Haven’t you got enough time for big crochet projects? Then granny square is perfect for you! It takes only 20 minutes to crochet a granny. Sit down on the sofa and try to clear your mind. Work with colorful yarns is really a therapy. You collect them and after a few days get them together and you will have a beautiful new handmade bag!

I love “portuguese ceramic tiles”. I try to catch its style, colors and patterns. It is so exciting to mix tunisian crochet with cross stitch techniques.

This listing is for the crochet pattern sent as a PDF file - not for a physical item.

You will receive a very detailed, (33–page, easy to follow) written instructions in English of how to complete this unique bag. The pattern is written in standard American terms.

yarn, needle, embroidery needle

Handles: You can sew them (following my description) or you can buy ready handles too.
If you sew them you will need:
artificial leather / or cotton fabric
2 times for the handles: 8 cm = 3,14” wide x 100 cm = 39” long
accessories for the handmade handles:
4 pieces metal rectangle ring (size approx: 3,5 cm = 1,37” by 1,5 cm = 0,59”) 2 pieces metal bag sliders (size approx: 3,5 cm = 1,37” by 1,5 cm = 0,59”)

Lining:
You can make the bag without lining too. But I think it is better to sew a simple lining for the bag. It will be more durable.
gray or light blue cotton fabric: 2 times: approx. 30 x 32 cm = 11,8” x 12,6” for the lining of the bag. 4 times: approx. 18 x 18 cm = 6,69” x 6,69” for the 2 inside pockets if you want to sew it.
1 magnetic purse snap/bag closure.
