This mini mochila style drawstring bag is made using Tunisian crochet in-the-round, a 4.00m double ended crochet hook and a double knitting weight cotton blend yarn. Depending on tension/gauge it measures approximately 7 inches/18 cm in height, width across the main part is 7 ½ inches/19cm.

The base is hexagonally shaped measuring 5 ¾ inches/14cm in diameter.

Instructions are written in English with UK crochet terms for the parts made using regular crochet.

Skill level intermediate. Knowledge of Tunisian crochet in-the-round and use of a magic ring to start is needed.

Instructions are given in this pattern explaining how to make the drawstring and strap using the Romanian cord method. There are also some very good YouTube video tutorials available.
