Create a Festive Gift Bag
This crochet Christmas gift bag is worked in continuous rounds as a tube, with no tricky seaming involved. The pattern uses single crochet and double crochet stitches, which makes it perfect for beginners willing to learn a new technique.
Mosaic crochet is all about working with contrasting colors, so feel free to experiment with your favorite colorways. The original design features yarn in blue and white shades, creating a cool wintery look.
Tools for Your Crochet Pouch
You will need two colors in Scheepjes Catona, which is a fingering cotton yarn suitable for creating small and sturdy crochet items. The blue background needs approximately 70 meters, while only 43 meters are required for the white detailing, so you will just need one 50-gram ball of each color.
Work your Mini Mosaic Christmas Gift Bag with a 2.5 mm crochet hook to achieve the recommended size, which should be approximately 6 ½” x 4 ¼” (16.5 cm x 11 cm ).
Guide to Mosaic Crochet
Carol A. Scott provides written directions and a chart to guide you through the pattern. The gift bag is worked in the round, so the mosaic effect will be smooth and consistent as you work. She also provides video tutorials that walk you through the basics of executing color changes.
