![]() 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!
