Striated Purple Bag

My colleague had given me some balls of yarn from Thailand when she came back to Jakarta couple weeks ago. I'm so happy to get these ball of yarns. What a beautiful yarn she given to me !!!
Thanks a lot mba :)

I showed these yarns to my mom and suddenly she asked me to make her a simple square bag to be used when she goes to the church. Then, she chose striated purple yarn (nice choice mom ^.^d).
Using clover hook #6, I started to crochet it.
In the beginning, the bag size was too big (length approximately 35 cms).
My mom little bit complaint about the size. Soo, I tried to re-crochet again and made it smaller 5cms.

I love this kind of yarn. It is s
oo thick but soft enough when we touch it. I think it is very suitable to make a bag. You do not need to use additional fabric inside the bag because the density between stiches are soo tight. Therefore, you don't have to worry about your things you bring.

I used a pair of wooden handler (as my mom requested), wooden button (mom didn't want to use zipper for her bag), and attached a dark purple (using softy cotton yarn) flower in button hole to make it more feminine.

And here is the result !!!!


Hope you like it mom, I made it for you with all my love !!! ^_^
Muacchh....
