Colourful, functional and fun – these striking crocheted Wayuu bags have the best combination of features! Using the technique of tapestry crochet, there are ten stunning bags to make, all in excitingly bold colourways and designs, with the characteristic woven shoulder straps and drawstring cords. Some of the bags are also embellished with pompoms and tassels. Using the traditional geometric patterns and shapes of the Colombian and Venezuelan Wayuu people, each bag is unique and you can make them in your own choice of colours. Tapestry crochet uses just one crochet stitch and is an easy technique to learn, and a section at the end of the book shows you how to make the beautifully braided straps and drawstrings. The braided straps could also easily be made on their own as trendy belts for trousers and skirts. Using very simple stitches, with easy-to-follow patterns and widely available 100% cotton yarns, these bags are too beautiful to resist - so pick up your yarn and hook and get started! Review: Splendid book - Really good book, clear instructions and designs too die for. Such fun bags look good anywhere, on the beach, an evening meal, a briss, a funeral. There is nowhere these bags are a problem. Apart from the snipers on the ridge, the bags stick out like giant polystyrene arrows Review: Beautiful - Beautiful bags and instructions excellent

Splendid book
Really good book, clear instructions and designs too die for. Such fun bags look good anywhere, on the beach, an evening meal, a briss, a funeral. There is nowhere these bags are a problem. Apart from the snipers on the ridge, the bags stick out like giant polystyrene arrows

Fantastic easy to follow tapestry crochet book.
I have made two of the tapestry crochet bags following patterns in this book, one for my sister and one for a friend, and then gone on to create my own using the principles outlined. Highly recommended and easy to follow.

More than just crochet
Several patterns, easy to follow instructions, even includes instructions for making cord and flat handles to exactly colour match the bags. I imagine it will be easy to follow even for those relatively new to crochet. People who are already good at the craft will probably build their own projects based on what they learn reading the patterns. Really useful resource and nicely written.

Excellent explanations of crochet.
I have never managed to learn to follow charts or even patterns properly until this book. It is much more than a book of bags. To be honest the bags are all similar just different designs but the explanations of how to crochet make it worth while. I didn't know there were different ways of making the stitches but there are and even which way you pick up the thread changes the look of the stitch. All this is explained and for the first time I was able to produce something that actually looked like the photograph. In addition her explanations of how the make the handles and cords are worth the book in themselves. If you don't know what split ply braiding is you will after reading this. It is worth it for the explanations of how to form the stitches and what a difference the direction of pick up can make and the handles to finish the bags.

Good book
A good book, I’m still reading it and I’m following instructions carefully. I do find that it’s a bit tricky though to get the stitches correct.

Livre sur le crochet de sacs Wayuu
Très beau livre pour débuter le crochet de sac. Un 1er petit modèle est présenté pour s'entraîner avant de se lancer dans la confection de grands sacs. Pour ceux qui comprennent l'anglais.
