My Second Bag Design Featured in I Like Crochet Magazine April 2024 Issue

I’m so excited to have my second crochet design – Blue Lagoon Almond Stitch Bag – featured in I Like Crochet Magazine April 2024 issue. I am happy that my design was selected again because this is a huge boost for my motivation to keep designing different types of crochet items.

I was inspired by the crochet stitch called the “Almond Stitch” that adds elegance to this easy crochet bag. The two contrast colors used with the Almond Stitch create a lovely center panel, then one of these colors is used for side panels. And the round bamboo-style metal handles complete the striking look of this bag. The pattern is here. Happy crocheting!

It is so cool to see my crochet bag photographed by professionals! And I will continue to work with ILC Magazine, as there is another bag pattern coming at the end of 2024, so stay tuned for that!

My Bag Design Featured in I Like Crochet Magazine November 2023 Issue

My first crochet design – Blush Blizzard Puffer Purse – is featured in popular I Like Crochet Magazine November 2023 issue. This is so exciting because it was my first time to submit my pattern for a magazine, and much to my delight it was selected to be featured.

I was inspired to design this bag when I saw these cute puffy bags popping up in various fashion circles, and I thought that crochet squares were ideal to create the same look. So all these puffy motifs are made with 2 squares and stuffing inside, they are like mini pillows attached to each other to create a purse.

And to make it even more interesting, I chose the gradual color palette for each motif to create the geometrical 3d effect. I hope you love it too, and want to make the purse for your own stylish look or as a gift for that fashionable friend of yours! The pattern is here. Happy crocheting!
