Crocheted Rainbow Tassel Bag

Thinking forward to knitting and crochet projects for the summer, bags instantly came to mind. 

Everyone needs a bag, to picnic, to carry those essential items, for a night out - and why shouldn't you make it? I've seen a lot of circular bags recently which I've liked the look of and this was improvised on Greenwich Market the other day. 

It uses Hoooked Zpagetti, but could as easily use a chunky wool or Hooked's Jute or cotton Spesso yarns for a more rustic feel and a 12mm crochet hook. 

Main Bag  (Make 2):-

Make a slip knot. 
1: Chain 4 stitches and join the last with the first using a slip stitch. (4)
2: Chain 1, 2 DC in each stitch, join loop (8)
3: Chain 1, 2 DC in each stitch, join loop (16)
4: Chain 1, *1 DC, 2 DC*, join loop (24)
5: Chain 1, *1 DC, 1, DC 2 DC*, join loop (32)
6: Chain 1, *1 DC, 1, DC, 1DC 2 DC*, join loop (40)
7: Chain 1, *1 DC, 1, DC, 1DC, 1DC, 2 DC*, join loop (48)
8: 
Chain 1, *1 DC, 1, DC, 1DC, 1DC, 1DC, 2 DC*, join loop (54)
9: on the first go, fasten off, on the second, continue below


Lining up the 2 Main Sections:-
1: 1 TRC in piece 2, then TRC  in the adjacent stitch of piece 1
2: repeat until you secured together 2/3rd of the circles - approximately 35 stitches on either side

Strap:-

1: Chain 60 stitches - 80 if you want a longer strap. 
2: Secure with a slip stitch to the other side of the bag
3: TR along one side of the chain back to the other side of the opening
4: Turn and TR along the other side of the chain. 
5: Secure

Pocket:-

Follow instructions for the main section up to 5 and then fasten off. 
Slip stitch the circle to the middle of one of the main sides. 

Add tassels as required!

I used the scraps to make a lovely place mat too!
