CROCHET GRANNY SQUARES BAG
Create your own handbag as you learn to crochet granny squares with Toni Lipsey, the crochet designer and educator behind TL Yarn Crafts. You’ll learn step-by-step how to crochet each round of a granny square, both in a solid color or in multiple colors. After whip stitching the squares together and attaching handles, you’ll have a polished bag, ready for a trip to the farmer’s market, local library, or vacation.


CROCHET GRANNY SQUARES
In the workshop, Toni shares all of her tips and tricks to create the best granny square, including two methods for starting the squares, and how to alternate colors between rounds. In the in-depth tutorial, you’ll also learn how to whip stitch the seams, add a top border, attach handles, and steam block the bag.
“Now of all the techniques within crochet that I love, my heart keeps going back to granny squares,” shares Toni. “This classic motif first made its debut in 1891 and keeps re-surfacing in crochet patterns around the world.”
CUSTOMIZABLE CROCHET GRANNY SQUARES KIT
Toni’s curated kit contains everything needed to make your granny square bag, including a crochet hook and gorgeous Aran weight, 100% wool yarns. “This is a great choice for this bag because it’s going to make it nice and sturdy and very easy to care for, especially over time,” shares Toni. The project comes together with custom-made leather handles, handcrafted in coastal New England by Todder USA Leather Goods.
