Well, I loved this beautiful yarn the moment I saw it in a beautiful LYS near a hotel I was staying at: Pins & Needles in Ruckersville, VA....I bought 4 balls and after playing with it for a year or so realized I didnt' have enough to make a shrug or small top so I made several mitered squares and then tried to figure out what I could turn the squares into....this is the result...used about 112 grams of yarn: figured that out by weighing the finished product minus the weight of the stnap. size G 4mm hook.
Super easy to make this...if you know how to crochet a mtered square; just go until they are about 8 inches square and block the squares as it will make them much more even. Then after blocking single crochet around each square...Slip stitch 4 together to make one big square. Then fold in the corners like a big envelope and slip stitch the bottom 3 triangles together leaving the fourth open for the flap...What could be easier????
I still have a ball and a half left....I am considering adding a strap to change it to a purse; but am not sure I want to do that as I was thinking of making some little amulet bags for the farmer's market out of it.
PLease let me know what you think!!!!
