Dip-dyed Cosmetic Bag (or Crochet Hook Pouch)
"This is the fifth design in my Dip-Dyed series - a cosmetic bag, or crochet hook pouch! This bag features a fun ribbed pattern, two color blocks, and uses simple crochet stitches. I don't often carry around a purse, and am not really a make up person, but I do enjoy using my bag for crochet hooks, and other essentials - yes, I keep a nail file in my hook bag as an essential! I recommend cotton yarn because it's more durable, and this bag will most likely see a lot of use, and being pulled and pushed around in a larger bag/purse, and you'll need just over an hour to put it together."
Dip Dyed Sunglass Pouch
"This bag is worked using a simple single crochet stitch worked into the back loop to create this fun, ribbed pattern paired with a trendy color block pattern. It's finished with a snap button, but an alternative to this would be to leave off the flap, crochet a chain loop instead, and sewing on a respective sized button. You'll need about 50 yards of worsted weight yarn - I've used Lily Sugar n Cream for mine. I recommend cotton yarn because it's more durable, and this bag will most likely see a lot of use, and being pulled and pushed around in a larger bag/purse."
Crochet And Leather Handbag
"This crochet and leather hand bag is a very simple design for a very elaborate sounding concept. Don't worry, it's really simple though. If you can draw a straight line with a ruler, squeeze a hole punch and crochet some very basic stitches, you can make a ton of cool leather nd crochet projects. Why leather and crochet? Some items like purses get the most wear in specific places, like the bottom. Leather in those spots means a longer life span of your bag etc, but it also adds another design element that totally changes the aesthetic. So besides a great look and longer life of your item, it's really fun and challenging!"

Dip-dyed Soap Cozy Or Small Gift Bag
"This adorable little bag can be used as a soap cozy (gift with homemade soap or facial scrubbies!), a favor/candy pouch, or a small gift bag (gift with a new pair of earrings or gift bag!). I worked in the back loops to create the fun ribbed pattern paired with a color block of cream and a summery, bright green. This cozy took me just under 45 minutest to work up, and just a small amount of yarn."
