Honeycomb Post Stitch

The Sweet Simple Tote Bag is both fun and functional. The handbag is made in one continuous piece starting from the base. Two strands of yarn are held together throughout to create a strong bag. Because it’s thick, a lining is not necessary. And it’s made with just single crochet stitches, so there’s no complicated stitch patterns to remember. Stripes along with pompom and tassel bag decorations add a fresh splash of color.

How cute is this? You can use this flower-like border on a blanket, afghan, scarf, shawl, handbag, and more. It forms a nice 3D effect along your work.

Here’s a quick and very easy candy cane to crochet. With just 2 rows of single crochet stitches, this crochet pattern is perfect for a beginner. A glue and water mixture then help the candy canes keep their shape. Once completed they are about 8 inches tall and 3 inches wide.
