The granny bag has a neat, sturdy ribbed collar and handles, which will not stretch with normal use. The lining is worked into the bag without sewing through the crochet fabric. The bags very generous size makes it great for toting around personals (purse, phone, make-up etc), as well as a small knitting or crochet project. It also makes a super project bag as it can take quite a few balls of yarn with ease.

The pretty lacy edged scarf has a clever little design feature which makes it ideal for all neck sizes. It can be worn in a number of different ways: A twisty cowl, an infinity style; long triangle, kerchief, bib, shoulder wrap, etc - the possibilities are endless.

The pattern is written for DK Acrylic yarn, but works equally well with acrylic / wool blends as well as cottons and jute. A variegated yarn is a clever choice for the bag - providing a change of colour without having to sew in too many ends. This design is also a clever scrap / stash buster. Change colours every round to use up odds and ends of yarn!

Using under 500g for both projects, this collection is brilliant for all year round gifts or end of year makes
