Heakelbeutel Bag (BIG bag)

[Debbi-a1]

From the Haekelbeutel (Crochet Bag) CAL, Anyone??? I made this bag

[clickable]

 

I used Peaches and Cream cotton yarn. Color: Black Cherry.

My squares were big so it ended up big. I used an G hook and crochet loose so my squares were 6".

The bag is 16" wide and 22" long (from point to bottom, not counting handles).

I only chained about 45 for the handes as I didn't want long ones.

I didn't understand the pattern, aparently there's an error in it (found out after I started, it's in the CAL in message 79) so I decided to do the basic solid granny square for mine.

I didn't line it. I'm going to use it as a WIP bag for things like baby afghans and shawls.

I really like what you did with the pattern and the colors are very pretty! I think I like yours better than the original pattern! If I were to do one, I would do it like yours!!

Nice bag! I love seeing what everyone is using to make these.

I check out the CAL regularly. I haven't joined yet, but keep thinking about it, just can't decide which yarn from my stash to use .

oh that is pretty! I check out that cal too. I asked the other day if you could use any square pattern to make one! NOW I know you can! Great job!

That is very pretty! I made one that is so huge I figure it is perfect for a beach bag if I get to take my kids to the beach this summer.
