beads, appliques or a bow made of crochet, plastic, suede leather, fabric etc to make it more interesting.

Remember: do not over accessorise it. This hides the beauty of the pattern itself. Believe in elegance simplicity!!
