Crochet an Easy Cross Body Bag Using a Panel of Planned Pooling (or any Panel of Crochet You Like)

I have a new obsession! Planned Pooling is so much easier than I thought it would be and now I want to do it all the time. If you learn this, your friends and family will think you are a master crocheter, no one has to know that it is really so simple to do. And then, once you learn it, the possibilities for how you can use it are huge! This is not the video that teaches planned pooling. That video is here:

In the description of that video, you will find a master list that I am compiling of yarns you can color pool with so check that out.

As I was learning the technique, I made a LOT of practice swatches and they are so pretty, I want to make stuff out of them. One can only have so many scarves right? Wrong... you can have a scarf for every outfit if you want and don't let anyone tell you differently, but If you are like me, you want to mix it up a little. My Facebook Group gave me some ideas for what to do with this rainbow panel because it is just so cool looking and we decided on a Market Bag. But I think this has evolved into a Cross Body Bag or a Messenger Bag and if you are looking for a cute Diaper Bag for a Rainbow Baby, this could be that too.
Here is the link to my Facebook Group. It is called Ginell's Quarantine Crochet and all are welcome. It's just a happy place to be and a great place to share pictures of your projects.
