What will you need for the 10-in-1 No Sew Foldable Crochet Fruit Market Bags Pattern LIVE Crochet Along?
Click the links below to see which materials I used exactly!
Worsted yarn:
Important to note about the yarn mentioned:
Whatever color is the OUTSIDE color of each fruit, will require 1 entire skein of that color.
e.g. kiwi has brown as the outside color, therefore that color will be the actual bag and will require 1 entire skein
- Premier Anti-Pilling (worsted)
- Mary Maxim Starelette (worsted)
- WeCrochet Brava (worsted)
Can I use a different yarn?
Yes, you can switch to a different yarn brand, even a different fiber if you prefer.
I recommend any worsted yarn for this project. Pick from your yarn stash if you can.
But it’s an ideal project as a yarn stash buster. Use leftover yarn if you have any. I would recommend sticking with either of my above recommendations.
What colors should I pick?
I recommend any of the mentioned solid colors.
Either stick with the colors I picked or pick your favorite colors for the fruit you’ll work on. Remember you will need 1 skein for some color and less for others.
Can I use a different hook size?
Yes, you can pick a different size. Just remember the pattern will be a bit smaller or larger unless you focus on the gauge provided.
