What Yarn and Hook Should I Use for Maya Purse?
If your stash is full of unused yarn scraps, this crochet tapestry bag project is a great way to put them to good use! The pattern calls for sport-weight yarn and a 4 mm crochet hook. Feel free to use as many colors as you like to create a truly outstanding design.
What Technique Does the Maya Purse Pattern Require?
For this pattern, you should be familiar with tapestry crochet. It’s a great technique that involves changing yarn colors to obtain a beautiful multicolored effect. The designer provides both written instructions and the color graph, and the bag is crocheted using primarily single crochet stitches.
How Do I Work the Bag Strap?
The original Maya Purse features a long strap so you can wear it comfortably over your shoulder. You work it by chaining 260 stitches and then single crocheting for 5 rows. You can also easily adjust the strap by changing the number of worked chains or rows, making it shorter, longer, wider, narrower – however you like it!
