The Augenia Boho Bag

The Augenia Boho Bag is a drawstring bag with some fancy stitches like popcorns and front and back post stitches to add some interest

It is fully lined, to add strength to the bag, and has ribbon to create the draw string (But you could use anything you like here)

I will be hosting this CAL for the "Crochet-A-Long with Us!" Facebook group crew starting on Tuesday, October 1st, 2024.  If you would like to join in, you can either join the group or follow along here.

The pattern will be available to buy through Ravelry at half price during the CAL. The normal price will be AU$7. But during the CAL it will be AU$3.50.  This is less than a cup of coffee

Note: Ravelry will adjust the price to your country for you

There will be 4 parts to this pattern. each new part will be released on a Tuesday, approximately 8PM, Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST)

Week 1- October 1st: you will learn to make the base

Week 2- October 8th: you will learn to do the pattern up to round 31

Week 3- October 15th: will be the rest of the crochet parts

Week 4- October 22nd:  you will learn to sew the lining

By the end of the 4th week you will have a fully finished bag

 My websites and blog, have been neglected for a while

I'm too eager to create, and not so much to write or update sites

I've since discovered that there are many errors in my websites. So these will be fixed up and changed
