Crochet Small Coin Bags with Granny Squares, Keychains for Sankranti Gift, Special Sankranti Series

 

December, the year ending and in new year's January we have one and only one festival in India which occurse on fixed date (others in fixed Marathi day that is TITHI) and this festival is Sankranti which occures on 14th January. Married women offer small gift to some marries women which is called VAAN. 

Last year I made many videos of amigurumi videos as Keychains for Sankranti. But then I realise that ladies avoid to make single crochet designs as they take more time. They want to complete orders for Sankranti. Hence this year I made most of the Sankranti gifts by double crochets which my subscribers like most. Hence in this series of posts, you will find very simple designs which my followers can make easily in a large numer like 30-40 for Sankranti Gift.

I made some small purses for this purpose means to give it as a gift to your friends. Some are very small which can be used as Keychain. So here I will post these coin bags in special Sankranti Series.

These two patterns can be made by any granny square. Here I explain those which are seen in above photo. For bigger size just work out 3-4 rounds more, the pattern will be same. 

TYPE 1: In above phot brown, white and red. Very Small Used as Keychain (only in 3 rounds): Any color or properly we can say use any left over yarn. This is best use of yarn pieces which generally we have in ample.

Pattern: Col 1: R1: In magic loop. (dc3, ch1) 4 times, cl.

Join color 2 at any ch1-sp, R2: [(dc3, ch2, dc3) shell in ch1-sp, ch1] 4 times, cl.

Join col 3 at any ch2-sp, R3: [shell on shell, ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp, ch1] 4 times, cl.

Make two pieces and sew 3 sides by sc. 

Join yarn at the mid of one part of the open side. Make chs 50 and sew other end at the same place from where we start to make chs. The beautiful keychain is made so quickly.

TYPE 2: This granny is different made in pink color (5 rounds only)

R1: In magic loop, [4dc puff, ch3 (one ch to fix puff then 2 more)] 8 times, cl. Sl st in ch2-sp.

R2: [(4dc-puff, ch2, 4dc-puff) shell in ch2-sp, ch1, dc3 in next ch2-sp, ch1] 4 times, cl.

Later on I realised that I should have made ch1 after shell and after every dc3 made (which I had not made in video) So I think you can make it.

R3: [shell in ch3-sp of shell, ch1, dc1 in ch1-sp, dc1 in all dc-sts, dc1 in next ch1-gap, ch1] 4 times, cl.

Repeat rounf 3 as many times as you want to get perfect square. I made only upto R4 and R5.

Then make 2 pieces and join 3 sides by scs. In the middle of open side make a loop of chs 50 for holding the bag or for attaching keys.

The beautiful bag is ready. It will look as in picture 1 above.
