Shared Pattern #5 : Kitty Bag

I know its a long gap between my pattern shares. I was super busy with my other works. So sincerely apologize. But I'm very happy it took this long. I came across this beautiful pattern. It has both the concept of graphgan and a becomes a useful bag. This is a great beginning for starters who wants to try hands on crochet graphghan. Small projects like these will initiate more to work on graphghans for beginners. I hope you will love working on this.

Shared Pattern # 4 : Minion Pencil Case


I love recycle crafting. The satisfaction of recycling something and the end product is as cute as this is unexplainable.
 It is such a joy to cherish. I have done similar recycling craft before, but I loved this minion pencil case by Petals to Picots.

A similar work that I have done before

Shared Pattern #3 : Vintage Beach Crochet Bag

For today's pattern share I chose this beautiful Vintage Beach Crochet Bag by Anoo's Crochet World.


I came across this bag sometime early last year. The instructions were so clear and I loved the fact it had a proper lining which helps the bag from being loose and sloppy. I wanted to recreate the same, but as days went on my idea of doing this bag changed. I came up with a hooty bag. You can try your own creation by following the blog.


And what a coincidence, today Moogly has shared this beautiful website which clearly instructs on how to line a crocheted bag.

Shared Pattern #2 : Storage Basket

For today's share, I chose these beautiful  Easter storage baskets by My Hobby is Crochet.  These baskets were for Easter but I'm sure they can be used through out the year.  They have very clearly written instructions and I am going to try one for sure :)
My hobby is Crochet also has various other free patterns which I'm sure you will enjoy Crocheting.
