I’m springing into summer with a new pattern and lots of new changes. My Summer Breeze Shawl is just what you need on your empty hook! Perfect for weddings, cool summer evenings or wrap around sarong! Made with Lion Brand Mandala Baby yarn in Pixie Hollow is extraordinary as it creates this beautiful colorway in this triangular shawl. It’s a ten row repeat pattern and uses many different stitches making it more of an intermediate pattern but with the video tutorial anyone can do it! Give it a try today!!
Follow along with this video tutorial to learn how to make this shawl:
My dad will continue to be the videographer, editor, and photographer for our videos even if we don’t live together.
Support YARNutopia today so we can continue to bring you clear, quality crochet tutorials even after I move into my new home!
There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.

The Mystery Medley Tote Bag was the outcome of the mystery crochet along that was sponsored by Nicki (from Nicki’s Homemade Crafts) and myself.
Every few days a new piece of the pattern was released out of order and the final assembly revealed this awesome tote bag!
If you could not participate in the MCAL, but still want to make the bag, here is the pattern. You can follow along on all parts to complete the bag on your own. This tote is roomy enough for an overnight bag or yarn bag, yet convenient to carry around as a handbag! So versatile!
If you make this bag, share a photo on Instagram and hashtag #MCALNN so we can see your Mystery Medley Tote Bag!

To follow this pattern, you will need general and beginner-friendly knowledge of basic crochet stitches. Video tutorials will be provided for every part
GAUGE is NOT important, BUT measurements will be! PLEASE MEASURE!
This bag is approximately 16 inches wide and 12 inches tall. It is very spacious!
Special stitches:
Ch(s): chain(s)
St(s): Stitch(es)
Sl st: slip stitch
SK: Skip
WS: Wrong Side (Back of square)
RS: Right Side (Front of Square
SC: Single Crochet
DC: Double Crochet
FPDC: Front Post Double Crochet
BPDC: Back Post Double Crochet
ATC: Alternate Turning Chain (if you cannot do this, simply Chain 3, and that should be sufficient)
This part of the bag was designed and made by Nicki. She filmed a tutorial which you can find HERE.
**Make 6 Triangles**
Start with a color you only have ONE skein of.
I picked Caution Yellow (Nicki’s image above shows color Freesia)
Each triangle has the dimensions 7.5 x 5.5 (if stretched it could also be 6 inches). Try to make sure your measurements match that.
The triangle is made in rows and finished off with 1 row (just one edge) of single crochet stitches. All atc’s are the height of a tr (so 3 stacked sc’s) which are counted as a stitch.
Row 1: 1 atc, 3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc, 1 tr, turn, close the magic ring
Row 2: [1 atc, 2 dc] all on top of the tr from the previous row, 1 dc on top of each dc from the previous row, until you reach the tr from previous row, place [2 dc’s, 1 tr, 2 dc’s] on top of the tr from previous row, 1 dc on top of each dc from the previous row, until you reach the last stitch, place [2 dc’s and 1 tr] on top of that last stitch, turn
Rows 3 – 5: repeat R2
Once you have finished the last row, simply crochet evenly 24 sc’s across the long side of the triangle (where the edges of the rows are).
This part of the bag was designed by me, Nadia, from YARNutopia. I filmed a video tutorial which you can find HERE.
Make 6 Triangles
Use a color that you have ONE skein of
I picked Marina
Each triangle has the dimensions 7.5 (long side) x 5.5 (both short sides) (if stretched it could also be 6 inches). Try to make sure your measurements match that.
Start with a Magic Ring (or Ch 4, sl st in first ch to form a ring)
Row 2: SC in first SC, Ch 1, [SC, Ch 2, SC] in ch 2 sp, Ch 1, SC in last st, Ch 1, Turn.
Row 3: SC in first st, Ch 1, SC in next Ch 1 Sp, Ch 1, [SC, Ch 2, SC] in Ch 2 sp, Ch 1, SC in next Ch 1 sp, Ch 1, SC in last st, Ch 1, Turn.
Row 4: SC in first st, *Ch 1, SC in next ch sp, repeat from * until Ch 2 sp, Ch 1, [SC, Ch 2, SC] in ch 2 sp, **Ch 1, SC in next ch 1 sp, repeat from ** until last st, Ch 1, and SC in last St. Ch 1, Turn.
Rows 5-14: Repeat Row 4
when your triangle is big enough, SC along the LONG side of your triangle 24 sts evenly. Fasten off and weave in all your ends.
This part of the bag was designed and made by Nicki. She filmed a tutorial which you can find HERE
**Make 1 rectangle**
Crochet with a color you have TWO skeins of. But you will likely use only one of the skeins for this rectangle. Nicki used the color Mulberry in the photo above, I used Asphalt Heather for mine.
The rectangle needs to measure 7.5 x 15 inches at the end.
Remember, measurement is more important than row or stitch count!
Ch 53
Row 1: starting from the 2nd ch, 1 thermal stitch in each ch, turn
Rows 2-46: ch 1, 1 thermal stitch in each st, turn
*remember that you need to count each side to know the full number of rows
*If you need to do more or less rows to get the measurement correctly, then do that.
This part of the bag was designed by me, Nadia, from YARNutopia. I filmed a video tutorial which you can find HERE.
**Make 6 squares**
Crochet with a color you only have TWO of (not the same as the rectangle).
I used the color Fairy Tale (used a little more than 1 skein). The squares need to measure 5.5 x 5.5 inches at the end.
Magic ring or Ch 4, Sl st to first ch to form a ring.
(RS) Rnd 1: Ch up 3 (Counts as DC), 2 DC into ring, [Ch 2, 3 DC into ring] 3 times, Ch 2, sl st to beg ch up 3 st, ch 1, do NOT turn.
(RS) Rnd 2: FPDC on first st, *DC in next, FPDC on next, [2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC] in corner, FPDC on next st, repeat from * around, ending with corner sts, Sl st to first FPDC, ch 1, TURN.
(WS) Rnd 3: DC in same st you sl st’d into, [BPDC on next st, DC in next st] until corner, *[2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC] in corner, [DC in next st, BPDC on next st] until corner, repeat from * around, ending with BPDC on last st, Sl st to 1st DC. Ch 1. Do NOT turn.
(WS) Rnd 4: BPDC on same st you sl st’d to, [DC on next st, BPDC on next st] until corner, *[2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC] in corner, [BPDC on next st, DC on next st] until next corner, repeat from * around, ending with DC in last st, Sl st to 1st BPDC, ch 1, turn. (if your square is large enough at this point, just skip round 5 and work a single crochet round like round 6 – just be sure to SC around while looking at the RS of your work)
(RS) Rnd 5: DC in same st you sl st’d into, [FPDC on next st, DC in next st] until corner, *[2 DC, Ch 2, 2 DC] in corner, [DC in next st, FPDC on next st] until next corner, Repeat from * around, ending with FPDC on last st, sl st to 1st DC, ch 1, do NOT turn.
(RS) Rnd 6: SC around entire square putting [2 sc, Ch 2, 2 SC] in each corner, sl st to first SC. Fasten off. Weave in all your ends.
This part of the bag was designed by me, Nadia, from YARNutopia. I filmed a video tutorial which you can find HERE.
If you have any confusion or difficulty with reading this pattern, please watch the video tutorial to have visual instructions.
**Make 2 Straps**
Start with a long strand of yarn for sewing before making your slip knot.
Round 1: Ch 12 (or any number that is double the width of the strap you would like), SC in the first ch to form a ring and continue to SC around the whole chain (12)
Work in continuous rounds
Rnds 2-50: SC in each st around
(you can make your strap shorter by doing less rounds or longer by doing more rounds depending on your liking)
Attaching the triangles, squares, and rectangle:
Using your rectangle as the base, you will sew that on last.
Line up your squares as diamonds and place the triangles with their short sides touching the squares and their long sides facing out. (See video tutorial for visual instructions)
Using the Single Crochet method, Single crochet your pieces together in a zig-zag direction. When all your squares and triangles are attached, line up the rectangle to the bottom and single crochet around the whole piece attaching it to your triangles.
Top Brim: Single crochet around the whole top of the bag, Continue to SC around the top of the bag until your height is what you want the bag to be. I did 10 rounds around the top of the bag.
Sew your straps on the inside of the bag for a more sturdy hold.
Add a button and a loop to clasp onto the button (optional)
