I am looking to design a bag that is attractive, but not as fussy as many of my other designs. This is my first attempt, and I think it shows promise. I have to add braiding to my skill set, and getting up to speed on that took some doing. Here is the blog post with more photos.

I made this poncho for the granddaughter of a friend from high school. Here is a link to a blog post about this crochet adventure.

It took me about 16 months to finish this project, just in time for my daughter's birthday. It's big enough to cover a queen size bed. I used about 10 skeins of Hobby Lobby, I Love This Yarn, Over dyed. The afghan is all done in single crochet.

Pattern Information Pattern Description: A quick project to use small amounts of yarn that will jazz up any outfit. You can use the same color throughout, but two coordinating colors show the details of the X the best Pattern Style (written, symbol chart, etc.): written Pattern Photo (optional): Completed bangle included in pattern Skill Level: easy to intermediate. Pattern tester needs to be familiar with front post stitches and double treble crochet Yarn/Material/Tools Required (specify which will supplied by designer and which by tester): small amount of worsted weight yarn. I would recommend using a stiffer yarn, if cotton is not being used. Soft acrylic is sufficient for testing, but it may fuzz and pill when wearing. Size j/10 hook or size needed to obtain completed size.

These three colours were laying next to each other in my nest of yarns, and they looked so pretty together that of course I just HAD to crochet something! Hope you all enjoy this pattern! Find Free Pattern HERE!
