Crochet Fat Bottom Bags, Part 2
In my last post, I discussed Fat Bottom Bags. You can read that post here. The body of the bag is usually one large granny square (about 18” square) with a few rows of single crochet on the two sides and top edges and round bamboo handles. This is an easy bag to crochet and the perfect bag for using up scraps of yarn – the different color scraps look fantastic together. Using a handle other than a round bamboo handle really gives the bag a different look as well. I have seen fat bottom bags crocheted in a rectangular shape. These bags are wider and not as deep and…

Beginners Festive Dishcloth – a easy pattern for beginners with no abbreviations
Today’s pattern is the Beginners Festive Dishcloth. Today is June 1 and before we know it the holiday season will be here. So I’m starting early on some “Festive” crocheted items.

Welcome to Crochet Bags & More
My name is Kathy and welcome to Crochet Bags & More offering modern and classic designs. I’m here to share crocheting ideas and patterns with you. I’ve been crocheting forever – my grandmother and mother both crocheted so I naturally followed them. Over the years I have tried knitting, but found crocheting offered more creativity and less angst. When I am not crocheting, I’m reading, making greeting cards, sewing and trying new craft projects. With the recent pandemic keeping me at home, I’ve done a LOT of crocheting. One day while making a tote bag I realized I seemed to always change the pattern or I would combine two or…
