Stained Glass Granny Square Bag


After all the blankets I've been making lately, I decided that I'd take a break and make something smaller. I came across this pattern a while back, and have been wanting to make it. I actually made something for myself for once! Yay!

Unfortunately, this bag turned out to be a lot more work than I had anticipated due to the number of ends that needed to be worked in. Once again, why I prefer not to make granny squares, although I did work them in as I went along, so not as bad as it could have been.

I made a few changes to the pattern. Each square is only 4 rounds, 3 of the multicolor and 1 of black. I also changed the handles and ch 70 instead of 90, and only did 2 rows of sc. The bag was assembled with sc in black. It ended up being about 10"x10" (not including the handles.)

Originally, I was going to make the bag in the multicolor and the bright green that I had left over from the cactaur blanket, but it was just too bright. I switched the green for the black, and overall, I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
