You know crochet is such a practical craft for summer. You can make so many pretty things in cotton and depending on the density of the stitch it is really robust for hard-wearing accessories. In the last few weeks I have created a number of patterns for a local yarn store, Blacksheep wools. The latest free pattern has just gone live on their website and it is a little pouch bag, brilliant for summer evenings out on the town or indeed promenading along the seafront.
I aimed to make this bag really handy for a passport, a card, some keys and a lipstick.
Choose your own colour combination that goes with your holiday wardrobe. My suggestion is to make the i-cord strap the right size for you. I really like a long strap which I wear across the body, but it would be just as good with a really short strap just looped to one side which you could wear around your wrist.
This pattern is the final free pattern which I have designed exclusively for Blacksheep wools. You can find the pattern here and I have used Sirdar Cotton DK which comes in a range of beautiful colours. If you make your own version of these free patterns do send me a photo across on my new Facebook page here – I would love to share it.
