Bags, bags and more bags

I can never get enough of bags. Here are some that I have sewn and knitted. I found the pattern for the skull bag in One Yard Wonders.

This pattern can be found here

It was my first time crocheting the Afghan stitch so it came out really sloppy. In order to fix the ugliness, I crocheted a border around the strap, which turned out very nice. I’m still not sure how to properly crochet the afghan stitch, but I’ll keep practicing.

I ended up using 1. 25 skeins of green. The green yarn did not match exactly because I bought them at two different yarn stores.

The bag was fun to make and the directions were very easy to follow. The yarn lends itself nicely to this pattern. It does stretch a lot and it ends up looking like a giant sock, but it serves its purpose: Reduce the carbon footprint!
