Crochet lunch bag - blue

T shirt yarns, are great to use. When I got these uarns from Pony Craft Store, Conoor I was fascinated by their texture. For long I could not really understand what I could really do with these type of yarns. Then google gave me ideas and I made a oval bottom lunch bag for my daughter. Used 6mm hook as I was thinking the lowest number mentioned in the yarn ball will suit it well.

Got numb fingers and shoulder pain, but the fascination of seeing the end result gave me enthu to finish it fast. 

Crochet chain bunch

Though I know basic crochet and when I saw the set made by another crafter I was amazed as to how the beads are added to it. When I asked the procedure I could not get it clearly but when I searched the youtube and google, got a clarity. Though there are videos to make this set in youtube, here is a tutorial which could be useful to many.

Decide upon the number of strands that you want to make, then decide upon the number of stitches you want to add between every bead. This will help to add the total number of beads to the string. The whole set is made using just a single chain stitch.

Without cutting the string, add the beads to the string (if needed use needle to add the beads). At the back of the neck and at the place of the pendant, there should just be chains.

Start with making 12 chains, pull a bead through the needle, and make a chain around it. Make 6 chains and add another bead. Repeat to add 6 beads then add 12 chains repeat the chains and beads (add another set of 6 beads). Make chain 12 and keep repeating till all the beads are added up. Attach the last chain with the first chain (the beginning chain). Fold the chain and attach the 12 chains with a rope and if you are adding a pendant, use a chain or pendant attacher.
