This pattern is for the Festival Bag which is a great accessory for all those summer festivals and activities. With its boho design and added fringe this bag will fit right in this summer. All you need to do is decide is which colour you will make your bag in.

The Festival bag comes in two different sizes depending on whether you choose to use cotton and 5mm hook or Bernat Home Maker Dec yarn and an 8mm hook. The gauge for this bag is as follows; the smaller bag size squares are 8cm across and the larger squares are 12cm across.

The bag is constructed by making granny squares which are then crocheted together to form the bag. The fringe and lining are added and the strap is the finishing touch. The bag has the option of different closing methods, you could use a zip or magnetic bag clasp to close as the small bag, or add a flap with loop and flower to close as on the large bag.

The finished bags measure 26cm square (small bag) and 36cm square (large bag). Both measurements exclude the fringe.
