Crochet Drawstring Bag – one-day workshop

Knitwear designer and tutor Nicki Merrall will teach you to crochet circles and use them as the base for a pretty crochet drawstring bag. This workshop is suitable for anyone who can make a basic granny square.

In this workshop, you will crochet a drawstring bag starting with a circular base. You will work the side of the bag by combining stitches you already know in different ways to create an interesting pattern. When you work the border, you will learn one or two new stitches and use them to create a pretty shell pattern. You will have help following crochet patterns with both written and charted instructions. During the workshop, you will crochet one drawstring bag using up to three colours.
