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 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.

It is possible to make a larger size, if required, by working more rounds on the base, taking the extra stitches into the pattern on the main part and adding more rounds.

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.

The drawstring and strap are made using the Romanian cord method. Instructions are included, but there are also some good YouTube video tutorials available.
