Mini Fleuri

[crosette]

OK....This may be the cutest thing I've ever made :D It's a mini Fleuri Bag (http://www.crochetme.com/Feb_Mar_2005/patt_fleuri.html). I used RHSS yarn and an H hook. The handles are 3" craft rings I found at Walmart for like 28 cents each (I dunno what they're supposed to be used for). It only took me ~1.5 hrs to make and I love it. :yay

[TepperWear]

That is so cute. I have to make one of those. Probably in the regular size though. I love it. Isn't great when you find a pattern that you love so much.

Hehe...It's not for me! I made it for my SIL's cousin's daughter...she's 5 :D I'm gonna make a poncho to match...dunno what pattern I'm going to use though.

[Kymberlina]

Very cute! :yay

[sem464]

That is tooooo cute! :c9 I am going to have to make one for my daughter before she comes home from her band trip. Thank goodness that is not untill Sunday!

[Julie]

How cute!! :heart

Crosette your little bag is so cute! I just emailed this thread to the fleuri bag designer. I'm sure she'd get a kick out of it.

[PJ]

Oh, that is precious. Just the right size for a 5 yr old...room for Chapstick (my younger SD is obsessed with it) and candy. :)

That looks great! I love the idea. I really want to do some little ones in white or pink for flower girl or bridesmaid purses, but I don't know anyone getting married! Yours turned out adorable and it was so quick! Talk about a quickie stashbuster! Good job.
Thanks Celeste for letting me know! I haven't been keeping up with all the boards lately, too busy hookin'.

That's toooo cute!! :manyheart

[dur30cat]

Looks great! The original pattern didn't jump at me; perhaps due to the plain color but your variegated version looks great!

[Tiffany]

That is too cute!! I see myself making one for my daughter! :)

[Captain Hook]

Omigosh! I love love love it! It's so adorable. I must make one for myself. Dramatic, though... purple chenille or some such, with the large brass hoops. Mmm. Thank you so much for the link!

I'm working on a very simple poncho (http://www.medidit.com/free/apon.html) right now for my mom. But it hangs beautifully and is very versitile, you could easily reduce the size for a young child and do any colors, stitches, or pattern you wanted. I don't know what the little girl in question is like, but I remember that as a child I hated being given cutesy stuff with pompoms and such, I liked grown-up looking clothes. This would have been the poncho for me.

I love variegated yarn. I used to hate it...until I used it. :P Now I'm always on the lookout for cool variegated yarns!

Thanks for the pattern link. I've already started on the poncho, though. I decided to make a two-rectangle poncho and since the rectangle size for her size was 12"x24" I'm making 4 12" squares and then sewing them together. I should have it done in a couple days (sooo many WIPs:P ) and then I'll post pics of it.

Just wanted to say thanks for all your comments....really gives me a boost and makes me want to keep on hookin'. :hook

[faithpa76]

That is adorable!! What a cute bag!

Oh, okay. I probably should have realized that. :blush My next poncho will probably be constructed the same way. I will be on the lookout for the photo! :) That should be a super-cute set. She'll love it!

[gingerchai]

nice colors, very cute!

[2goofy]

Baby, that is the most adorable thing i've ever seen!:yay

[YaYa Yarnhood]

Very cute!

[Kathleen]

Very cute! That little girl is going to love it!-- and a poncho to match..? She'll be stylin'!

[Brandywyne13]

This is way too cute. I looked at the pattern and marked it but to be honest it intimidated me. If you plan on making some for sale let me know. I have a granddaughter who is just 14months, but at the rate she is going, she would love one to carry around her favorite binky and what not. Such a wonderful job.:cheer

[yarncat]

That bag is soooo cute!!

[craftybutterfly]

I LOVE THIS!!! i gotta make this one.:yay

[pbnj]

what a cute idea, it looks great!! :D

[mimi_mia]

Oh my God, that is absolutely gorgeous!! I think the metal rings used to be used for macrame, even though I don't know what they would be used for now other than handy dandy handles for a mini fleuri bag !!!!:cheer :hook :c9

[tguzman]

Very CuteI need to make one of those ... my daughter would just love it .. :cheer
