Diversified Pastel Tapestry Crochet Bag _Free Crochet Pattern

Practice tapestry crochet and make this easy colorful bag by working with only two colors in each section.

------------------

This bag is worked using two strands of each color with sport weight yarn.

(If you want to use only one strand of each color then use worsted weight yarn)

DOUBLE STRAND TIP:

·         Use the strand from both the inside and outside of the skein and wrap them together to make a 2 strands ball.

MEASUREMENTS:

·         Approx. 24 cm wide *25 cm tall (without handles).

MATERIALS:

·         Size 3.5mm crochet hook. (E USA size, 9 UK size), Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.

·         Tapestry Needle.

·         Light Worsted Yarn (Sport weight)  in 6 Colors I used (ALIZE Cotton Gold 55%Cotton, 45% Acrylic)   

(It won’t take too much yarn so you can make it with the rest yarn of other projects)   

The following are approximate yarn materials and yarn will remain from it:
(50g, 1.765 Oz, 165 MT, 180.5Yds) Light beige
(50g, 1.765 Oz, 165 MT, 180.5Yds) Light grey

GAUGE:

• With 2 strands of yarn (approx. 12 sc and 8 rounds to obtain a 5 cm square) in tapestry sc.

• If takes you fewer stitches to make a 5cm square, try using a smaller hook or the bag will be bigger, if more stitches try a larger size hook or the bag will be smaller.

STITCHES:

• Chain (Ch.), Single crochet, Slip Stitch (sl st), Color changing.

NOTES:

• This pattern is written in American English.
• Bag is worked using 2 strands of yarn.
• Bag is worked in one piece using joined rounds and tapestry crochet technique.
• Join rounds with slip stitch in top of a beginning sc in the back loop.
• You will always work in the back loop only.
• Each Round will begin with chain 1, sc in the same st as joined.

STITCH GUIDE:

• Tapestry Crochet is created by carrying color not in use over stitches being worked, working scs across the carried yarn to incase it between stitches.
• When changing colors, work stitch before change until two loops remaining on hook, draw through final two loops with new color.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• Each square is a sc worked in the back loop only.
• Each round will begin with ch 1 and 1 sc in the same stitch as joined (1^st sc).
• Each round will end with a sl st in the 1^st sc of the previous round.
