Hello,
You will only use 1 size hook for this pattern. The 4.25mm hook. The G/6- that is listed first is another way to tell the size of the 4.25mm hook. Hook sizing can get so confusing, I hope this helps!

I see you have 4.25-6mm listed… I can’t find instructions in the pattern that instruct on which hook to use… are we to switch between hooks when working on the bag?

Hello!
The raffia isn’t as soft as regular yarn but I didn’t have sore hands at all after making the bag. The texture of the raffia is like a silky paper. If you’ve crocheted with jute, you know that’s hard on the hands. The raffia is nothing like that.
I hope this helps!

Great idea Leah! Thanks for sharing this tip. I’m always losing my keys in the bottom of my purse. Extra compartments are a good thing!

Stay cozy,
Sierra

With an additional rectangle and circle, you can make a 2 compartments bag.
I dont like everything in one compartment so always make 2 for better organization.

Hi Bonnie,
I haven’t tried making a bag with that yarn. I think it would turn out sturdy and of course SOFT! A rug would be a fun option too. Or I have a pattern for a bath scrubbie that uses the blanket yarn. I’m sure she’ll love whatever you choose.
Stay cozy,
Sierra

My granddaughter wants me to make something using bernat blanket yarn for her, but she lives in South Florida and doesn’t want a blanket.
