Crocodile Flower Shoulder Bag
Tapestry Crochet, surface crochet, and a chain-loop version of the popular Crocodile Stitch are used to create this unique motif, and whether you see it as a flower, a multi-point star, or a mandala, this motif is a whole lot of fun. It can be exuberantly colorful or elegantly monochromatic. Make one in poinsettia colors for the holiday season, a sunflower themed bag for Summer, one in Autumn colors for Halloween, and stash bust for a wild Springtime version. Add the easy optional lining to ensure that nothing falls through the small holes in the fabric and customize the length of the crocodile scale strap to make your own one-of-a-kind accessory.
This is the first in a series of designs inspired by The Crocodile Flower afghan block.
The testers have rated this pattern Intermediate to Advanced, due to the surface crochet used to create the petals and leaves, however, the instructions are quite detailed. The body of the bag is written, there are both written and charted instructions for the strap, and the tapestry section is charted.
The bag measures approximately 9 inches across and 3 inches deep, the strap is 40 inches long.
