How to Make

Abbreviations:

tr – Treble Crochet (US Double Crochet)

ch – Chain

ss – Slip Stitch

V – V-Stitch

mc – Magic Circle

st – Stitch

 

Pattern is written in UK terms.

Starting chain ALWAYS counts as a stitch.

 

The body of the bag is made entirely out of offset v-stitches, unless told otherwise you will always be working your stitch into the first tr you reach (the right hand side of the V).

 

You will be working in rounds until you reach the strap section of the pattern.

 

Special Stitches:

 

V-Stitch: (treble, chain 1, treble) into the same stitch.
