Colourful Wayuu Bags to Crochet: A guide to making tapestry crochet bags by Rianne de Graaf

Colorful, functional and fun – these striking crocheted Wayuu Mochila bags have the best combination of features! Using the technique of tapestry crochet, there are ten stunning bags to make, all in excitingly bold colorways and designs, with the characteristic woven shoulder straps and drawstring cords. Some of the bags are also embellished with pompoms and tassels. Using the traditional geometric patterns and shapes of the Colombian and Venezuelan Wayuu people, each bag is unique and you can make them in your own choice of colors.

There is a comprehensive techniques section at the beginning of the book to help you get to grips with tapestry crochet, and a section at the end showing you how to make the beautifully woven straps and also the drawstrings, using the Kumihimo technique. The woven straps could also easily be made on their own as trendy belts for trousers and skirts.

Hooked On Quilted Crochet – 6 Colorful Patterns for Crochet Lovers

Who says quilts can only be made of fabric? Not us! The six crochet designs in Hooked on Quilt Blocks from Leisure Arts show how easy it is to create traditional quilt patterns with a patchwork of colorful crocheted triangles, diamonds, hexagons, and other motifs. Instead of sewing fabric patches together, you simply crochet and assemble the necessary pieces using yarn of any weight. Designs by Sarah J. Green include Lap Robe and Pillow (featuring Tumbling Blocks pattern), Table Runner (hexagons with some dimensional flowers), Baby Afghan (Wagon Wheel and Left or Right Spinner Hexagons), Tree Skirt (hexagon motifs with snowflake centers), and Throw Pillow (resembling Lone Star quilt).
