Crocheted Bag for Life Pattern

Crocheted Bag for Life Pattern

£1.00

Bin those plastic bags and crochet your own bag that you can carry wherever you go. The bag is crocheted using a fishnet stitch that expands to hold lots of goodies and folds up into a small package that will fit in your handbag. We’ve suggested Texere C4 linen as it’s strong, available in lots of colours and is a brilliant price, although you could use any cotton, linen or bamboo type yarn. You could make a multi-coloured version for a summery beach bag.

Laines du Nord Simple Knits Book 4 by Jane Ellison

Laines du Nord Simple Knits Book 4 by Jane Ellison

£2.50

To accompany our Laines du Nord yarns we are offering three knitting pattern books at an unbeatable price. The patterns in this book use smooth and classical luxurious yarns and they are knitted into simple shapes and pretty patterns to show the yarn off to its best. Jane has used stitch techniques such as lace, ribs, scallops and stripes to give texture and interest to the designs. There are 15 designs including wraps and a scarf, jumpers, tops, cardigans and a snuggly blanket. Although we don't stock many of the yarns why not have a go at using some substitutes and experimenting with textures to recreate the effects. Jane uses mainly DK, aran and chunky yarns, so it's easy to find alternatives from our collection including our Airedale Aran, the classic King Cole DK or luxurious Sublime DK. RRP œ7.50, so our price of just œ2.50 is the price of many individual patterns and you get a book of 15 designs!
