There may or may not have been a post going around Facebook last week wherein people pledged to make hand made items for the first five people to comment on their post. I may or may not have reposted this, thereby signing myself up for five surprise projects. I may or may not be listening to NKOTB and wearing a side ponytail right now. *Ahem.* Anyway.
I’ve had this in my Ravelry queue since, oh, I don’t know, October, and thought now would be the perfect time to give it a whirl:
Isn’t it cute? To make one with a flap like this you’ll need to make:
-4 granny squares
-1 granny half-square
-a strap the length of your choice (I did a chain & then dc’d around both sides)
– a button or some velcro
It goes together quickly – you can look at the pictures to see how to fold yours, then just start sewing! I added a button closure to mine, and because Husband was very concerned that whoever gets this bag would need to carry tiny things, an inside pocket:
The inside pocket is just a rectangular swatch of dc’s sewn in… easy peasy!
I suppose this is less of a pattern and more of a general idea, eh? If you’re interested in more details, stop by these websites or send me a message!
