Bag love

As is well known, handicrafts always go. Sometimes you just have to adjust the projects a bit to suit the current weather. Perfect for the summer are bags, for example. They are knitted quickly, are super suitable as a vacation project and are often knitted with natural fibers such as linen or cotton, which glide quickly over needles and hands in hot temperatures.

Learn crochet on the fly

Anyone looking for beautiful bags often realizes: Oops, only one needle is used. That's right - a crochet hook. At the same time, these projects are perfect for practicing crocheting chain stitches, single crochets or double crochets.

If you want to take a trip into the realm of crocheters, you should follow the pattern by Susanne Müller alias Paula_m. She crochets just as well as she knits and has created several pattern. These include the SIENA bag and the BERTRAND bag, for example. Susanne's pattern are suitable for beginners as they are very detailed and often illustrated.

Also crocheted, but completely different, is the fine stitch Icaba Bag made from Ica by Lamana. Thanks to two different sizes and support on how you can adapt it to your needs, it leaves nothing to be desired. There is room for shells and Pixie books or sun cream, summer reading and a beach towel.
The crochet bag also offers a great opportunity to spice it up according to your own ideas. If you like, you can embroider it with some leftover yarn, for example. There are (almost) no limits to the possibilities.

Practical and spacious

Who doesn't know that: When you are on vacation, one or the other souvenir wanders along. Or the local market would like to be visited to be inspired for the dinner in the vacation cottage or best directly stock up.

Spacious bags are recommended to ensure that everything is safely stowed away.

But rather knitting?

You prefer knitting to crocheting? No problem! Knitwear designers are also bringing out more and more diverse bag designs. One more beautiful than the other, I can tell you! One example is PetiteKnit. The Danish designer has created the Florence Bag, a small shoulder bag that you can use for a walk on the beach or a visit to a café. We in the Maschenfein team are big fans of this little space miracle.

If you prefer something more timeless, you will of course also find what you are looking for at Maschenfein. For example, you can crochet the EMILE bag, whose classic design was once again created by Susanne aka Paula_m. Her LUZIE bag is also a classic companion that works well all year round.

The right accessories

At Maschenfein you can get inspiration and wool kits as well as the right accessories. To get started, we recommend buying individual needles to check whether the shape and material suit you. Advanced crocheters and knitters can invest in sets, which can of course be continually expanded.

And if it should be something ready-made ...

... of course Maschenfein also has a solution! You can find many beautiful accessory and project bags in the store. Not only do they look pretty, they are also practical. With the Kaliko Zipper project bags, you can not only store wool safely, but also use the bag for cosmetics or other little helpers. The large Recycled Shopper from Muud will also get you through any weekly market shopping and if there's a bit more to carry, the Makers Backpack from Twig & Horn will help. The Project Bag M from Minuk has a special trick up its sleeve: it can also be carried over the shoulder with an additional shoulder strap.
