Camelia Purse

This pattern is available for €6.00 EUR buy it now

A fun little bag to crochet, and sure to grab anybody’s attention ! Very practical and sturdy, perfect for everyday use.

Bag is made seamlessly, with the join as you go technique: first we’ll make those bold flower granny-squares (no seaming), then join them and work the sides and bottom of bag. Finally, we’ll add a top edging for structure. The only seaming you’ll need for this project is a few stitches around each end of handle to attach them to the bag: I hate seaming too :-D

You will need 2 skeins of each color of Wool of the Andes, or any other worsted weight yarn.

Pattern also explains how to add the optional lining.

Gauge is not crucial, but can be checked by the size of your Camelia square.
