Sweet Nothings Crochet: PINEAPPLE BOHO BEACH BAG

PINEAPPLE BOHO BEACH BAG - crochet pattern info from Sweet Nothings Crochet

I have probably used the fantastic pineapple crochet pattern in almost every way possible. Here is my crochet pineapple boho beach bag. If you have not worked this pattern before, here's your chance to learn this awesome pineapple crochet pattern. The stitches used are very basic and used in an interesting way. I've used some (Indian) polyester purse yarn in cones, with a 3.5 mm crochet hook. Thank you for joining me.

Materials used : Just over one cone of polyester purse yarn in cones , with a 3.5 mm crochet hook

For Non-Indians : The polyester purse yarn is available only in India (to my knowledge). This yarn has a 4-ply or sport ply thickness.

Among the international yarns I have used in this thickness, I’d suggest Aunt Lydia Cotton 10, Aunt Lydia Bamboo-Viscose 10, DMC Petra, Sullivans knitting cotton (Australia), Milford Soft, Hilaza Rustica Eclat , Alize cotton yarn and Alize bamboo yarn.

You can make this project with any yarn and a hook that suits it.

For today’s pineapple boho beach bag, come here.

This is the inspiration (designer's photo) that got me started on my creation.

The beauty of this creation is that you can make it using any yarn with a suitable hook and make it to any size. I did not have the yarn or hook specified by the designer, and have still made a fantastic creation – so go ahead, create and have a fun day at the beach.

and now for a quick photo bombing session as I show off my creation ;)

FINISHING :

As I intend this to be a boho / beach bag, I do not plan on lining it – however here are a few links on how you can finish your bag up if you so decide.
