I am just going to put the balance of Winter Beanies 2017 here instead of blogging on each separately. (I have already blogged separately on a few, which will not be included here.)

Bag Mochila Wayuu – Bag Lining How To
I choose to make the lining for my bags after everything else has been completed. (See index in How to Make Mochila Wayuu Bags.) Traditional Wayuu bags are generally un-lined. But I think that lining will make a better and more practical bag. It will ensure that dirt does not stick to inside yarn of bag when bag is used. With lining, I can add pockets – which is always a desirable feature. The downside is … yup! More work!

Bag Mochila Wayuu – Holes and Grommets for Drawstring
So far, we have made the base for the Wayuu bag. And from that, we know the number of stitches we need to graph the pattern for the body of the bag.
Holes & Grommets for Drawstring
Continuing from the base, crochet according to graphed pattern till you get to height of where the holes of the drawstring are to be. In the traditional Wayuu Mochila bags, the holes are just holes worked as part of the crochet. However I do love bits of hardware. And they do add something professional and delicious to any piece of work. So instead of just crocheted holes, I add grommets (large metal eyelets) for the drawstring (to be made later). [Read more…]
