-------------------------------------------------------
EXPLANATIONS FOR THE PATTERN:
-------------------------------------------------------
PATTERN:
See diagrams A.1 to A.3.
CHAIN STITCH:
If you work outermost on the hook the chain stitch will often be too tight; 1 chain stitch should be as long as 1 treble crochet is wide.
CROCHET INFORMATION:
At the beginning of each round of treble crochets, work 3 chain stitches which replace the first treble crochet (i.e. skip the first treble crochet from the previous round). The round finishes with 1 slip stitch in the 3rd chain stitch at the beginning of the round.
DECREASE TIP:
Decrease 1 treble crochet by working 2 treble crochets together: Work 1 treble crochet, but wait with the last yarn over and pull-through (= 2 loops on the hook), work the next treble crochet and, when working the last yarn over, pull it through all 3 loops on the hook (= 1 treble crochet decreased).

BAG ¬- SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE PIECE:
The piece is worked in the round, bottom up. The strap is worked to finish.
BAG:
Work 40 CHAIN STITCHES – read description above, using hook size 4 mm and DROPS Belle or DROPS Cotton Light.
ROUND 1: Read CROCHET INFORMATION and PATTERN and work both sides of the chain-stitch row as follows: Work A.1 in the first chain stitch, 1 treble crochet in each of the next 38 chain stitches, A.1 in the next chain stitch, turn and work back along the other side of the chain-stitch row: Work A.1 in the same chain stitch as A.1 on the other side, 1 treble crochet in each of the next 38 chain stitches, A.1 in the same chain stitch as on the other side of the chain-stitch row = 84 treble crochets and 4 chain-spaces on the round.
ROUNDS 2-5: Continue in the round with A.1 and 1 treble crochet in each treble crochet – AT THE SAME TIME, on round 5 decrease 4 treble crochets evenly spaced - read DECREASE TIP = 144 stitches. REMEMBER THE CROCHET TENSION!
When A.1 is finished in height, work A.2, 8 times on the round. When A.2 is finished, work A.3, 8 times on the round. A.3 is worked 3 times in height. The piece now measures approx. 34 cm – measured from the chain-stitch row.
Work 3 rounds of treble crochets (on the first round work 1 treble crochet in each treble crochet and 1 treble crochet around each chain stitch, then 1 treble crochet in each treble crochet on the next 2 rounds). Cut and fasten the strand. The piece measures approx. 38 cm – measured from the chain-stitch row.
STRAP:
Work 7 chain stitches with hook size 4 mm and DROPS Belle or DROPS Cotton Light. Work 1 treble crochet in the 4th chain stitch from the hook and 1 treble crochet in each of the other 3 chain stitches = 5 stitches (first treble crochet on each row replaced by 3 chain stitches). Work treble crochets back and forth until the strap measures 60 cm.
Now work an edge around the strap as follows: Work 1 double crochet around the first row on the long-side, * 2 chain stitches, 1 double crochet around the next row *, work from *-* along the long-side, work 1 double crochet in each stitch along the short-side, work from *-* along the other long-side and finish with 1 double crochet in each stitch along the other short-side. NOTE: If the strap is tight, work more chain stitches between the double crochets. Cut and fasten the strand. Sew the strap to each side of the bag.

Zaczynam od 40 oczek łańcuszka, po przerobieniu 5 rzędów wzoru A1 i zamknięciu 4 slupkow mam na koniec 5. Rzędu 114 oczek a nie 144: 88 po 1., 94 po 2. 102 po 3., 110 po 4., 118-4 po 5.= 114. Jak mam dojść do 144 ?

Witaj Olu, w pierwszym okrążeniu masz (38 słupków x 2) + 4 oczka, od których będziesz wykonywać schemat A.1. Przerabiasz schemat A.1, a w pozostałe słupki przerabiasz słupki (1 słupek w każdy słupek). Każdy schemat A.1 na końcu liczy 18 słupków/słupków podwójnych (38x2)+(18x4)= 76+72=148 (-4 oczka, które równomiernie zamkniesz 5-tym okrążeniu = 144). Mam nadzieję, że pomogłam. Pozdrawiam!
22.05.2023 kl. 12:56Jeg er nået til 4 omgang i diagram A3. Jeg kan ikke forstå hvordan jeg skal starte omgangen, når jeg skal starte midt i en luftmaskebue?

Hei Marianne. Ved overgangene på omgangene vil du få en "strek" med luftmasker istedenfor staver og akkurat på 4. omgang må du starte med 3 luftmasker for å komme opp i høyden for så å fortsette mønstret. Så da starter du med 3 luftmasker + 1 luftmaske (1. maske du ser på 4.rad i diagrammet) + 15 staver + 2 luftmasker osv. Når du gjentar A.3 vil du ikke få denne "start -3- luftmaske-streken", det er kun på starten. mvh DROPS Design
