Make a vibrant crochet drawstring bag that bursts with color! Priscilla Bradburn designed an intricate, multicolored pattern, making it a must-have accessory for hippies. Feel free to customize the colors and their placement to create your own personalized bag. You have to admit, though, that the original version really nails it!
What Yarn Do You Need For The Birds Drawstring Bag?
To create such a colorful design, you will need sport-weight yarn in multiple colors. A fantastic choice for this project is Scheepjes Catona, a 100% cotton yarn that offers a durable finish. The designer used 13 colors in total – 3 balls of yarn in the black shade and 1 ball of each of the other colors.
The pattern calls for a 2 mm crochet hook, so you can work up every detail and create a densely stitched fabric.
What Stitch Is Used To Create This Crochet Drawstring Bag?
If you thought that this crochet bag uses some intricate stitching, you are wrong! The pattern incorporates just single crochets worked through the back loops only in spiral rounds.
However, it might be a demanding project for beginners because it relies on tapestry crochet. It’s a colorwork technique that requires you to work with several yarn colors at the same time, which is why it’s recommended for intermediate crocheters.
What Are The Finished Dimensions Of The Bag?
The finished crochet drawstring bucket bag measures 30 cm in height and has a 21 cm diameter. It’s a practical accessory that you can take with you on a hiking trip, to the beach, or to a festival. It will fit all your necessary belongings while still leaving some space for snacks and drinks.
