Well lets say its sort of like the Sarahbells bag. The one on SarahSweetHearts.blogspot.com doesn't have a handle just a button for the closure. I was pondering the idea of just adding a wooden handle to it but decided just to add a crocheted handle to the bag. This bag in perfect for some of my smaller crocheting projects. It beats caring around a ugly Walmart bag!
All I did was add six single crochet rows above the two dbl crocheted rows. I chained twelve and skipped fourteen singles crochets for the openings on both sides. You could make them large or small don't think the size really matter just what ever you want for your bag. So far it is prefect!! but will have to make one larger so I can carry more yarn in it when I'm working on a larger crochet project.
Right now I'm starting on a bag designed by Cindy Adams called Windmill Bag,I found the pattern in Crochet! September 2010. It is four rectangular strips joined in a pinwheel pattern and conected to together with a single crochet. The bag the she has designed is really pretty, has bright colors. She used a medium worsted weight wool/silk yarn and medium worsted weight wool yarn. But again I'm being different I'm using something that I can throw in the washer if I want or need to. Plus I not all that keen on bright colors for me. So I'm using Sugar'n Cream Naturals, Sonoma print. It is a 4 ply cotton yarn. I really like working with this yarn.
