The Seley Bag is crocheted in a woven pattern using spike stitches in different yarn qualities, creating a playful texture. The bag has an oval shape, short handles, and a long shoulder strap. The main yarn is Highland, which highlights the technique and the play of colours and textures.

How to crochet it
Seley Bag is worked in the round from the bottom up. First the base is worked in double crochet through both loops working around a yarn end in the same colour to stabilise it. Then the sides are worked in double crochet through the back loop and spike stitches for pattern. The bag is made up with short handles and a shoulder strap – both worked back and forth. The bag’s base, sides and short handles are all reinforced with interfacing.
