Hello everybody,
Day 37 ECQ enhanced community quarantine, Philippines.
Last April 15, Wednesday, the Admin of our local online Crochetist group posted our monthly task. After reading the task I right away checked my stash thinking what quick and easy project I may make. Bhamm! Flash of lightning into my brain. With my materials on hand I wanna make my 2nd Versatile Wrist Bag - a tote that holds a yarn cake I can hang on my wrist where ever I go and crochet even while standing.
This was my first made...
At the moment this bag is soiled and faded so, I must have new one.
The bag am making is not a carbon copy of the former in which I constructed with plain granny square. The little twist is a circle granny square in purple colorway.
That is our task. I made right away with no delay. Started: 15 April 2020
Here is the materials:
I crocheted the base right away.
With crochet hook 3.5 mm and Japan 4mm cord
Making this in continous rounds.
Row 1: In a ring or magic ring, Chain(ch) 1, 7 Single Crochet (sc) in a ring, pull to close the circle, weave ends at wrong side of work (7sc)
Row 2: 2sc in each sc space (14 sc)
Row 3: 1 sc in 1st sc, 2 in next sc space repeat all around (21 sc)
Row 4: 1 sc, 1sc, 2sc repeat all around (28 sc)
Row 5: 1 sc, 1sc, 1sc, 2sc repeat (35 sc)
Row 6: 1sc, 1sc, 2sc, 1sc, 1sc repeat (42 sc)
Row 7: 1sc in each 5 sc, 2 sc in next, repeat (49 sc)
Row 8: 1 sc in each 3 sc, 2sc in next, 1sc in each 3 sc, repeat all around but 1 slip stitch in the 2 sc, close, cut and weave ends (56 sc). Base bag, done. Set aside.
Now, the bag side:
Here is the granny square, make 1 whole piece, then the 3 square pcs until Row 6 for the last row join as you go.
With mercerized cotton 3 pull and hook 3mm

Row 7 : repeat Row 6.
Done....
Make another 3 square and the last row join as you go so that one side of the squares attached to each other to form like a tube.
After the tube form I make 1 sc in each stitch all around in one side then I attach it to the base using sc all around.
Just until here, this is part 1 of the pattern. Tutorial video will be uploaded soon to my channel. Next blog I will show you part 2 how I crochet the handle. Am still making it.

Ooo the wrist bag is a good idea! Love the cotton candy base colour with the purple body and the addition of granny squares in there too. I am intrigued with crochetist group. What happens after you complete the monthly task? I am wondering if the group is to encourage members to crochet and share or do you later sell it together or something?
Thank you @marblely ahh what we make is just to encourage everyone with what we make, we just post our progress in our album so others can makevit if they want to, it is up to us if sell or not
