Owl Bag

Bags are easy to make. In fact, they are a good project for beginners. Simply choose a color, make a chain to the size of bag you want, and crochet in a circular pattern instead of back and forth, or crochet back and forth, make two panels, and sew them together.

Handles are tricky. If you crochet the long way, the handle will curl up. Crochet the short way instead, and do not make your stitch any bigger than a half-double crochet for strength purposes. (the handle in this photo is 8 stitches long hdc)

The owl face is simple: two circles and one triangle. You can find patterns for circles and triangles in almost any crochet book, and then sew them on.
