Crochet Mastery Unleashed- Elevate Your Projects with Faux Leather

Learn how to create designer looks by simply adding faux leather to your crochet projects! In this video I show you step-by-step how I made this adorable boho crochet bag by crocheting into faux leather squares, taking an otherwise ordinary motif crochet bag to extraordinary levels.
With just a few simple items from your local craft store, you can begin adding faux leather and vinyl materials to your crochet projects, from wearables to bags to crochet accessories and more. I have no doubt you will see the endless possibilities to create more projects using my simple method for crocheting into fabrics like faux leather!

Gauge:
Gauge is not imperative for this design, as this is based on a concept rather than exact stitches. If you would like to measure close to mine, my finished square prior to sewing the motifs together measures around 11.25 inches.
Finished Measurements:
Finished bag measures approx. 16 x 16 inches at the largest measurements, not including the handle. The handle measures approx. 16 inches in length, but is adjustable to preference.
