DIY Crochet Kit Bag Barbados

Life is better under palm trees! This tote bag is the perfect summer item for any occasion. The bag is made with Somen in the colour ‘Vaniglia’, a beautifully soft off-white shade. Somen is the perfect yarn for summer clothing and accessories, as it’s cool and breathable. This bag is crocheted with the filet crochet technique. With this technique, you are going to crochet squares that are sometimes filled and sometimes not, which will create an image in your crochet work.
