How to Make

Abbreviations:

tr – Treble Crochet (US Double Crochet)

ch – Chain

ss – Slip Stitch

V – V-Stitch

mc – Magic Circle

st – Stitch

Pattern is written in UK terms.

Starting chain ALWAYS counts as a stitch.

The body of the bag is made entirely out of offset v-stitches, unless told otherwise you will always be working your stitch into the first tr you reach (the right hand side of the V).

You will be working in rounds until you reach the strap section of the pattern.

Special Stitches:

V-Stitch: (treble, chain 1, treble) into the same stitch.

Step-1

With (A) make a magic circle.

Step-4

Rnd 7. ch3, tr4, 2tr, *tr5, 2tr, repeat from 8 around, ss to top of ch3 (84). The base of the bag in now finished, the next section is all worked in v-stitch (V).

Step-5

Rnd 8. ch4 (counts as tr + ch1), tr in same st, ch1, *skip 2 st, V in next st, ch1, repeat from * to end, ss to 3rd ch. Rnd 9. ch4, tr in same st, ch1, *skip ch1, nxt st & ch1, V in next st, ch1, repeat from * to end, ss to 3rd ch.

Step-6

Rnd 10-14 Repeat rnd 9. Change to colour (B) at the end of rnd 14. Rnd 15-17 Repeat rnd 9. Change to colour (A) at the end of rnd 17. Rnd 18 Repeat rnd 9. Change to colour (B).

Step-7

Rnd 19-25 Repeat rnd 9. You will now make the strap, turning your work at the end of each row.

Step-8

Row 26 ch4, *skip ch1, next st & ch1, V in next st, ch1, repeat from * 4 times, skip ch1, next st & ch1, tr in next st, turn. Row 27 ch4, *skip ch1, next st & ch1, V in next st, ch1, repeat from * 3 times, skip ch1, st, ch1 & next st, ss to 3rd ch of ch4, turn.
