CP68 - The Any Accessory Bag

While I love making plush toys... 

my true passion is making functional crochet items.
So I love it when I can combine the fun of the toys, with the functionality of something else...

Any Accessory Bag

Body of Bag: (Make 1)
with color of choice (Flame used for BHR Pumpkin Bag/ Lavender for BHR Frank Bag),
Chain 19,
___ ROW 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea of nxt 17 chs, TURN (18 sts)
___ ROWS 2-66: sc in ea st across, TURN  (18 sts/ea row)
___ ROW 67: sc in nxt st, Dec nxt 2 sts tog, sc in ea of nxt 12 sts, Dec nxt 2 sts tog, sc in nxt st, TURN  (16 sts)

Finish off.  Secure and weave in tail to hide.

Side of Bag: (Make 2)
with color of choice (Spring Green used for BHR Pumpkin Bag/ Cafe Latte for BHR Frank Bag),
Chain 10,
___ ROW 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea of nxt 8 chs, TURN (9 sts)
___ ROWS 2-20: sc in ea st across, TURN  (9 sts/ea row)
___ ROW 21: sc in nxt st, Dec nxt 2 sts tog, sc in ea of nxt 3 sts, Dec nxt 2 sts tog, sc in nxt st, TURN  (7 sts) 
___ ROW 22: sc in ea st across, TURN  (7 sts)
___ ROW 23: sc in ea of nxt 3 sts, Dec nxt 2 sts tog, sc in ea of nxt 2 sts, TURN  (6 sts)
___ ROW 24: sc in ea st across  (6 sts)
Finish off, leaving sufficient tail remaining to secure Side of Bag to Body of Bag. See "Assembly" below.

Assembly:
Visual - the Body of Bag is going to almost 'envelope' itself.
So on a good surface, lay out your Body of Bag with the wrong side face up and beginning at the widest corner (Row 1 - the outside st of the first Inc made during Row/Rnd 72), place a pin to mark what will be the top edge of front of bag that meets the side - then work working towards the opposite end of the piece, count 23 more sts and mark this st (this will be your inside lower side front corner), count 10 more sts and mark this st (this will be your inside lower back corner), count your final 23 sts and mark this st.
Place a side piece in the area where the "9 sts" are between the pins and you are ready to being sewing your bag together.

Once side one is done - repeat the process with the 2nd Side of Bag piece you made.
You can use whichever stitch you are most comfortable working with.  The model bag uses the common 'whipstitch'.

Strap: (Make 1)
with color of choice (Cafe Latte used for BHR Pumpkin Bag/ Black for BHR Frank Bag),

Chain 121,
___ ROW 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea of nxt 119 chs, TURN (120 sts)
___ ROWS 2-10: sc in ea st across, TURN  (120 sts/ea row)
___ ROW/Rnd 11: Fold in half lengthwise (so you have 6 rows of 120 sts) and working through both Row 1 and 10, sc in ea st across, rotate allowing you to work in side of Rows, sc the opening closed by working through both sides, - rotate again, this side is a little more challenging - sc in ea st along the 'fold' before rotating a final time to close up the opposite end of open rows.
Finish off, leaving sufficient tail remaining to secure Strap to side of Bag.
Model's Straps are 16 Rnds from bottom - but you can adjust where to join based on your individual needs.

OPTIONAL Insert: (Make 1) Measure and place a piece of cardboard inside before closing completely - I did not 'attach' mine to bottom of bag - however, should you wish to, attach with same color of bag
with color of choice (Flame used for BHR Pumpkin Bag/ Lavender for BHR Frank Bag),

Chain 45,
___ ROW 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea of nxt 43 chs, TURN (44 sts)
___ ROWS 2-6: sc in ea st across, TURN  (44 sts/ea row)
___ ROW/Rnd 7: Fold in half (so you have 6 rows of 22 sts) and working through both sides, sc in ea st across, rotate this side is a little more challenging - sc in ea st along the 'fold', rotate again, working on opposite side sc the 2 halves together, before rotating a final time to close up the opposite end of open rows. 
Finish off.  Secure and weave in tail to hide or leave tail to secure to inside bottom of bag.

Individual Bags:

for Pumpkin Bag:
Secure the Straps to sides of your bag and add your buttons to each side of the bag.   
Add some detail striping if desired using embroidery, slipstitches or surface stitches;

before securing your completed Pumpkin from the BHR Pumpkin pattern to the Bag flap.

for Frank Bag: 
Frank needed a "Body" to go with his Head so a little more crocheting.

Body:

CP67 - Love Those Hooters

On this, the final day of FDbyK4TT helping to spread awareness for this year's Breast Cancer Awareness Month; I would be remiss if I didn't share with my readers the most valuable information for breast health.

Not only good diet, healthy habits and regular Mammograms (beginning at age 30 and regularly, once a year, every year there after), but also 'self-checks' MONTHLY.

The link contained within, will help you to provide the best methods for detecting concerns in the breast.  

Perhaps the most important part of Breast Cancer Awareness Month is not the pretense of saying "hey.. did you know this disease exists" - but to set a 'clock of sorts', to remind everyone to take a single day every October - to check yourself and make sure you are doing all you can to prevent or detect Breast Cancer.
The more you know about your own body - the more likely you are to detect disease early enough to have a positive outcome.

CP66 - Boo - Bees Done & Dusted

Edited : Have to give a shout out to my Aussie Facebook Friend, Lynette Brown, who provided a much better name for these two... 
Thank you so much Lynette, for the giggle last night!

We CAN celebrate Halloween, while also spreading Breast Cancer Awareness... with just a little bit of "creative thinking".
These little guys are essentially modifications to Ay & Zhe to create the BOO BEES. ("boobies" as breasts are often called by young children) Little Bumble Bees dressed up as ghosts.  I thought it would also look really cute in a light pink, but thought about it after the fact.

But in sharing the awareness & the holiday, there are some important facts to remember about Breast Cancer.  While breast cancer is not preventable; you can lower your risks with lifestyle modifications.  The more you know about the disease, the more likely you are to seek treatment and have a greater chance of beating Breast Cancer!

CP63 - An 8 Legged Little Nope

My daughter has a love of nearly all creatures, INCLUDING 'nopes'. 
For those who are unfamiliar with the term Nope in relation to a creature.. there are quite a few....

a Fuzzy Flying Nope - is a honey bee
there's the Fluffy Fat Nope - a bumble bee..

But a NOPE can be any bug really!!  Why call it a nope?.. well, because when you go to reach for something and you see a certain bug(s) in the general area - most people yank their hand back and say "nope!"

And then there are, 'cute' little nopes...  like this guy who wants to help celebrate Halloween with you this year!
