This listing is for the crochet pattern for this beautiful Tunisian Cable Barrel Bag. This Barrel Bag features 5 cables in 3 different sizes around the body of the bag, spiral sides and is finished off with chunky handles and a tassel zip. It is created using 2 strands of Double Knit Cotton, or a Worsted/Aran Cotton, and uses a mix of Tunisian and regular crochet techniques. The finished bag measures 35cm long and has a 20cm diameter providing plenty of room for all your belongings.

The pattern includes a materials list, the written pattern, plus detailed photo tutorials on working the Tunisian cable stitches and how to put the bag together, including lining it and adding in the zip. In addition there is also a video tutorial for help making the handles with Romanian Point Lace cord. The 23 page document also provides help with making sure your bag always keeps its shape, even when it is empty.
