The “ Musa Collection “

This model was born in my mind a year ago in July. At the time I didn’t know yet that I would start creating patterns for mosaic crochet, and as I am a fiery water drinker, I decided to make myself a water bottle carrier. I go out every day to walk with my 5 year old and it is essential to have my hands free and to drink :)), so my first watter bottle carrier idea was born. The base of what I did then was almost the same as this, the mosaic part was one of Tinna’s patterns.

The Musa collection includes:

• 5 different pdfs.
• ntroduction to mosaic crochet.
• written instructions to create the base and upper part of the carrier.
• written instructions to make the mosaic crochet pattern.
• support links to make the back post stitch, the crab stitch and the strap.
• diagram with X.
• instruction on how to attach the handle to the carrier
