I've got a new crochet bag pattern for y'all using blanket yarn!

The name of the pattern is so creative, so hang onto your hats! It's my Cat Bag With Bow Strap crochet pattern! Whoa, crazy!

You can get my Cat Bat With Bow Strap crochet pattern right here at HELLOhappy, Etsy, and Ravelry.

The blanket yarn trend continues, so must I. Except I can't recommend the yarn I used for this. At all. Like maybe I just got a bad skein, but this was Loops & Threads Sweet Snuggles Lite and it shed non-stop, from dawn to dusk, never ending. My dog has a double coat and is currently shedding, and this yarn kept pace with her, okay? Instead buy yourself some Bernat Blanket/Baby Blanket and have a better time than I did. Cough I also had a bad experience with Hobbii Baby Snuggle in the past soooo not that one either.

Supplies

Super bulky (weight 6) polyester yarn
Worsted (weight 4) yarn - just for the face details
3mm and 6mm hook
yarn needle
Embroidery needle or a very skinny yarn needle
Optional: sewing clips (can use scrap yarn or stitch markers)

The pattern level is marked as intermediate and I wouldn't recommend it for beginners. Please have a good amount of sewing experience under your belt first!

Fun fact: I green screened myself into these photos! It was like 90 degrees outside and there was no way I was gonna trek outside to take photos, so I hung up my green screen curtain and hoped for the best. The backdrop is actually a photo I took in Japan last year! I took several shots of cute scenery and streets, who knew they'd actually be useful instead of just pretty?

So if you're thinking to yourself "something about these photos looks off" it's the lighting not matching up, because they're fake 😂
