I was challenged by our team here at The Crochet Crowd to create a bag using only 2 balls of Bernat Maker Home Dec Yarn. Mikey had just completed his Jester’s Bag of Entrelac Tricks. I thought a bit for something different, but was so inspired by his fun design, decided to just put my own spin on it.

I thought, I’ll just do basically the same bag with square squares instead of the diamond squares of the Entrelac. I had never tried the tapestry technique of carrying the yarn, but it really wasn’t too tough. I love the way the opposite color peeks thru the design.

The bag is nice a roomy for beach towels or even a project bag. This holds 2 Caron One Pound skeins or 3 Bernat Super Value balls and still have room for a project. The sling strap makes it very comfortable to tote around.
