If you’ve ever wanted to make a crocheted basket, here is your chance. This is a one day workshop which teaches you all the basics of making crocheted handbags and/or baskets. We will learn how to turn a granny square into a base for a basket or handbag. We will also learn how to make a circular base!!
We will then design the shape of the bag/basket, learn to increase and decrease, making reinforced handles and how to finish.
