Isn’t it every woman’s tragedy - our favourite handbag just doesn’t match all of our outfits? Guess what? You won’t ever have this problem again, with the Chameleon Bag. As its name suggests, it is extremely versatile, and can be adapted to any outfit in a few seconds. How? - Just change the square attached to its front and back: pull the buttons sewn to the bag through corners of your square and… that’s it! Or, for a more discrete look, use your bag without any squares on.

This easy to follow pattern provides full written instructions (US standard crochet terms), and includes many pictures illustrating the trickier parts. A print-friendly version is also available for download. The instructions include directions for adding a liner and 2 zipped pockets to your bag. However, if you don’t want to sew, it also provides an option to make crochet pockets.

You will get:

• Full written pattern for the bag itself, including lining instructions, and several step by step pictures

• Full written pattern for the Spring in Paris square (attached to the bag in pictures), with several step by step pictures

• Full written pattern for one additional square from the Chameleon Bag Palette. With my ongoing promotion, you just need to put any of my squares in your cart, at the same time as the Chameleon Bag, no code needed! The discount will show at checkout
