---------------------------------------------------------- EXPLANATION FOR THE PATTERN: ---------------------------------------------------------- CHAIN STITCH: If you work at the end of crochet hook the chain stitch will often be too tight 1 chain stitch should be just as long as 1 single crochet/double crochet is wide. CROCHET INFORMATION: At beginning of every round with single crochet work 1 chain stitch, this chain stitch does not replace 1st single crochet. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in first single crochet on round At beginning of every round with double crochets work 3 chain stitches, these 3 chain stitches do not replace 1st double crochet on round. Finish round with 1 slip stitch in 3rd chain stitch at beginning of round. PATTERN: See diagrams A.1 to A.5. INCREASE TIP-1: Increase 1 double crochet by working 2 double crochets in one stitch. Increase 1 double crochet before and after marker thread in each side (= 4 stitches increased on round). INCREASE TIP-2: To calculate how to increase evenly, use the total number of stitches on row (e.g. 130 stitches) and divide stitches by number of increases to be done (e.g. 14) = 9.3. In this example increase by working 2 double crochets in approx. every 9th stitch. 3 DOUBLE CROCHETS INTO 1 DOUBLE CROCHET: Work 1 double crochet in first stitch but wait with last yarn over and pull through (= 2 loops on hook), work 1 double crochet more the same way in each of the next 2 stitches, but pull last yarn over through all 4 loops on hook (= 1 stitch). ---------------------------------------------------------- START THE PIECE HERE: ---------------------------------------------------------- BAG - SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE: Work in the round bottom up. Then work the bottom together. BAG: Work 114 chain stitches on hook size 4.5 mm = US 7 with Bomull-Lin or Paris and form a ring with 1 slip stitch in first chain stitch worked on round - read CHAIN STITCH. ROUND 1: Work 1 single crochet in every stitch - read CROCHET INFORMATION, = 114 single crochets on round. Insert a marker thread at the beginning of round and a marker thread after 57 single crochets (= 57 single crochets between marker threads). ROUNDS 2-5: Work 1 double crochet in every single crochet, AT THE SAME TIME on every round increase 1 double crochet on each side of both marker threads - read INCREASE TIP-1 = 130 double crochets. REMEMBER THE CROCHET GAUGE! Then work with 1 double crochet in every double crochet until piece measures 9 cm = 3½" from cast-on edge. Work next round as follows: Work 1 double crochet in every double crochet and increase 14 double crochets evenly on round - read INCREASE TIP-2 = 144 double crochets. Now work pattern as follows: Work A.1 (shows how round begins and ends), A.2 36 repetitions in total on round. When diagrams have been worked vertically, repeat the last 2 rounds until piece measures approx. 32 cm = 12½" - adjust to finish after a round that is last round in A.2. Cut the yarn. Now work back and forth in each side of bag follows: Fasten strand with 1 slip stitch in double crochet before the last 4 chain spaces on round and work pattern from right side as follows: A.3, A.4 over the next 7 chain spaces, A.5 over the next chain space + double crochet after chain space. Continue back and forth like this until A.3 to A.5 have been worked vertically. Cut and fasten the yarn. Fasten strand with 1 slip stitch in double crochet after the 10th chain space, counted from after A.5 worked in one side of piece. Work pattern as follows: A.3, A.4 over the next 7 chain spaces, A.5 over the next chain space + double crochet after chain space. There should now be 10 chain spaces between A.5 and A.3 in the middle of bag between sides worked. Continue back and forth like this until A.3 to A.5 have been worked vertically. Cut and fasten the yarn. CROCHET TOGETHER AT THE BOTTOM: Turn the piece so that right side is against right side and work bottom together at the bottom along the first chain stitch row worked. Work through both layers, begin from marker thread at the beginning of round and work 1 single crochet in every chain stitch. Cut and fasten the yarn. STRAPS: Turn piece again to work from right side. ROUND 1: Fast yarn with 1 slip stitch in one side, in the middle double crochet (= 4 chain spaces on each side). Work 3 chain stitches (= 1 double crochet) - remember CROCHET INFORMATION, work 4 double crochets around each of the next 4 chain spaces, work 72 chain stitches (make sure that chain stitches are not worked too tight, chain stitch row should measure 45 cm = 17¾"), skip the 10 chain spaces in the middle of bag between the sides, work 4 double crochets around each of the 8 chain spaces along one side, work 72 chain stitches (make sure that chain stitches are not too tight, chain stitch row should measure 45 cm = 17¾"), skip 10 chain spaces in the middle of bag between the sides, work 4 double crochets around each of the last 4 chain spaces on round. There are no 32 double crochets in each side and 72 chain stitches for strap in each side = 208 stitches. ROUND 2: Work * 1 double crochet in every double crochet until 2 double crochets before first chain stitch, work 3 DOUBLE CROCHETS INTO 1 DOUBLE CROCHET - read explanation above, work 1 double crochet in each of the next 70 chain stitches (i.e. until 1 chain stitch remains before next double crochet), work 3 double crochets into 1 double crochet, work 1 double crochet in each of the next 14 double crochets *, work from *-* 1 more time on round = 200 double crochets on round: ROUND 3: Work 1 single crochet in every stitch. Cut and fasten the yarn. Now work on the inside of strap around chain stitch row, edges and the 10 chain spaces as follows: Work one side as follows: ROUND 1: Begin with 1 slip stitch in the first chain stitch on the inside of one of the straps, work 1 double crochet in each of the 72 chain stitches - remember CROCHET INFORMATION, work 3 double crochets around each of the next 3 rows (= along the side on A.3/A.5, work 2 double crochets around next row, work 3 DOUBLE CROCHETS INTO 1 DOUBLE CROCHET the same way as earlier, but now work 1 double crochet in the last row and 2 double crochets around the first of the 10 chain spaces. Continue with 2 more double crochet around this chain space, and work 4 double crochets around each of the next 8 chain spaces, work 2 double crochets around the 10th chain space, work 3 DOUBLE CROCHETS INTO 1 DOUBLE CROCHET the same way as earlier, but work 2 double crochets around the last chain space and 1 double crochet around the next row, work 2 more double crochets around this row, work 3 double crochets around each of the next 3 rows. ROUND 2: Work 1 single crochet in every stitch. Cut and fasten the yarn. Work the same way around the other opening for strap. |
