Crochet summer bag

Summer is a season of bright colors and original solutions for creating unusual images. And the appearance depends not only on the outfit, but also on the use of extraordinary accessories. And what can be more unique than a thing created by your own hands. A crocheted summer bag can become such an accessory.

We will tell you how to crochet a summer bag with your own hands.

Knitting materials and tools

For a successful and beautiful end result, you need to properly prepare for the upcoming lesson. To do this, you have to perform several actions.

  • Decide on a model.
  • Purchase material.
  • Choose the right tool.
  • Optionally choose the appropriate decor.

For craftswomen who are just starting their career, it is preferable to choose simple options . Otherwise, you should carefully monitor all stages of the process.

Yarn for the summer model, choose a light, but sufficient density .

It is easiest to knit with cotton thread (250 m / 100 g). You can also use viscose with the same parameters. This fiber is even preferable, since products made of it are less dirty and wash better. In extreme cases, you can take acrylic yarn of sufficient thickness. Typically, manufacturers produce these options in a wide color palette. Moreover, the assortment is dominated by bright and rich colors.

Tool selection can be done according to the information on the skein label . Manufacturers usually indicate recommended sizes. But if such information is missing or seems unreliable to you, there is another proven way. Fold the thread in half and compare with the thickness of the hook head. These indicators should be the same.

ATTENTION! Be sure to wipe the tool with a soft cloth before use.

This will save you from the invisible plaque, which eventually forms on it and interferes with the advancement of the thread, and can also stain the fiber.
