Are you just as excited about tapestry crochet and specific about crocheting a Mochila bag like me?Then, this extensive crochet pattern is really nice for you! This Mini Mochila pattern is very suitable to begin with because it is not a really big bag. The height of the bag is approximately 21.5 cm (8.5 inches) and the diameter of the bottom is approximately 15 cm (5.9 inches). The strap with a Chevron pattern is created through ply split braiding and finishes it off.

You recieve a PDF file of 36 pages where all steps are described in detail and are illustrated with photo’s (a sneek peek you kan find above at the photo’s). Examples of what is described in the PDF file:

• supplies
• information about the method of crocheting
• tips before you start crocheting
• pattern of the bottom as an image and written out
• pattern of the side of the bag as an image and written out
• the splitting of the strap and the attachment to the bag
• the making of the drawstring and the tassels
• the finishing of the bag

Additional, in de appendices you will find some extra information, for example yarn over and yarn under crocheting, making a magic loop, changing of colors and the difference between splitting on 1/4 and 1/2 twist.

The bag is crocheted with cotton yarn suitable for crochet needle 2-3 mm (US 0 - 3, UK/Canada 14 - 11). For example: Phildar Phil coton 3, Lana Grossa Cotone, SMC Catania, By Claire No. 1, Scheepjes Larra or Pingouin Esterel). From each color you will need about 2 balls of yarn.
Of couse you could also choose other colors then my bag. Would you like a less colourfull bag? Choose 4 different shades of one color, for example different shads of black/grey, brown/creme or blue.

Have a lot of crochet fun!
