Crochet hook no. 5-6 for the viscose thread

Crochet hook no. 3.5-4 for the polypropylene yarn

2 Krikaki

1 Chain

1 Magnet

Grid

Lining


Summary


For your bag you start by knitting a chain with 65 loops and a round around it. Continue by alternating the two threads and making increases in the two corners and at the top,

to form the lid of the bag. Then you fold your bag and knit the sides of it to assemble. Finally, adjust the grid with the lining, the hooks,

the chain and sew on your magnet.


Detailed Steps


1. You start with viscose yarn and create a chain of 65 loops.

 2. Continue in a circular pattern by knitting legs in each loop.


3. As soon as you reach the top, drop 4 small feet into the same loop and continue knitting one small foot into each loop until you reach the end of the row


4. Next, you take the polypropylene yarn and continue turning your knitting as shown in the diagram, knitting perfect whorls.


5. Three loops before the top, knit 3 legs in the same loop, 2 legs in the next loop, then 4 legs in the loop of one side of the top, one chain

and repeat the same process until the row is finished (ie 4 double crochets in the loop of the other side of the top, 2 double crochets in the next loop, 3 double crochets

in the next and from one single crochet in each loop until the row ends).


6. You take the viscose yarn again and start your row by knitting arihti carousels. As soon as you reach the corner, drop 2 small feet into the same loop and continue with a double crochet

in each loop until you reach one side of the top, where you drop 2 sl sts. Continue in the same way on the other side (i.e. add 2 legs to the

other side of the top, continue with a single crochet in each loop until you reach the corner, where you will drop 2 slips in the same loop and then knit a single crochet in each loop until

to complete the series.)


7. Then you take the polypropylene yarn again and knit two crochets in each loop until you reach the slope of the corner where you cast 3 crochets. You continue with two excellent ones

knit until you reach one side of the top where you knit 3 legs in the same loop and complete your row by knitting in a corresponding way.


8. Repeat step 8 to create two identical rounds.


9. Take the plain viscose thread and knit in each loop until you reach the corner, where you knit 2 legs. Continue with a single crochet in each loop until you reach

at the top where you knit 2 legs. You continue by knitting a double crochet in each loop, until you reach the corner where you knit 2 legs in the same loop. You continue with a great one

in each loop until the end of the row.


10. You take the polypropylene thread and start knitting from 4 crochets in each loop until you reach the slope of the corner, where you knit 6 crochets in the same loop. You continue

knitting 4 double crochets in each loop until you reach the top where you knit 2 crochet stitches in the same loop, one chain and 2 crochet stitches again. You follow the same knitting process

until you complete the sequence.


11. You continue with the same thread knitting 2 double crochets in each loop until you reach the corner where you knit 3 legs. Continue with 2 double crochets until you reach the top, where you knit 2

legs and continue in the same way until you reach the end of the row.


12. Now knit legs in each loop around the perimeter of your bag, dropping two large loops at the top, i.e. where your bag will fasten. For the sides of the bag

knit by forming a chain in the middle and knitting legs around it. You continue with the same pattern that you knitted the bag, dropping legs, until it is closed

side your bag.


13. After the knitting is complete, place the mesh inside your bag, pin the lining and sew around the edges with a needle.

14. Then adjust the eyelets and add the chain. Finally, sew the magnet.


Your bag is ready!
