GAUGE NOTE:
Since this pattern is motif-based, the standard stitch gauge is not required. Your motif size after blocking is the gauge: 25 cm×25 cm (≈9.8 inches×9.8 inches).

PATTERN LOGIC:
The pattern alternates the starting point of each round to create an invisible seam: Odd-numbered rounds start in a side space, and Even-numbered rounds start by working the slip stitch behind the last stitch.

CONSTRUCTION NOTE:
The pattern is designed to include a double-layered, non-stretch fabric lining to maintain the final structured size of the finished bag (35 cm×37 cm) and prevent the crochet fabric from stretching.

YARN & HOOKS:
This pattern requires the main yarn to be held in 3 strands and uses a 2.5 mm (US C/2) hook.
