SnB:HH Fat Bottom Bag CAL

[loremor]

Oh I LOVE it!! Great job.

I've made several of these and they are so easy. Can I ask how you made a bigger one? Did you use a double strand or make the starting chain longer?

All I've ever used is Caron one pounds and a bigger hook. And I follow the pattern.

I myself prefer crocheted handles. I like making them so I can use them on my shoulder but I make them short enough to be able to just carry it too. I make mine using the "I Cord" I think that is what it is called. Sort of a tubular cord. I make them a little shorter because of stretching. Next time I make one tho I will also use a 10 or 3 thread along with it to help keep it from stretching as much.

I'm hoping to find some I cord...I'd like to use it for the same reason, to prevent the stretching.

Loremor, I crochet the I Cord. It is easy just takes a while as slow as I am at crocheting.

Instead of four stitches tho I do six.

I am still working on mine...using 2 strands of sport-weight and a slightly larger hook. It is coming along nicely, I will post a pic when I am done.

Nope, not hard at all. In fact, it's super easy. This blog provides instructions for lining the bag.

OK, I've bought Peaches & Cream Double WW to try my hand at this bag. I got as far as where you have to add stitch markers. I don't have any, & not sure how to use them. Will pick it back up when I get the stitch markers. Have to move at the end of August; don't want to get into anything that will side track me from packing (yuck). I hope the Dbl WW works out well, I bought 3 diff cones, hoping to make 3 Christmas presents.

You can also use spare scraps of yarn or safety pins.
