“ When the first baby laughed for the first time, its laugh broke into a thousand pieces, and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies.” - J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan

This unique and darling bucket style handbag, crocheted from base up in rounds using the lovely textured Alpine Stitch (with a twist to the technique), colour changes to capture a sunset on a summers evening and stunning appliqués will be a head turner wherever you go. A beautiful gift for any fairy friend.

The bag is 6.5’’ (17cm) tall without handles and the base has a diameter of 7.5” (19cm)

Gauge - I would absolutely advise you make a swatch to check your tension, as you want a nice stury bag that can hold its shape:
I’m a tight crocheter - working chunky yarn with 5mm hook 10 rows x 10 sc (dc in UK) will give you a 2.5” square
And working the DK with a 2.5mm hook for 10 rows x 10 sc (dc in UK) gives you a 1.5” square

In the pictures I have added a screen shot of yarns and other materials I have used.
Colour A I used just shy of 1 ball, ALL other BAG colours use less than 1/3 of a ball each.

I hope you have as much joy creating this lovely bag as I have :)
