We hope you’re as excited as we are for you to make the Colorblock Boho Bag. You can take it anywhere with you and all your friends will be asking where you got such a stylish, practical bag. They’ll be begging you for a tote bag once they hear you made it! With so many friends wanting bags, you might feel overwhelmed…if you didn’t have the Colorblock Boho Bag to keep you organized, that is!
If you were to make this with one color, is this a ONE SKEIN project?
Hi Paulette,
If you will be using the Cascade Avalon yarn, that will be a little over 2 skeins of a single color.
Is the Avalon yarn a soft yarn or a stiff yarn?
Us or uk pattern? Thanks
I have only crocheted one time – at a class where we could make whatever we wanted. I made a tote bag using mostly triple crochet. I think the top of the bag and the handle was a different stitch. I liked it so much that I bought enough skeins of cotton yarn to make more for gifting. Alas, I never made them. But I still have the cotton yarn! Your bag might be even more useful and I think I know where to find a class where I can get help when I need it.
Thanks for reviving my interest in crochet.
BTW I found you through Craft Gossip.
