 This is a simple bag with a simple tapestry pattern. You can create one simple pattern on your own on a piece of paper too. This particular bag I used a bag base and t-shirt yarn.  The tutorial video :  First I crochet the t-shirt yarn onto the bag base with a smaller hook. One that can go thru the hole on the base board. After one round of single crochet around the bag base, for the 2nd row, use a 8 mm hook. I used 2 color yarn, one blue t-shirt yarn and one multicolor t-shirt yarn.  The whole bag I used waistcoat single crochet where I place the hook into the 'v' shape. Check out the tutorial video for better understanding. The tapestry pattern is just some simple pattern I created myself. You can refer to the video to view the pattern.  As for the bag strap, I made 3 bag cord and braid it and sew it to the side of the bag.

 The Messy Bun Beanie is very easy to make. You can get one done in just a couple of hours, even for beginners. This would make a lovely Christmas gift.  The tutorial video :   I used cotton yarn and a 4 mm hook. I also added some eye lashes yarn to make it fluffy at the edge.  1) Chain 10, single crochet (sc) in the next 9 stitches starting from the 2nd stitch from the hook. 2) Chain 1, turn the work and do sc on the back loop in the next 9 stitches. Repeat the same for about 50 rows. Bring it together and measure it on the head and see if it fits. It is a bit stretchable, so stretch it when measuring on the head. If it does not fit, do few more rows. 3) Joint it with a slip stich. 4) Turn work 90 degree and work our way up with puff stitch. 5) Do single crochet all around and add about 5 to 6 increases (2 sc in one stitch). In the end, make sure the total number of stitches is in even number. End with a slip stitch. 6) Chain 1, make a puff stitch ( pull up 4 y...
