Mini Gift bag / Credit card pouch

This is my own design, one of our friend's 80th b'day tomorrow. As the wife appreciates handwork, by seeing it, she'll know that it is only me who has given it ! I always like my gift to be unique.

I think I made a ch. of 25,in the 2nd chain made sc, then sc till the last sc, made 3 sc in the last one, then continue doing sc on the other side, ending with 2 sc in the last one, join
2 Row- 2 sc, sc till the corner, make 3 sc, continue with sc till the end, join to 1st sc
3rd Row, do sc only in the back loop for this row
4 Row, sc all around in both loops till the size you want.
Then for folding, I made sl st over 5 sc, then sc, leaving the last 5 sc then made sc in each sc till the desired length, in the last row counted the stitches, then sc I think for 5, then made a loop of 3/4 ch for the button, then sc in the remaining st.

Hope the pattern is clear, in case of any doubt, pl. free to msg. In case you want a bigger bag, continue to make bigger chain the desired length, then continue in the same way, for a bigger bag, for base, do sc around for 4 rows, then sc on the backloop for 1 row, then sc continue like above.

You can use this for keeping your credit cards too !

Rectangle and round luggage tags

Though I saw some beautiful tags, wanted to make something simpler, but still easily identifiable at the airport. At times, since the staff who manage to put the luggage and take it out, are also over-worked and handle bit carelessly, so we've lost the lock, handle of our strollers. So, wanted to make something not too fancy, to catch someone's eyes, but still has utility value.

for the rectangle tag
I crocheted 15 ch
sc from 2nd ch till the last ch, it makes it 14 sc
turn 1 ch, sc over sc till the end
Then I made 4 rows, then thought it was a bit long, so folded in half, made sc around over both loops on the sides, all around ( 3 sides), then made a ch with 30 sc, sl st in the side, FO, putting the thread in the sides.
note- you can make the ch, according to the length that you need, it depends on the thread that you use.

Breast prosthetic

We're a group of ladies making breast prosthetic for breast cancer patients with crochet or knitting. I do it with crochet, with cotton thread and filling it with polyfil. Those ladies who have used it are very happy, as it is soft, light, comfortable without any skin reaction, washable too. Anyone who needs it in India are free to contact me. We are making it according to the person's required size.
