This is the granny square bag I made for the birthday of a little girl ,classmate of my daughter. If you want to make one just follow the simple instructions.
First you make a couple of granny squares depending on the size you want the bag to be. I used 8 big ones.
Fold in almost 1/3 of the length to get the aquired shape of a little basic bag and start stiching to secure in place.
Choose a couple of lovely buttons. I used the buttons of an old cardigan.
Pick 3 more granny squares....
Fold in half and stich
Then place next to each other and stich to form a basic handle
Ta - da a couples of hours later the little bag is ready to be gifted.
P.S I didn't have much time to line it but you can do it and to be honest it's the right thing to do.
I really must get my crochet hook out one of these days, and break into my stash of yarn, because seeing how productive you are is making me feel like I should be doing the same. :) Very cute!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! And it looks simple - thanks for the ideas, Angie : >
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift! You are doing really well with the crochet, i am very impressed.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I took up crochet fairly recently because I was looking for a simple necklace, also for a birthday gift for a little girl. Now I'm obsessed with crocheted accessories!
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet! I think I'd make a cloth bag to line it with so her treasured items didn't slip through.
