I wanted to try it a bit more narrow since that's a pretty big bag (though useful for the right things). As I worked along on the second one, I mentioned making only one strap. Hubby liked the idea of it going along the entire edge to the bottom. I think I like how it turned out. It adds some structure to it. This one is about 15 1/2" wide.
Both were made with worsted weight cotton and a Size G hook.
The last thing I'd like to do with it is chain a little loop and add a button at the top of the narrow bag to keep it closed. Or I'll just add a large flower on the side. It sounds like a fun addition.
Don't you love how the variegated yarn lined up? It's different on each of them, but I love it on both!
Awesome!!

Loving these. Last year for Christmas I made my nieces bags and my sister-in-law stole my nieces. I think I might make one like this for my s-i-l this year.
ReplyDeleteDid you line the bags? Just wondering..I like your color combo..nice..very nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Mindy..your bags are terrific, i love the one on the right with the separate handles.
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joanne
they both are very pretty
ReplyDeleteThe strap-as-structure idea is great! That variegated yarn looks a wonder- at first it even looked planned! I think a big, bright button would look fab :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow...awesome. I like the size of the big one. Love the variegated yarn. Your pattern and color scheme is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteMindy, this is so cute!! The colors are fabulous. I like them both, and I see how the straps on the sides would make it more stable or have more substance.
