Materials
Yarn: any thin yarn will work
(mercerized cotton works great in
tapestry crochet projects). I used
Tencel 100% lyocell, 50 g = 141 m,
colors: red (318291) and white
(318290).
Hook: as suggested on your yarn
label. I used hook size 2.0 mm.
Abbreviations (US terms)
ch: chain
sl st: slip stitch
sc: single crochet
:
msc: modified single crochet
prev: previous
st: stitch
rep **: repeat from * to *
Notes
The diameter of my drawstring bag is
6.0 cm and the height is 10.0 cm. You
will be working in rounds. For this
pattern you should be familiar with
the tapestry crochet (you can find the
tutorial here). Photo instructions
below show the main steps how to
make a bag. This pattern uses a
modified single crochet: make a
single crochet back loop only, just
instead of yarning over for the last
step, yarn under (see the tutorial here).
:
For this pattern you will work in
continuous rounds, which means that
in the end of a round you don’t join
with a slip stitch, but instead
continue making modified single
crochets in the top of the first stitch of
the round. Remember to use a marker
showing the beginning of each round.
Follow the color chart showing how
you should change colors.

Round 27: 1 msc, *ch 2, skip 2 st of the

(56 st)
Round 28: 1 msc, *2 msc in the ch2
space of the prev round (make sure to

In the end make 4 additional sl st in
the next 4 st “to even out” the edge.
Fasten off.
Making the string
Start by chaining with the red yarn.
The length of the chain should be
around 29 cm long. Make a row of slip
stitches in the third loop of the chain
as it is shown in photo instructions
here.
Color chart
:
How to read the chart
Each square represents a stitch and
its color. In each round you have 56
stitches (56 columns in the chart).
Rows represent rounds (there are 33
rounds, however, the first 7 rounds are
not shown in the color chart: they are
all red and they are the round base of
the bag). For each round you have to
read the row in the chart from right to
left.

explaining how to read a color chart
and when and how to change yarn
color here.

white yarn.
Round 10

and pull the yarn through. Now the red
yarn is ready to be used.
5. Start making the 28th stitch with
the red yarn, but don’t complete it.

6. The next stitch should be white,
therefore, complete it with the white
yarn.
7. Then continue to work with the
white yarn.
