[Custom Order] Japanese Pattern Vege Bag! After nearly 5 months, it is done! 😂 This pattern uses the crochet waistcoat stitch, or the knit(look) stitch which I struggled with the first time I tried, 3 years ago. This needs a lot of tension control! I used all 12ply yarns, with a hamanaka bag base, and a 4.5mm hook. Pattern from an applemints book (see last picture). As you'd notice, I'm missing the chilli rows. My bag would've been too tall! So we stopped after the lotus root. Difference of yarn type. I also added the button flap closure and did a lil extra in the base round to reinforce. A bit of math was needed as my base didn't have the exact number of holes for the pattern. Frogged a few times but once I got the sizing right with the repeat pattern, it was all go - at a really slow pace 🐌 and really long breaks in-between. Grateful to the (free!) stitchfiddle program where I could chart the diagram in colour and track my rows. If you'd like a look at the contents page for this book to see the other designs, drop me a message! Mum and I will be attempting the mad pattern I shared in my Stories (the black n white bag on the book's front cover). She wants to learn how to change yarn colours. The bags may take us a year to finish 🙃 . . . #crochet #yarnitbunny #applemints #crochetbag #handmade #custommade #vegebag #bucketbag #sgcrafter #supportsmall #smallbusiness (at Singapore / Singapura / 新加坡 / சிங்கப்பூர்) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd-KVOZrfb8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
