Artist Satchel

  This pattern is super easy, however, I don't know if I am loving the colors!  I am black and white type of person, sometimes I like a pop of color...with back and white!  But you could make this bag with any color combo or even all one color.  I love the idea of the fringes on the bag.  To make the fringes hang straight, I use my hair straightener on them!  It really works.  As long as your yarn isn't plastic! Materials: Approx 200g of a variety of colours of yarn. A 5.5mm crochet hook, darning needle. Measurements: 13” wide, 11” deep, 3.5” flap approx. Get the Free Pattern!

Garden Candle Holder

Neat way to decorate outdoors this summer! Materials 1 Wide mouthed glass jar. Make sure that this has a slight lip to allow the crochet to be secured onto the jar safely (for instance the threads of a screw top) 1 Ball string – amount depends on the size of the jar, however a 2 oz ball will be plenty. Use natural string, not nylon to avoid it melting. 1 Candle – a tea light, column candle or other small candle. Make sure that the candle does not touch the sides of the jar. Equipment Crochet Hook – 6 – 7mm (approximately US J/K/L ). The size of hook doesn’t really matter, as long as it is the right sort of size for the thickness of the string used.   Get the Free Pattern!
