Mochila with Marion stitch left handed

The Marion stitch creates beautiful horizontal lines across the Mochila stitches, adding a stylish texture to your project.
I recommend working the Marion stitch over just one or two Mochila stitches at a time.
If you extend it over more stitches, the yarns might catch on the raised threads, which could damage your bag over time.
Using the Marion stitch carefully adds a lovely decorative detail while keeping your Mochila sturdy and practical.

The perfect way to crochet a mandala in a ring left handed

There are several ways to crochet a mandala in a ring. With the most common method, you’ll notice a ridge on the outside edge of the ring—this ridge is actually the top of the single crochet stitches. Personally, I didn’t want this ridge to show on the front of my mandala, so I experimented with a few different techniques.
In this video, I show you my favorite method. By changing the way you crochet around the ring, you can move the ridge to the back side of the mandala instead of the front. This gives your mandala a much smoother and neater finish when displayed.
