A wool bag and a pompom hat – two of the key winter symbols combined in a cute and fun accessory!

Zimna is an easy firm and thick handbag, worked in the round from the base up. It is worked in almost all over single crochet stitch, which makes it an easy and mindless project for most crocheters – several rounds of back loop only sc and a few accent bobbles add some texture, but still it is a fast and beginner friendly project.

Hat with a pompom applique is a fun and cute accent to this otherwise simple and elegant bag.

Pattern calls for Worsted or Aran weight yarn, but DK weight yarns are suitable too, creating a little smaller bags.
