Carriage Bag from 1858
This pattern was featured in Peterson’s 1858, as a carriage bag. It is worked in double crochet, parts of the pattern are worked in the back loop to create a ridged appearance.
The bag is lined. Historically, it would have been given a foundation at the Berlin House. But, I don’t have one of those nearby, so I used a few dowel rods to provide structure.
I got the handle pattern from looking at other period patterns. I did end up using some cotton yarn on the handle, just because it had less stretch than wool.
Both the period pattern and my instructions are available on the link!
Happy Crocheting
