The first time I saw the crocodile stitch I fell in love. It is lovely when used in an afghan or scarf, but I thought, “Why not add a little bling?” Sparkly yarn and shiny beads give this quick project all the glamour you’ll need for a night on the town.

This lovely little bag is a perfect project for learning the popular crocodile stitch and an easy introduction to crocheting with beads. Available in both US and UK terminology, the pattern also includes a detailed chart.
