The Yin Yang Bag was born from the appearance of summer. It is the perfect handbag/shoulder bag for every and all errands -- to the grocery store, the market, brunch, a date, the post office, the park… literally everywhere. It’s even roomy enough to fit a sandwich, some strawberries, and a bag of Cheetos… if you somehow forget where your lunch bag is. ♡

Level of difficulty: Beginner to advanced beginner. It is possible for a complete beginner to read this pattern. However, it is recommended that you first go on YouTube and familiarize yourself with basic crochet terminology before making this vest.

Materials:

• Worsted/medium (size 4) weight yarn. For reference, I used Lily Sugar ‘n Cream yarn in the colors hot green and soft ecru for the handbag & black and soft ecru for the shoulder bag. I used approx. 2 balls for Color A (yin) & 1.5 balls for Color B (yang).
• 4mm crochet hook (or any hook that meets the gauge with your tension; gauge is provided within the pattern)
• Measuring tool (e.g., ruler, tape measurer)
• Scissors & yarn needle

It is only fair that credit goes where credit is due. This is not gatekeeping. It is respecting and recognizing the work a creative has put into creating a pattern. Because you have bought this pattern does not make it yours nor does it mean you should treat the design as if it is yours.
