"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."

Watermelon Slice Sunglass Pouch
"I created this sunglass pouch as part of a challenge where the theme was Summer. It inspired me to share this fun, easy and quick little crochet pattern perfect for the Summer staple seen everywhere - sunglasses! You'll need a small amount of worsted weight yarn in red, white, black and green. I've used Lily Sugar n Cream for mine, but WeCrochet Dishie and Red Heart Smoothie are great alternatives. I recommend cotton since a sunglass pouch sees a lot of wear and tear in, out and around a bag. The pouch took me just over 30 minutes to work up."
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 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."
