Currently in planning are the following patterns:

1. Bloom Triangular Shawl.
2. Bloom Beanie and Cowl

Apart from the beautiful bobbles in this p=bag, I admire the fact that it is so rooming!. Just perfect for keeping your wips and you can thread in your yarn through the holes to keep them from tangling. Another beautiful thing about this bag is the handle. I have always dreamt of adding braided handles to my bag and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Do you know you can also customize the length of the handles?

Frequently asked questions about this pattern -Bloom crochet bag pattern.

1. Can I substitute any other type of yarn with the same weight? YES, I have only used Lion Brand yarn as that is the yarn available to me. You are welcome to use any other brand of yarn at your disposal. You can totally go stash busting when making this crochet bag.
2. Can I use another weight of yarn? It is not advisable to use another weight of yarn as this easy bag pattern measurements, was based on #3 Double Knit (DK) weight yarn and also tested using similar weight. However, for the experienced crocheters, you might want to measure as you crochet. Do bear in mind that if you use any other weight of yarn, you might need to adjust your starting chains and the number of repeats. Please, do use similar weight of yarn when making your bag (main color and contrasting colors) should be of similar weight in order to have a beautiful finished bag.
3. I have never made a crochet bag before, how easy is this pattern? This pattern is graded as an intermediate level in terms of the stitches used and where they are placed. I would recommend that a beginner who is yet to make many items and is not patient to learn should not start with this bag so as not to get frustrated. It is however, an easy to follow pattern with repeats of basic rounds. I am confident you can make yours also. I have also provided information on how to make your own version with a video tutorial showing how to make the bobbles.
4. Can I use more colors than suggested in the pattern? Sure, you are welcome to make your own versions of this top in colors of your choice. No matter the the color(s) you decide on using, this top would come out so beautiful.
5. How long does it take to crochet this? In as much as we all crochet at different speed, I would suggest to budget between 1-2 weeks. The time it would take you to complete your bag depends on so many things like – the size you are making, the speed at which you crochet, the amount of time at your disposal.
