The geometric colorwork pattern makes the Andes Sunrise Bag from DROPS truly appealing! If you’re a real fan of vibrant summer styles and would like to try your hand at the taptesty crochet, this project is for you. The bag has a bucket shape and features thick braided straps for functional use. It will fit not only your essentials like phone or wallet, but also some extra stuff, which makes it a great companion during beach trips, picnics, and festivals.
Which Hook Size Is Required for This Pattern?
A 3.5 mm crochet hook will help you create a dense and durable fabric when working up this crochet tapestry bag with medium-weight yarn. However, you may need to adjust your hook if you want to achieve the same gauge. Use a bigger hook if your tension is too tight or go for a smaller one if your tension is too loose.
How Much Yarn Do You Need For Each Color In The Nordic Pattern?
To create the multicolored Nordic-style design, you will need aran weight yarn, such as Garnstudio DROPS Paris, in 4 different shades. The amount of yarn required for each color goes as follows: 150 g of light pink, 100 g of white and yellow, and 50 g of dark pink/purple. Feel free to play around with various colors to make sure that your bag reflects your style.
How Do You Crochet the Andes Sunrise Bag?
The bag is worked from the bottom up, starting from the base, then building the walls, and finally finishing with braided handles. The pattern provides both written directions and tapestry colorwork graphs with the exact color placement. The bag is worked in rounds using just double crochet stitches, and there is no sewing required.
