Crochet round bag

Hi this a crochet bag my sister made with my help as she doesn't crochet as a hobby like me. She knew how to make this stitch but she didn't even know the name of the stitch. We unpicked a few times and we changed the handle as you can see. She also macrame a shoulder strap so she can use it as a shoulder bag. It was her first crochet project and we got inspired from youtube. It was fun to have her around to crochet with me. We used tshirt yarn to make this bag. You can see them down below.

Mochilla or Wayuu bag

I enjoy making these bags because you don't have to concentrate much in increasing stitches. I saw a lady making a bag with this design and I had to try it. I like the challenge and the success in finishing it. I make an extendable belt. It is also on sale in my etsy shop. I would have liked to make a grey one but the yarn was very light grey then what I had in mind. What I have learnt in making these bags are to make wider strap and smaller holes 

Crochet chalk bag

My beautiful niece had her birthday and she wouldn't except money so she asked me to make her a chalk bag. I didn't know what it was so she went and showed me her gym chalk bag. It was very small and I had a look not knowing if I could make her one. She told me roughly the size she wanted and how she wanted it to look like. I said ok to her but I hoped I will find something on you tube for a tutorial or pinterest. So when I got how I searched and searched I found one and saw this guy's tutorial many times till I understood how it was made. I went and bought all the materials so I can start making it. I unpicked and sewed and unpicked till I did it right when it was finished I gave it to her. She loved it so much that she didn't want to use it. lol Here is how it looked like

Wayuu crochet bag

I wanted to use some of my wool so I made this lovely bag. I made it slightly smaller and I think it could be very handy for anyone. This will be in my etsy shop @ amiguruminanna . I love the colours I used but I think I could have loved the yellow as a back ground. I made this pattern before I love geometric patterns. I made one each for my daughters but only my eldest daughter have used it and like it. So I asked it if she like any particular one and she told me she likes grey, black and white. Now she has to find a pattern she likes. These Wayuu, Mochilla bags are very simple to make. It takes me more then 12 hours to make plus the cords and stitches.

Crochet sleeping bag and new born pants

I  remember why I wanted to make this sleeping bag. I saw it on Facebook and I liked it. It was a free pattern but when I started the pattern I didn't think it was coming good. I had to make it as I knew how and kept going with the hood too. It would have been nice if I could have done that pattern but there was no video or anything. Anyway I had left over yarn so I gave the crochet pants a try. It was fairly easy and I was only left with a small peace of yarn. I saw a video on you tube how to make this pants in case any of you are interested. It is a new born size. Here are they for you to see.

Wayuu crochet bag

I am making all these bags to have variety in my shop. I love making them for now. I usually don' t like making the same thing for many times as I get bored making them. I find with crochet you can making so many fantastic stuff. I used to love sewing for as long as I remember but since I started to crochet again because I did few things in crochet before like blankets throw rugs that I can't let it go. I have been almost three years crocheting every single day and every time I have chance to. I made so many things that I didn't think I could do. It all started because I wanted to make a soft toy for my grandson. My love for sewing is gone I feel upset about that. Can you love two kinds of hobbies at once? I wonder. My artistic in me was spread on many painting, sewing, newspaper baskets,weaving crocheting, anything I saw I had to give it a go. Not anymore though crochet is the thing that I like to do now. I lost track about the bag I made this time I like the colours I chose for it. The pattern wasn' t that hard to do either. This is the right bag size not too big and not too small. Handy for mothers, teenagers anyone really. I found the pattern from pinterest love this site for inspirations and patterns. I know there is also bloglovin. Anyway you can see the bag I made.

Blue Wayuu bag

I like the result of a Wayuu bag. I have made a few of these now. I like to make them for my shop on etsy. This time I chose blue and white for a bit of difference. The stitches inside the back looks like that because I don't want anything to show from the front. I have made another one with similar pattern but this one is different. I like the combinations of colours I used for this bag. I am pleased with the result and I make everything with so much love that sometime it is hard for me to part from them. I say to myself then, that I can always make another one. I am also pleased that some people will chose to buy them. Since I sold one of these I wanted it to replace it so here it is.

Another Wayuu, Mochilla bag

I love making these bags there is not much sewing involved. It is the same colours as my other one but different pattern. These bags seems more complicated then they really are but the result is amazing. I made different cord and I am getting better at making tinsels. I also made the straps a little wider. I will try and sell this bag on etsy it is made as a bag pack so more useful. This pattern could be much simpler but I always wants to see how it turns out first the I can change it if I like. most likely I will make another different pattern. It gives me such satisfaction when I see it all done. Well here is my bag.

Handmade Crochet Wayuu bag

I told you that this is not my last handmade Wayuu bag, infect here is another bag. There is a little difference in this bag the way I worked every single crochet is the proper way is suppose to be done.Also it is a bag pack. I made it different for my kids though. You only have to concentrate on the back the rest is easy at least for me. This is made from a graph that I found on pinterest, my favourite web sight after facebook. I just love to see new things that people post and get some ideas from there. I wasn't aware but some Wayuu bases have different stitch numbers. This one everything went well. My favourite colours that I always seem to be attracted to are browns mustard orange light brown aren't they Mexican colours.
I know the colour black grey versions and white go well together too. I will be doing some with those colours. Here is my latest bag so far. Do you like it? I will be selling these on Etsy. Check out my Etsy store

Amigurumi,crochet Wayuu bag

I have three daughters and this bag I made for my third daughter. I tried to add black grey white and turquoise since they are fashion colours. I found an easy pattern graph to do. This bag came out on the big size I would say. I turned this bag into a backpack, it is still a wayuu style. It is suppose to be worked on the back loop only but I work on two loops of the stitch for strength. I would have like for the grey to be lighter grey but you can't always find the colours you wish. It turned out to be a nice bag it will come very handy for my daughter. I like making bags you don't have to concentrate about increasing stitches just work on the pattern. I like making toys but I also like making bags. I used to like sewing but crochet took over. You can almost see what I am working on now.

Crochet wayuu bag

I made this for my youngest daughter earlier on. I thought she would love the colours and the pattern. I found a free pattern with a free video but I changed it a little. I gave her this bag as a Christmas present with more presents. It seems complicated but it is not really, there is not much sewing like when you do amigurumi toys and I need a break from doing the same thing all the time. I need challenges sometimes and when I see something that I like I need to try it to see if I can do it. it doesn't really take much time to make this bag. It is called wayuu bag you can find many graphs that you like on pinterest.com. Anyway here is my bag, sorry I took just one badly picture of it but you can see it. It is very nice to give out as a gift and useful too. The first one I made came too small so I learnt from it and each one I made I learn something new like how many holes I need to make or how big I like it to be.

Crochet Wayuu bag

I can reveal what had been working on. I was making a wayuu bag for my eldest daughter for Christmas I wanted to finish it by Christmas and I managed to make it on time. I wish I could have found darker brown yarn with the colours I had but I didn't. I asked her that if she doesn't like it I would make her another with the colours she likes but she liked it. It would have came nicer with lining inside but I can' t be bothered with sewing. I did this pattern from a graph that I found on pinterest.com. I think I will make more of these bags maybe to sell on etsy. it is a lovely handmade bag if you ask me. I will show the bag to you. the bottom of the bag is patterned too.

Crochet Wayuu bag

I made this beautiful bag because the other one I made came a bit small. This is a very good size for a bag. It is called a wayuu bag and you can find a video tutorial for this bag. As always I change it to make it my own. I am going to give it to my youngest for Christmas. She hasn't seen it yet. The other one I made it into a bag pack this one you wear it over the shoulders or crossed at the front or back. My daughter would love these colours. You would think it is hard all these colour changes but it is not that hard. I used acrylic yarn.

Wayuu bag amigurumi

I always seem to find something new to make and this time is a Wayuu bag. I thought it is going to be very difficult with changing all the yarn colours of but not so. I posted where I got the pattern from and as always I made it a little simpler for me. The kind of yarn I used was very thin so this resulted a smaller bag. I will make another one with two yarns instead of one so it will be bigger. I made mine like a backpack with two straps. It didn't take me long to make and the stitch is slightly different from single crochet. I like some patterns of the Wayuu bags but some looks very complicated. You should give this a go. I like making new stuff, it is exciting to see how it will turn up. Here is mine good luck with yours.
