Ever since I saw one crazy colorful bag, I couldn't sleep well... ha ha ha... This an amazing color combination gave me no rest! I immediately decided to make a similar bag for myself! For the hexagon pattern I have chosen an African Flower. I love love love that hexagon! Here I found one beautiful tutorial of it. In fact, I find it easier for me to crochet using a graphical diagram...
And now is the time to show you my new bag! There is a lot of pictures... I can't make a choose which ones show you and which ones not... therefore, I invite you to enjoy all the pictures!
I'm stuck inside the bottom corners and sewed them to the bottom.
I have a colorful lovely bag! Hurray! Now I'm calm! And happy! And Easter is Coming Soon and I have in my mind at least two crochet projects. And as well a couple of other craft things that have to do with my daughters. My oldest boys 11 y.o. and almost 14 y.o. hardly join us :(
Forgot to share the joy... We have sunny fine warm weather the last 5 days!
P.S. Just now I noticed that some pictures are repeated in the collages. Sorry about that... Xx

I'm not going to attach the lining... I like the bag that way!
A hook is E/3.5mm. A Yarn I've used is Russian mercerized 100% cotton Uspeshnaya(Успешная) by Pehorka(Пехорка). The yarn is thin(220m/50g), therefore I've used it 2 strands together.

I just love your bag. It's so bright and cheery. I love the African Flower hexagon, I just love hexagons! I probably wouldn't line it either, but that is only because I hate sewing :)

Thank you, Helen! To be honest, I had planned to insert the lining, but then I forgot to buy the fabric for it, and then I lost the desire to messing around with the lining... Lazy me...

ReplyDeleteThe Flower hexagon is also lovely! I click the link for the graphic but I cannot find?

Thank you, Talitha! I checked the link, it was really wrong, but now everything is fine, you can see the graphic!
DeleteI liked your words - "Sunny Olga bag", I think this might be the name of my bag. Kisses Xx
