orange (95202) and white (95227) colors

(1629) color

2. 2.5 mm crochet hook

The finished bag using the materials stated in this pattern is ~11.4 inches / 29 cm in

height and ~12.6 inches / 32 cm in width.

Tips before starting:

– The front and back parts of the bag are crocheted in single crochet. Each square in the

pattern indicates one single crochet.

– The front part of the bag is crocheted according to the pattern from bottom to top (see

the chart below). The first row is crocheted from right to left.

– Crochet the front and back parts of the bag in back and forth rows (turn as you

complete each row).

– Begin each new row with a turning chain.

You can use bobbins (or a piece of cardboard to wrap the yarn around) for crocheting

the colored blocks. Add more yarn once the yarn on the bobbin is finished. You can use

as many bobbins as you like. Before starting work, you should have ready bobbins in

pearl and rose colors.

Try not to pull the yarn too tight when changing colors, but also do not let it be too

loose so that there are no gaps.

Below you can find a small excerpt of the chart on how to change the colors on the front

and wrong sides.

See below, how to change the color in the ninth row on the front side.

See below, how to change the color in the tenth row on the wrong side.

See below, how the ready part in 10 rows looks.

See how the ready part on the wrong side looks.

Hide all yarn tails on the wrong side with the help of the needle.

See how the ready part looks on the front and wrong sides.

Start crocheting the front side of the bag. Chain 85 with white yarn. Start working in

the second chain from the hook as follows in the chart below.

After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
