Always Lovable Bag was made as the original of the Always Lovable collection, out of a wish to give leftover yarn and surplus materials a new and worthy life. The organic colour stripes and the wavy frill edge come from the thought that nothing has to be perfectly symmetrical to be beautiful – just like nature itself.

The Always Lovable Collection is CosyMonday's tribute to slow fashion, creativity and good craft. The collection was made to give new life to leftover yarn, surplus yarn and fine materials that deserve a new story.

Every project is an invitation to make something personal. Small variations in yarn, texture and colour mean that no two designs turn out the same – and that is part of the collection's identity.

The bag is crocheted with double yarn to give a stable but soft result. The original model combines different yarn qualities that create interesting textures and colour play.

You can follow the yarn choices of the original or put together your own unique combination of leftover or surplus yarn – from Garnspesialisten, for example. Small variations are a natural part of the design and make every bag personal.

Always Lovable Bag is crocheted in panels that are assembled into a roomy bag. The flap finishes with the characteristic wavy frill edge, before the bag is completed with lining, handle and closure. The construction keeps the project easy to follow and gives a solid result with beautiful handmade details.

The pattern is written with clear step-by-step explanations and suits both you who want to learn new techniques and experienced crocheters who want to make a truly unique accessory. Along the way you will find Cosy Cues with practical tips that make the process easier.

Always Lovable Bag was made in the belief that real luxury lies in the craft. Every stripe, every texture and every colour combination tells its own story. The bag is designed to be used, loved and to gain character over time – exactly as a well made handmade product should.

The design was developed in collaboration between Marie Olsson Nylander and CosyMonday, and brings together creative freedom and Scandinavian form.
