Tote bags are nice, but what about crocheting your own luggage? The Bubble Duffel Bag is a stylish way to carry whatever you need!

This zippered bag uses a modified Catherine Wheel stitch to make the bubbly fabric with minimal gaps. It’s very roomy too - great for a long weekend getaway or a large WIP.

The idea came about because my daughter went to a sleepover, and her choice of luggage was a suitcase or her school backpack. We needed something in between. It’s the perfect size for a short trip, or to carry a large crochet project.
