NOTES:

  • ch2/ch1 at the start of the Row, doesn’t count as a St.
  • This bag is a constructed as a rectangular flat piece first and then the corners are worked to form the shape of the bag.
  • Pattern is worked in flat rows by turning at the end of each row for the body, and in the round for the edging and shaping.
  • The instructions are written in crochet shorthand, for eg. “sc 2” means single crochet in each of the next 2 stitches, “2sc” means make 2 single crochet in the same stitch.
  • Stitch count is mentioned in Brackets as [#] at end of row.
  • Blocking is a must for this project to achieve the desired look.

SCHEMATICS:

The bag is created by making a rectangle and then sinching the 4 corner points to create the shape. However instead or a normal rectangle we shall be starting from one corner and working our way u to create the remaining 3 corners of the rectangle.

@stringtierey

RECAP:

We ended week 1 at Row 48 for gohibulky yarn users and Row 60 for gobulky users, both in contrast colour. This end was the corner point 2 for both options.

We continued Week 2 to get to corner point 3, and started decreasing both sides.

PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS – WEEK 2:

For this week, we shall continue decreasing on both sides, till we reach the corner point 4 and block our rectangle to the right shape.

Since we completed Week 2 at 2 different row counts for both the different yarn options, the row numbers henceforth will be mentioned as ROW no. for gohibulky / no. for go bulky. Similarly for stitch counts at the end of the row. [gohibulky / gobulky]. UNLESS OTHERWISE MENTIONED.

You can check the Stitch Count Chart at the end for each row count.

The instructions remain the same for either yarn option you choose, unless specified.

ONLY Go bulky users, complete the following rows.
GO hibulky Users Scroll below.

With MC.

ROW 97 (WS): ch1, dc2tog, *ch1, sk1, dc. * Repeat * to * till last 2 st, ending with ch1, dc2tog in the last 2 sts. Turn. [73]

ROW 98 (RS): ch1, sc2tog in first st and ch sp, sc till the 3rd last st, sc2tog in the last 2 sts. Turn.[71]

ROW 99 (WS): Repeat ROW 97. [69]

ROW 100 (RS): Repeat ROW 98. [67]

ROW 101 (WS): Repeat ROW 97. [65]

ROW 102 (RS): Repeat ROW 98. [63]

Change to CC, Cut MC.

ROW 103 (WS): ch1, sc2tog, *ch3, sk1, sc. * Repeat * to * till the last 2 sts ending in ch3, sc2tog in the last 2 sts. Turn. [31 sc, 30 ch3 sp]

ROW 104 (RS): ch1, dcsc2tog in sc and ch3sp, *dc in sc, sc in ch3 sp* Repeat * to * till the last ch3 sp, scdc2tog in the ch3 sp and the last st. Turn. [59]

ROW 105 (WS): Repeat ROW 103. [29 sc, 28 ch3 sp]

ROW 106 (RS): Repeat ROW 104. [55]

ROW 107 (WS): Repeat ROW 103. [27 sc, 26 ch3 sp]

ROW 108 (RS): Repeat ROW 104. [51]

GO hibulky Users start week 3 here. Gobulky users continue.

So for both options now we will have different row numbers but same stitch count.

Change to MC, Cut CC.

ROW 85/109 (WS): ch1, dc2tog, *ch1, sk1, dc. * Repeat * to * till last 2 st, ending with ch1, dc2tog in the last 2 sts. Turn. [49]

Change to MC, Cut CC.

ROW 97/121 (WS) – ROW 102/126 (RS): Repeat ROW 85/109 – ROW 90/114.

Change to CC, Cut MC.

We will now repeat only 5 rows till the corner point and make the last row differently to end the rectangle.

ROW 103/127 (WS) – ROW 107/131 (WS): Repeat ROW 91/115 – ROW 95/119.

ROW 108/132 (RS): ch2, dc5tog, ch1. [5]

Cut CC. Fasten off.

Now your Rectangle is complete! Head over to blocking section.

To help you understand better, Divya has created a tutorial video that is perfect for beginners:

Blocking:

Your rectangle is complete and if you just lay it out flat.. well… it doesnt look much like a rectangle is it?

The method of blocking will help reshape the piece to a proper rectangle and open up the mesh design. So lets block!!

For this project we shall do the wet blocking method. Wet Blocking essentially means soaking the project in water and then drying it flat to the required shaping.

Now for drying flat, usually blocking mats and pins are used. But if you dont have blocking mats, dont fuss! You can always use other alternatives like yoga mat, baby floor mats, or dry towel on mattress. You can use any kind of pins – the soft board pins, embroidery pins or T pins.

Follow the steps below for wet blocking.

  1. Soak the project in water with a mild fabric conditioner (eeasy, comfort, wool wash – anyof these will do) for about half hour.
  2. Rinse out the water, by gently pressing the piece with your hands. DO NOT WRING TO REMOVE WATER.
  3. Take a dry towel and roll the piece into the towel. Press the towel hard (you can put weights on it or just stamp it out with your legs) so it absorbs almost all the water.
  4. Now take the semi wet piece to the blocking mat/ yoga mat/ dry towel on mattress and start stretching and pinning down the corners and sides, starting from one end of the rectangle to the other.
  5. Leave it to dry.

Divya has made a you tube video for the blocking instructions too:

That is it for Week 3!! in case of any queries reach out to us via email or comment below this post or dm us on instagram. you can also address your queries directly with our designer Divya @stringtierey on instagram.

RECAP:

We ended week 1 at Row 48 for gohibulky yarn users and Row 60 for gobulky users, both in contrast colour. This end was the corner point 2 for both options.

PATTERN INSTRUCTIONS – WEEK 2:

For this week, we shall extend the shape to create a recangle and reach corner oint 3 and continue to decrease both sides to reach corner point 4.
To create the rectangular shape, we shall be decreasing on one side and continue increasing on the other side, till we reach corner point 3. Then we shall decrease on both sides, till we reach corner point 4.

Since we completed Week 1 at 2 different row counts for both the different yarn options, the row numbers henceforth will be mentioned as ROW no. for gohibulky / no. for go bulky. Similarly for stitch counts at the end of the row. [gohibulky / gobulky]

You can check the Stitch Count Chart at the end for each row count.

The instructions remain the same for either yarn option you choose, unless specified.

Envie-a-Hexie Doily

Notes

When the instructions say join with dc, it means that instead of joining to the first stitch with a sl st, you make a dc in the first st. This creates the last ch space for the round and makes sure that the hook is in the center of the ch sp ready to start the next round. The dc that is used to form the last sp  is counted as ch3sp rather than as a dc.

The doily will ruffle . It will settle on blocking after its completion.

Instructions – Week 4

Rnd 23: Ch1, sc in same sp, (ch3, sc in next sp) 5 times, ch3 , sc in 2nd dc of 3dc group, (ch3, sc in next sp)5 times, ch3, sc in 2nd dc of 3 dc group, (ch3, sc in next sp)5 times, ch3, sc in 2nd dc of 3 dc group, (ch3, sc in next sp) 7 times, ch3, skip 1 dc, sc in next dc, skip 1 dc, *(ch3, sc in next sp) 7 times, [ch3 , sc in 2nd dc of 3dc group, (ch3, sc in next sp)5 times]2 times, ch3, sc in 2nd dc of 3 dc group, (ch3, sc in next sp) 7 times, ch3, sk 1 dc, sc in next dc, sk 1 dc, repeat from * around ending with ch3, sc in next sp. Join the first sc with ch1, 1 dc – 168 ch3 sp, 168sc.

Start of round 23
End of round 23

Rnd 24: Ch1, sc in same sp, *ch5, sk 1 ch sp, sc in next ch sp, repeat from * around. Join the first sc with ch2, 1 dc (this creates the last ch5 sp) – 84 ch5 sp, 84 sc.

Sunburst Diamond Mochila CAL – Week 4

indiayarncircle

We are on our last section of this CAL and We cant believe it!!

Its been super fun to see the progress and work with all of you on this CAL!!

Before we dive into this week instructions, here are links to previous weeks.

Materials and Registration Week – CLICK HERE.

Base of the Bag – Week 1 – CLICK HERE.

Side / body of the bag part 1 – Week 2 – CLICK HERE.

Side/ Body pf the bag Part 2 – Week 3 – CLICK HERE.

This week is all about the cord, tassels, straps and different ways of making it! So lets dive in!

Cord, Tassels, Strap

Cord

We can make either a braided cord or a kumihimo cord.

1) Braided Cord: If you are using a braided cord, this way you can measure the length.
                           Put a piece of any color yarn through the holes of the bag and tie it the way you want.
                           And measure this length.
                           Take a couple of yarns of all 5 colors and divide them into three sections and start
                           braiding.

2) Kumihimo Cord: It is made with a Kumihimo Disc. The yarns have to be 3 times longer than the length
                               you want your cord to be. Kumihimo cord stretches a little so keep the measurement
                               smaller than the length actual required.
                               I have used pattern #k10551 from friendship-bracelets.net
                              added by KimS23
                              Sample Cord measures 89cm/ 35 inches
                              You can use any pattern you desire.

You can refer to this video as reference.


Tassels

Make tassels of your choice.
Add tassels to your cord once you put the cord through the holes in your bag.

You can refer to this video as reference.


Strap

We will make a crocheted strap for our Mochila.

Sample Strap measures 100cm with 305 foundation chain.
If you want your strap longer than this, make 365 foundation chain.

1)   The strap is crocheted lengthwise.
2)   We start every row on the same side. i.e. If you are right handed, Start your every row on the     
right side. If you are left handed, Start your every row on the left side.
3)   Chain the number of stitches. (305,365)
4)   It is important to make foundation chain stitches tight.
5)   Start the row with a new yarn.
6)   Make a slip knot.
7)   Add all the yarns that we carry, leave them out for about 20-25cm.

8)   Start the row.

9)   At the end of the row, cut the yarns. Leave them out for about 20-25cm.

10)  We can braid them later or leave them as it is.

And pull out the working yarn.

Start the new row.

Sample Strap measures 100cm with 305 chains and 1.9mm hook.
If you want your strap longer than 100cm, make 365 foundation chain.

Button holes

We will make Button holes in Round 33…Crochet 4 stitches around the yarns you carry.  Slide the stitches if needed, pull the yarns gently. Skip 4 stitches and insert the hook in next stitch.
In this video we will see how to make button holes:

See instructions below:

Round-33.   *9A, BUTTON HOLE, 18A, BUTTON HOLE, 19A, BUTTON HOLE, 18A, BUTTON HOLE,     19A, BUTTON HOLE, 18A, BUTTONHOLE, 19A, BUTTON HOLE, 18A, BUTTON HOLE, 10A*

Round-34.   *30A*   {6x}
Round-35.   *30A*   {6x}

As we work in spiral, there is a difference in height at the end of the round.
we can minimize the height by cutting the yarns one by one in Round-36.
20 stitches before the end, cut yarn color E. 15 stitches before the end, cut yarn color D. 10 stitches before the end, cut yarn color B. At the end of the Row, cut yarn colorA.

Round-36. *30A*   {6x}
Round-37.   Crab stitch with color C, (Do not make crab stitch in every stitch, skip every other stitch)
