Summer is the season of bright colors and original solutions for creating unusual images. And the appearance depends not only on the outfit, but also on the use of extraordinary accessories. And what could be more unique than something made with your own hands? A crocheted summer bag can be such an accessory.
We will tell you how to crochet a summer bag with your own hands.
Knitting materials and tools
For a successful and beautiful final result, you need to properly prepare for the upcoming lesson. To do this, you have to perform several steps.
- Decide on the model.
- Purchase material.
- Choose the right tool.
- If desired, choose the appropriate decor.
For craftswomen who are just starting their creative journey, it is preferable to choose simple options.. Otherwise, you should carefully monitor all stages of the process.
For the summer model, choose yarn that is light but of sufficient density. 
The easiest way to knit is with cotton thread (250 m/100 g). You can also use viscose with the same parameters.This fiber is even preferable, since products made from it get dirty less and wash better. As a last resort, you can take acrylic yarn of sufficient thickness. Manufacturers usually produce these options in a wide range of colors. Moreover, the assortment is dominated by bright and rich colors.
The selection of tools can be carried out according to the information on the skein label. Manufacturers usually indicate recommended sizes. But if such information is missing or seems unreliable to you, there is another proven method. Fold the thread in half and compare it with the thickness of the hook head. These indicators should be the same.
ATTENTION! Before use, be sure to wipe the instrument with a soft cloth.
This will get rid of invisible plaque that forms on it over time and interferes with the progress of the thread, and can also stain the fiber.
