[Craft] Crochet String Bag

那天決定放棄打毛衣，想說那不如來學打勾針吧！Crochet(勾針)果然比knitting(棒針)快很多耶！我自己看著書學，發現一點都不難呢！而且幾個小時就打好了一件完成品，平常我用棒針打個圍巾都要打上好幾天呢！



這是我的勾針作品一號，一個小提袋，還有還有，我家小貓咪入鏡了喔！




這是提袋平放再地上的照片，還蠻可愛的呢！不過這個提袋的缺點就是，不能裝太重的東西，要不然袋子會拖很長。



來張近照，這個毛線是米色上面有一些雜雜的紅色藍色跟紫色。



提帶部分的近照，自己覺得勾的邊邊做的還蠻漂亮的。

沒想到勾針一點都不難，而且很有趣呢！短短時間就可以做好一件作品，真是很有成就感，現在又開始對自己有信心囉！

提供這個小提袋的做法給大家，有興趣的就來做吧！
