Tips and explanations

The bottom of the bag consists of 6 petals. Do you want to make it bigger you can add a flower petal, but keep then in mind that more yarn is used.

During the first 12 rows you will skip all the chain spaces, with the exception of row 8, where it says you should work around the chain. This will be the beginning of a new petal.

From row 13 and forward are you supposed to crochet around the chain space on every row, except when it says ”skip next chain space”.

When you are crocheting a slip stitch in another slip stitch it´s usually easier to work it around the first stitch instead of through it. But of course you choose what suits you best.

And now to the funniest part, use it.

For exampel

• Arrange a food bag, go for a walk and find a park where you can settle down fore a lovely meal.
• Put down a towel, swimwear and a pocket book. Ready for the beach.
• Look for yarn for the next project, put it in the bag and tell them at home that you´re going for a power walk. Look up an undisclosed place, settle down and put the hook in the yarn.
