Crocheted Bags, Purses, and Cases: 35 Projects to Make: Crochet Your Own Colorful and Unique Accessories - Paperback

by Emma Friedlander-Collins (Author)

Crochet 35 COLORFUL and CREATIVE designs for shoppers, clutch bags, purses, and more.

Featuring stunning yarns, the patterns introduce you to techniques including GRANNY SQUARES, 3D FLOWERS, and TAPESTRY CROCHET which creates blocks of color.

USE UP YARN FROM YOUR STASH--many designs use only a small amount of each color.

You'll find patterns for tote bags and holdalls, including a Spring Shopper with neon-bright trim and a Kit Bag in green and khaki--ideal for camping and festivals, or just for when you've got a lot to carry.

There are bags and purses for carrying around your essentials, such as a Blue Block Bag made in tapestry crochet, a Foraging Basket, and a cute Strawberry Coin Purse.

To complete your collection, there are handy cases and covers such as a Zigzag Glasses Case, a Geometric Pencil Case, and an E-Reader Cover.

With a techniques section covering all the stitches as well as tapestry crochet, plus instructions on how to add linings, you'll be able to make accessories that are both beautiful and useful.
