Description
THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE , DIGITAL CROCHET PATTERN, NOT A FINISHED PRODUCT!
This cute bag pattern is named after my grand daughter. She is a little princess who loves colour and texture and you can be sure to get a lot of both when you make this project.
This digital pattern comes with links to tutorials for special stitches and techniques and a photo tutorial.
For those who are not yet familiar with Image Overlay Crochet terminology or makers who want to brush up on their IOC skills, an instruction booklet with the basics in terms of terminology and techniques used is included in the pattern purchase.
An IOC Basics Masterclass is in the making for extra support.
Image Overlay Crochet is a technique based on overlay crochet, where we write stories in yarn, crocheting the background layer and the image layer at the same time, using a special abbreviation and IOC specific techniques.
Once familiar with the techniques and the special abbreviation terminology (formerly known as ’Petranese’), these patterns – though officially classified as intermediate/advanced – include enough support in form of photo and video tutorials plus Masterclasses for the technique, that even a confident beginner can tackle the patterns.
You should be familiar with basic (US) terminology, confident with counting rounds and stitches and know your stitches from slip stitch to double treble. Tables with the most commonly used abbreviations, punctuation and stitch explanations for our basics, (like sc, hdc, dc, htr, tr, hdtr and dtr) are included in the pattern documents.
Gauge is not important for this pattern, unless you want to make it in a specific size.
