Hey I’m back! This is the first pattern release since my big move back to Utah last month. Actually, I released a pattern the day I moved and then it’s been nothing since. Honestly, I’m glad past-Amber was so on top of things because current-Amber is all scatter brained, can’t remember what day it is. Ha! But, like I said, past-Amber was looking out and planned this week’s release months ago – say hello to the Lucinda Bag crochet pattern.

For the eagle-eyed out there, you may notice something familiar about this new bag and that’s because it’s a variation on the January’s Lucinda Basket. I loved how that design worked up so much that I knew I needed to make another with that stitch. It’s a simple hdc/ slip st variation with turns (the turns are important) to give it some wonderful texture. I’m definitely going to find other things to use this texture for because I really love it.

Like the Lucinda Basket, this design is worked from the bottom up but for the Lucinda Bag, the base it worked as a rectangle instead of a circle. I love using rectangles for bag bases because they’re so sturdy and they give such a cool look to the bag. The rectangle makes the whole bag look more boxy but in a good way, ya know? And it makes it a nifty little book bag for library trips. That reminds me, I need to go to the library now that I’ve moved 😀
And after the base you work the Sides in the round and then fasten off, the Straps are worked separately. I wanted to make this bag a little more interesting so I made the straps separate, then you sew them to the bag. This gives you another avenue for customization because you can make these straps as long or as short as you’d like. Or! You could make them in a cool icord or something and really make them look neat… it’s up to you. I was going to make mine all cool and textured but I changed my mind, thinking simple was probably better.

Anyway, I hope you like this week’s new pattern. I love a good crochet bag, don’t you? I think it’s such a wonderful way to bring crochet with you during the warmer months. Thanks for checking out this pattern, I hope you make it and share some photos if you do.
