I used a J hook for these
I really wanted to do some granny squares, but really didn't feel like making a blanket, so I made a couple of bags, I like the larger one to use for beach stuff etc....These could be very easily lined with fabric to make a nice bag to hole some of the smaller stuff too.
These are just a few basic granny squares turned on their sides. For the blue and brown bag I used three squares done in 8 rounds. Bottom square foled in half, I pieced together by folding two more in half and attaching two sides making them look like triangles... It's easy to see in the pictures if you need help leave me a comment. I didn't make the strap very long as there is a big gap in this one.
I made straps by making a long chain for what I wanted for length, hdc around both sides and then sc around for the second rnd.
For the Green and yellow bag I used four (only 6 rounds on this one) squares and attached as the larger bag and the fourth one I filled in the triangle in the back and used as a flap. I added two more rows to the top side for it to come down over the front of the bag and attached a button to fit through one of the corners. Would love to see any pictures if you make one or two or more! :o) Happy hooking.
I love that green and yellow one! You are so creative!
ReplyDeleteI love the flap on the green/yellow one and you know my favorite colors are blue and brown. You are so creative. Nice job.

Here is a site for the basic granny square.

After I was finished with them I pieced them together and sewed up the sides, matching corners at the opening of the bag and and on the sides I matched a corner to the folded part of the bottom square. Hope this helps a little.
Adorei! Linda!
ReplyDeleteParabéns!

A good idea.
ReplyDeleteI really like this - simple for me to make, and cute to boot - it's a win win! lol
ReplyDeleteHow did you attach the strap - with buttons? Or crocheted into the bag? (The blue & brown - helps if you know which one I am talking about, huh?)
This is Fabulous! I have some squares that I was wondering what to do with and now I know. I'll make a Bag out of them :)

This is my second only project - thanks for the idea! http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/001/a/6/a661464a99bab0a78a6e04028003c805-d4kzwtn.jpg
ReplyDeleteI'm new to crocheting. I just made one of these bags. It's my favorite project that I've completed so far. Thanks for the great idea. I used a slip stitch to connect my squares which gives the seams a pronounced appearance. I noticed your bags have flat seams. What stitch did you use to seam your squares together?
ReplyDeleteThis pattern is beautiful. I was curious...if it's alright with you. I plan on making a few and selling them in my shop. The straps and a few details will change but I still wanted to ask if it's alright to sell them. I would give you complete cred for the pattern and link it to the original link I found on ravelry. Thanks in advance. =)
ReplyDeleteI made one similar to your green and yellow one, only I cannot suss out how to attach the straps! Is it possible to post a little tutorial or something? That would be fantastic! Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteI have made three of your projects, the Granny Square bag, the Megan wants you cap and the butterfly cap. I love your patterns they always turn out exactly as pictured and are flawless. I love that you use Red heart yarn as I am a Walmart shopper!
ReplyDeleteOMGawsh... how BEAUTIFUL are these?!!! LOVE both of them in these exact colors :) We're heading to the beach for a week vacation in August and I'd love to make my daughters and I some of these. I wonder though if we could line them or maybe put plastic sacks in them for collecting shells :) But umm.... I have to find a pattern for the Granny Squares now. Thank goodness for Google :) Do you happen to have one on here??
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool, I love the retro hippy look! I've just made the first 2 granny squares, 2 more to go then I can assemble my lovely bag! thank you for sharing this whizzo pattern!
