Here is one more bag made with Granny Hexagons. Actually this is very old design but evergreen, so I want to make it. I made this with little change in granny hexagon and border. I made belt with Tunisian crochet.
Yarn 4 ply, hook 3.5 mm Width 9” height 6”, till belt 8”.
Weight 50 gm.
R1: With orange yarn, in a magic loop make (3dctog, ch2) 6
times, cl.
For 3dctog: incomplete dc 3, YO pass through all 4 sts, ch1
to fix it.
R2: Join green yarn at any ch2-sp, [(3dctog, ch2, 3dctog) (shell) in ch2-sp, ch2] 6 times, cl, BO.
R3: Join light yellow in ch2-sp of shell, [(shell on shell,
ch2, 3dctog in next ch2-sp] 6 times, cl BO.
Join reddish yarn at ch2-sp of shell.
R4: [(dc2, ch2, dc2) in ch2-sp, (dc 3 in next ch2-sp) twice]
6 times, cl, BO.
Make 7 hexagons.
Join 5 hexagons one side of each with central hexagon by sl
st as shown by white lines.
Then join two sides of each two hexagons as shown A and B points along the side of hexagon and the join side BC with BD. All five hexagons in the same way.
It will look as
3 D pot. Then take the last hexagon and join it’s 5 sides with one side of each hexagon already joint along the 5 sides of remaining hexagon shown by white lines.
Then also make sl st border to the open sides.
Belt is made by Tunisian crochet. You can also make it by
simple single crochet rows.
Make chs 6+1
R1: sc 1 in each ch from second.
R2: Get 1 st from each sc-st on hook, there are 7 sts on
hook.
R3: YO pass through 1 st,( YO pass through 2 sts) rep till
there is only one st.
R4: Get one st from each vertical strand seen which we call
stitches in Tunisian crochet. 7 sts on hook
Repeat R3 and R$ till the required length.
The beautiful bag is ready.

You can make
this small bag in double crochet so that it will be made fast and still
beautiful. But the advantage of making bag in single crochet is it remains
stiff that that od double crochet bag.
Pattern for
double crochet bag:
R1: In magic
loop dc 16, cl
R2: dc2 in
each st, cl (32)
R3: (dc1,
dc2 in next) 16 times, cl (48).
Number of
base sts is same as above pattern in sc.
R4: same as
R7 above
R5: same as
R8 above.
R5: same as
R9 above.
R6 to R11:
dc1 in back loop of each st, cl (48)
R12 Join as
above then flap also I have made as above in scs.
It is more
simple quickly made so those who made it for order, this one is profitable.
The advantage of making the bag in sc design is that it remains stiff.

Hope you all are doing well. Here is my new creation of old type hanging lantern or hanging lamp.
I made two types of these lantern first, that is Grey and white is hexagonal and second, that is Pink and blue which is pentagonal. One more difference is in first the grey vertical lines on white fpdcs are made externally where in second pink vertical lines are worked in round while working the middle portion.
Yarn Vardhamaan Millenium 4 ply, Hook 3.5 mm.
Height 10” weight 60 gm.
Pattern for Hexagonal lamp:
Round 1: Magic loop, dc12, cl. (First dc means ch3)
R2: (dc1, fpdc 1) 6 times, cl.
R3: (dc2 in dc-st, fpdc on fpdc) 6 times, cl.
R4: (dc2 in first dc-st, dc 1 in remaining 1 st, fpdc on
fpdc) 6 times, cl.
R5: (dc2 in first dc-st, dc 1 in remaining 2, fpdc on fpdc)
6 times, cl.
R6: (dc2 in first dc-st, dc 1 in remaining 3, fpdc on fpdc)
6 times, cl.
R7: (dc2 in first dc-st, dc 1 in remaining 4, fpdc on fpdc)
6 times, cl.
R8: (dc2 in first dc-st, dc 1 in remaining 5, fpdc on fpdc)
6 times, cl.
R9: (dc2 in first dc-st, dc 1 in remaining 6, fpdc on fpdc)
6 times, cl. BO.
Here we get 8dcs in between two fpdcs.
Now join white yarn one round down, at back side loop of first st after any
fpdc-st.
R10: dc 1 in each st, cl.
R11: (dc1 in 8 sts, fpdc in next) 6 times, cl.
R12: (2dctog, dc1 in 6 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl
R13: (dc1 in 7 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl.
R14: (2dctog, dc1 in 5 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl
R15: (dc1 in 6 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl.
R16: (2dctog, dc1 in 4 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl
R17: (dc1 in 5 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl
R18: (2dctog, dc1 in 3 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl
R19: (dc1 in 4 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl
R20: (2dctog, dc1 in 2 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl
R21: (dc1 in 3 sts, fpdc) 6 times, cl (24 sts)
Edge at fpdc: Join grey yarn at lower end of fpdc line.
Row 1: ch1, long sl st in each st toward up, last sl st in
grey round’s st. Then remove hook from yarn, TURN, insert on back side and get the loop on this side.
Again long sl st toward lower end, cl.
Repeat this to all six edges of fpdcs.
Now join grey yarn at any dc after fpdc.
Round 22: Front post half double crochet (fphdc) in each dc and
fpdcs.
R23: fphdc in each st, cl.
R24: 2dctog, throughout, cl (12 sts).
R25, R26: ch1, sc1 in each st, cl.
R27: (6dctog) 2 times, cl by sl st in first.
Then make loop to hang by chs 20+1, sc1 in each ch from
second ch. Sew properly.
Also decorate it by beads and Latkans as you wish.
The beautiful Hanging Lantern is ready.
Then I made one more which I start with 10 dcs in a magic loop and hence it's pentagonal shape. One more change I made in this is that instead of working these grey colour vertical borders to each fpdc, I change the colour while working fpdc in round and hence got another beautiful Pentagonal Lantern as in next photo.
I hope that you would like both of them and you will make them.
