Let’s crochet together! Vickie Howell and I are co-hosting a crochet-along for the Overprint Bag I designed for Pom Pom Quarterly. This bag is a fun and easy project for crocheters of all skill levels. Follow along with us for the next four weeks for tips, tutorials and giveaways! All the deets below.

What’s the skill level?
This pattern is very beginner friendly, using primarily double crochet and minimal shaping. Skills used in the bag will be supported with video tutorials.
What’s the yarn?
Use any suitable yarn you like to participate make your bag. See my previous blog post for yarn substitutions suggestions.
The yarn in the sample featured in Pom Pom (and in the photos on this page) is Onion Organic Cotton.
The yarn in the Overprint kits available from YarnYAY! is Montoya Merino Light by Vickie Howell. Available in two awesome colourways!
