NEEDLEWORKMONDAY: UPCYCLING CHALLENGE

Hello needlecrafters,

This is my upcycle project this needleworkmonday.

When I went to Mahalo Japan Surplus Store two weeks ago to buy yarns, this cloth bag also caught my eye because of the unique handle.

So, I bought it, in my mind this was a nice upcycle project. Timely I have a purple cord in my stash. When I went home, I right away remove the cloth from the handle, and started crocheting the base of the bag.

I started with Chain 27(CH), Double crochet (DC) in 4th CH from hook, and in each CH across (25DC).

Row 2: Using C2C stitch(St), CH 2, 1DC in same space(sp), skip 2 st1 SC into first beginning CH and repeat process all around (this is working on the right side of work). End with SC into first CH 2, Ch 1.

Row 3: turn your work, Slip Stitch(Sl St) into first sp, CH 2, 1DC in same sp, 1SC into next sp, repeat process all around.
Row 4 until Row 12: just repeat Row 2 and Row 3.

Row 13: To even the scallop, CH 1(considered as SC), CH 1 in next sp, 1half double crochet( HDC) in the middle of two scallops, repeat across, end with Sl St, cut and weave ends.

Row 14: CH 3, 1Extended double crochet(EDC), CH 1, skip one St, repeat across. Then, same as the other side.

Attached the handle by Sl ST in each St into the handle frame.

Done!

I will add a Chain handle in this bag, when I go to the craft store and a flower perhaps. This was a rushed project with my busy schedule, thanks the main bag was finished.

Thanks for stopping by...
May you like my upcycled bag.
