This pattern is from www.lionbrand.com and it is the Greenmarket Lunch Bag. I crocheted it in about 2 evenings. It was really easy. The bag is done in a round which makes it go very quickly. The directions at their site say to use 2 balls and change colors, but I used a multi-color yarn so it only took one ball of Red Heart I found at Wal-Mart for $2. DD loves it! It is Awana colors and now she has something to carry her book and Bible in. I am considering doing a second one since I picked up 2 balls of yarn. I wasn’t sure how much yarn it would take so I bought extra.
If you are thinking about teaching your daughter to crochet, or looking for an easy project for beginners, this pattern is it. I made one modification to the pattern: it says to make 2 handles and join them, but I made one handle and slipstitched it to the other side.
I think Lion Brand has great yarn and great patterns on their website. I download lots of patterns and keep them in a file on my computer. I also get their emails. They have an email called BK4K and it has projects that kids can do. Last week was really neat bookmarks.
If you are interested in teaching your children to crochet or knit, there are lots of books at the library on the subject. There are also videos and “Learn to Crochet” sets at the craft stores. You can use a 40% off coupon to buy one of these sets and you’re off! Our library actually had a crochet and knitting class that was pretty cool.
