Crochet Granny Square Waffle Stitch

I think this is a perfect granny square as it combines two most favorite iconic crochet features, Granny square and waffle stitch. Granny squares are really versatile and can be used in various crochet projects. Crochet waffle stitch is so beautiful, and it combines work of two rows. One row is on one side, and then you switch to the other side.  I started with magic ring but instead of magic ring you can use chain of 5 and slip stitch into a circle. The corner is different on one side ( 2 double crochet, chain 1, 2 double crochet), on the other side ( 1 double crochet, chain 1, 1 double crochet). For these squares I used cotton and 3.5 mm crochet hook, but you can use whatever yarn and a matchable hook size.  Here the video tutorial:

Have you ever thought of crocheting a bag? Crochet bags are very popular nowadays.  You can crochet them with variety of different types of yarn, cords and etc. I am going to share with you extremely beautiful and easy to make shoulder bag.  This bag can be crochet even without lining later as it has no big wholes thanks to very indicative pattern that reminds macrame style bags.  I used Barbante cotton yarn and crochet hook 5 mm. You can actually crochet with any hook size and any yarn. If you use thinner yarn then you must chain more to get the same size of my bag. Measurements of the bag: 20*17cm The length of shoulder strap is 100 cm, but depends on your personal preferences. You can customize the size if the bag.  Instead of button, you can attach the zipper or any other bag lock system of your choice. Here the video tutorial:
