Fat Bottom Bag Crochet Pattern

December 21, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

The Fat Bottom Bag Crochet Pattern is a fun and stylish crochet project that is perfect for creating a one-of-a-kind bag that is both functional and fashionable. This pattern, designed by Heart Hook Home, uses a variety of different yarn colors (54 yds of 4 different colors) and approximately 350 yards of white worsted-weight yarn, as well as a size I crochet hook. Additionally, you will also need a set of wooden handles and fabric for lining the inside of the bag.

One of the things that makes this bag pattern unique is its “fat bottom” design, which gives the bag a distinct and eye-catching shape. The pattern provides clear instructions for creating the bag, including step-by-step instructions for adding the handles and lining the inside of the bag.

One of the tips that I’d like to share is about the yarn choice. Make sure that you choose a durable yarn for this bag as it will be carrying weight and will be subjected to wear and tear. You can also mix and match different yarn textures to create an interesting and unique look for your bag.

Another tip is about adding the handles. In this pattern, wooden handles are used, but you can use any type of handle that you prefer, such as rope handles or even crocheted handles. Just make sure that the handles are sturdy enough to support the weight of the bag and its contents.

Finally, lining the bag with fabric will add a professional touch to the finished product, and it will also protect the yarn from stretching and wear.

Overall, the Fat Bottom Bag Crochet Pattern is a great project for experienced crocheters who want to create a stylish and functional bag that is perfect for everyday use. The pattern is clear and easy to follow, and the end result is a beautiful and unique bag that you’ll be proud to show off. So, grab your yarn, hook and let’s get started on this fun and rewarding project!

Shock Wave Free Crochet Lap Blanket Pattern

This Free Shock Wave Crochet Lap Blanket Pattern from Mary Maxim looks like one of those wonderfully satisfying projects that gives big cozy payoff without fiddly detail. Mary Maxim lists it as a free download, designed as a crochet afghan/lap blanket, with a finished size of 45 x 50 inches.

What immediately stands out is the yarn choice. The pattern is made with Bernat Blanket Extra Thick, using 5 skeins, and calls for a U.S. U/50 (25 mm) crochet hook. That is gloriously chunky territory, which usually means fast progress and lots of squishy texture. If you are in the mood for a project that feels substantial in your hands and grows quickly row by row, this one definitely has that appeal.

Mary Maxim describes the blanket as having a beautifully textured, plush, soft finish and suggests it as a project for home décor or gifting. Based on the materials and oversized hook alone, that sounds about right. This feels like the sort of blanket you make for curling up on the couch, draping over a chair, or giving as a practical handmade gift that will actually get used instead of folded away “for best.”

The pattern is marked Easy, and the listed stitch requirements are straightforward: chain, repeat, double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch. That makes it sound approachable for confident beginners and very appealing for anyone who wants a relaxing crochet project without too much counting drama.

I also think the lap blanket size is a smart one. Not every crochet blanket needs to become a giant commitment that takes over the lounge room and your will to live. A 45 x 50 inch blanket is a useful, manageable size for gifting, for wheelchairs or reading nooks, or just for keeping on hand for chilly evenings. That practicality gives this pattern extra appeal. The usability point is my own take based on the finished dimensions Mary Maxim provides.

At the moment, the pattern page shows no reviews, so there is not much customer feedback to go on yet. Still, if you enjoy easy crochet blanket patterns, super chunky crochet throws, or quick lap blanket projects, this one looks like a solid freebie to save.

My overall take? This looks like a fast, cozy, beginner-friendly crochet blanket pattern with plenty of texture and instant-gratification energy. Very much the sort of project you start because it looks easy, then keep going because the yarn feels ridiculously soft.
