Posh Pooch Designs : Big Easy Knot Bag Crochet Pattern

Big Easy Knot Bag

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

I am So excited about this New Crochet Pattern Release.

I Love How The Big Easy Knot Bag Turned out and I

absolutely love the yarn that I designed it with.

And This Bag has lot's of fun Uses. A Shopping bag,

a Market Bag, a Beach bag, a Travel bag, a Purse

and of course a project bag.

The Yarn is called "BE SO EASY" By Kristin Omdahl.

It is 100% Milk Cotton Yarn.

What is "Milk Cotton Yarn"?

Here is a link That explains it better than I can -LINK

The Yarn is very soft and sturdy, which

makes it perfect for my new bag design. It also

comes in quite a few colorways.

See The Yarn At This LINK: KristinOmdahl.com

While You are at her webpage be sure to check out all

the other wonderful yarns she has.

The Yarn is a Bulky (5) and I designed the bag using

a K/ 6.5 MM Crochet Hook. I used 6 different colors

for the striping effect, but You do not have to stripe it as I did.

Colors I Used:

Goldenrod, Cornflower, Sage Green

Pink Lemonade, Lavender, Ecru

Of course, you can use any Bulky (5) yarn you like,

and What ever colors you prefer.

Although, I highly recommend the yarn I used. It is

one of the softest cotton yarns I have ever used,

It glides nicely on my crochet hook,

And makes a strong and lovely bag.
