Row 24 * 10A, inc A, 12A* (Repeat * to * 12 times) [300] cut the yarn.
Fold the round base into half exactly and put stitch markers on both ends. I made a fold along the line where you begin your rows and shifting of colours can be noticeable. If you do this, rest of your pattern will look neat.
Row 25 Leave two sc after the marker and make 1A into each. Skip 2sc before you reach the next marker. Cut the yarn. Continue on the other side the same thing and cut the yarn.
Stitching two pieces:
Have a look at Marion Verloop’s tutorial on how to join the two pieces:
By using this method just make 25 slip stitches both corners and leave the middle for stitching the zip.
Add Zip:
Stitch your zip on the extra row which you made.
Add Crab Stitch
Marion has shown very clearly how to add the crab stitch. On the last row i.e Row 25 you made sc on the back loop, so you will make crab stitch on the front loop all around.
Add Tassel:
Its upto you how you want to make your tassel but if you want to make a tassel like Marion’s then here is the link:
And that’s it!!!! Your bag is complete.
