Product Description
The Worker Bee Bag is a whimsical, textural bag inspired by Laurie R. King’s The Beekeeper’s Apprentice. Filet crochet is used to create a beehive filled with honey, larvae and a small cadre of worker bees.
--
The bag’s exterior and liner are crocheted in one, continuous piece before a square pocket is crocheted and seamed to the liner portion of the bag. To finish the bag, the liner is drawn inside the bag and handles are added by whatever method you prefer.
The pattern was designed to leave you with ~35g (94 yds) of yarn once the bag interior, exterior and pocket are complete. That extra yarn may be used to create handles, but if you’re using other handles, a bonus pattern is included, the Worker Bee Clutch, a hexagonal pouch inspired by the Bag’s design that can be made with your remaining yarn.
There are four video tutorials available that may help you successfully crochet the Worker Bee Bag, all of which are accessible with the purchase of this pattern.
