Crocheted Granny Square bag

Hi there!!

Today's post is about crocheted bag...it was a work by my daughter.  I am helping her to finished it up with the lining, button and the handle. This is how the front looks like with the button closure.

I choose to crochet the handle differently from the pattern... and this is how the back of the bag looks like.

I have similar pattern  from a Japanese crocheting book ... and if you're interested to crochet one for yourself please write to me at shaza.zain@gmail.com  For the bag pattern  above I am still in the process of writing, and testing it...maybe I will come out with a step by step instructions, till then...

Happy Crocheting!!

WiP

Hi everyone!!

I don't make much progress to my crochet projects this week... since I did a lot of sewing lately and went for holiday.
First in the list of work in progress is this Sunburst granny square Afghan...  I need another 32 pieces to finished it up before I can join everything together...

Next is this baby Cardigan which have been going very slow. I managed to make a little progress... at least I've finished with the body and to start crocheting the sleeves.

thirdly is this new baby brim hat which basically left with only the brim to finished it up... Hope next week I can share with everyone the finished hat...

Happy Crocheting !!

Aviator Hat

Remember the post that I  wrote about Aviator hat which I've made for a customer? I made another one but with two different colors.  Basically for this hat,  I did not follow any specific pattern.... even though there are a lot of similar designs out there but I am not sure whether it is suitable to use with our local yarn(from my experienced I find that pattern on the web are usually turn out small).   Due to that I try to do some modification toward the first aviator hat pattern using the yarn that can be found locally and the result ... here it is... 

For this version I used the Ondori Arcylic yarn(45g) using 4.5mm aluminium hook size.

It turn out suitable for baby size 9 - 12 months.

This is my nephew age 7 months old... it is just too big for him.

Happy Crocheting!!

What I've been working on...

I've been working on this .... Baby Puff Brim Hat pattern

 and this hat ..... size for 3 - 6 months baby

and using the same materials(bulky yarn) I crocheted this hat

Size  for 0 - 3 months(15" -16" head circumference) 

Happy Crocheting!!

Crochet Along:WiP

Today I would like to share my progress on the Crochet Along that I participated at Oxford Family Blog! Item that we have to work together is a full size Sunburst Granny Square Afghan. This is the pictures of my progress for week 3 

and  this is for week 4 which I crocheted up to round 5. I only completed 11 pieces of squares so far.



Honestly as at today,I only managed to crochet 30 pieces out of 88 squares that we require to have for the afghan.  I plan when I start crocheting the other 58  pieces I will complete it up to round 6 since week 5 is just around the corner.
















I would also like to share my progress on the Crochet Along with Rachel at Maybe Matilda. The challenge is to crochet a Time Out Cowl!!  The completed cowl size should be 30 inches and at the moment my cowl size is 20 inches.

I need to crochet another 10 inches to complete. I plan to do it by this weekend  and will share the completed cowl in my next post!!

Till then Happy Crocheting!!!
