The 1976 Bag Pattern

1976 - the year Bohemian Rhpasody hit number 1, the year Fleetwood Mac were holed up in California recording their Rumours album, and a heatwave of 35C and a 45 day drought... no wonder this is the year that I felt the need to create something inspired by my favourite decade!

Using my favourite Joy square, create a beautiful granny square bag, that reminds you of every blanket featured in every 70's TV show or film. This bag does have a closer crocheted base so you don't lose your spare change out the bottom as well as a nice wide strap.

I personally LOVE this colour combination, but I also love when you go rogue and show me your own colour combos.

This pattern was comissioned for and featured in the Craft Club Magazine (Create & Craft TV's subscription magazine) in August 2022.
