Black shoulder-bag with blue flower

[Ladycrochat]

OHHHH! So pretty, the colors are stunning together!

Cuddlefish, you should write down your patterns and sell them! You always create wonderful items; I know many of your friends here at the 'ville would buy them if you ever decide to write down and sell your patterns.

 

 

I agree with Nicole, if you could right this down it could make a lot of money for you!

Awesome bag!

[kellyv]

Very nice! The flower is really cool. And I love the buttons.

[Rena Tyrantina]

The purse is lovely!

And the flower is so wonderful! I can imagine a scarf embellished with several of those. I'd certainly be willing to buy a pattern for it!

[Cuddlefish]

You're all so nice, thank you for the compliments.

 

I'm afraid I have no idea how to write it down, I couldn't do it without taking it apart and doing it all over again.

 

But putting all patterns aside and trying to crochet something from a picture is a really fun exercise. There's only slip stitches, sc's, hdc's, and dc's in the flower, so it's not complicated to crochet. The stem is done holding the thread on the backside of the fabric, and pulling the loops up through it.

 

The flower has a bit of 3D effect, because I crocheted some extra rows on top of the finished flower, to give a better impression of petals. That's the white and black 'circles'.

 

I hope you can use those minimal directions for something.

That is really pretty! I love the flower.

 

The strap on my Space Invader tote is also really stretchy and I was wondering what to do about it. I hadn't considered lining it. Great tip.

[TamKing]

I love it!! You did a beautiful job on the bag and the flower! Nice colors!

[Appliejuice]

I love that purse. The flower and the blue buttons really make the purse.

 

The three buttons on the back; do they close the inside pocket? Too cute. I also like how you put the blue buttons on the outside strap.

[Cuddlefish]

Thank you.

 

Yep, the three buttons close the pocket.

[Empress Busy Bee]

Cute purse. Love the flower it's just gorgeous. Good job on interpreting it from the frabric.

[Miss USA]

That is GORGEOUS! I love that shade of blue, and the buttons tie the flower in perfectly!!!!
