    Drawstring bag with a heart
    Pinterest: You can save this to
    Pinterest for later here.
    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.

    Pattern
    The bag
    Start by making an adjustable
    (magic) ring with red yarn.
    Round 1: 8 sc in the adjustable ring. (8
    st in total)
    Introduce the white yarn.
    Round 2: msc inc in every st. (16 st)
    Round 3: *msc inc, 1 msc in the next
    st*, rep ** 8 times. (24 st)
    Round 4: msc; *msc inc, 2 msc*, rep **
    7 times, msc inc, 1 msc. (32 st)
    Round 5: 2 msc; *msc inc, 3 msc*, rep
:
    ** 7 times, msc inc, msc. (40 st)
    Round 6: msc; *msc inc, 4 msc*, rep **
    7 times, msc inc, 3 msc. (48 st)
    Round 7: 4 msc; *msc inc, 5 msc*, rep
    ** 7 times, msc inc, msc. (56 st)
    Round 8-26: msc in every st of the
    prev round. (56 st)
    Making the holes for the string:
    Round 27: 1 msc, *ch 2, skip 2 st of the
    prev round, 2 msc*, rep ** 13 times, ch
    2, skip 2 st of the prev round, 1 msc.
    (56 st)
    Round 28: 1 msc, *2 msc in the ch2
    space of the prev round (make sure to
:
    grab the loose yarn hanging in the ch2
    space in the prev round too), 2 msc*,
    rep ** 13 times, 2 msc in the ch2 space
    of the prev round, 1 msc. (56 st)
    Round 29-33: msc in every st of the
    prev round. (56 st)
    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.

    You can find a more detailed tutorial
    explaining how to read a color chart
    and when and how to change yarn
    color here.

    Photo instructions for the drawstring
    bag with a heart
                   Round 8
:
      1. See general photo instructions
    showing how to make a round base
     here. The first stitch in round 9 is
     white, therefore, complete the last
    stitch in round 8 with the white yarn.
                  Round 9
     2. Then continue working with the
:
                  white yarn.
                   Round 10
     3. In round 10 the 28th stitch is red.
    So, make 26 mscs with the white yarn,
    start making the 27th, but stop when
      you have two loops on your hook.
:
     4. Move the red yarn up, yarn under
    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.
:
                   Round 18
    8. After a while your bag will look like
                     this.
                   Round 27
:
    9. In round 27 you have to make holes
       for a string. See general photo
             instructions here.
                 Round 33
:
    10. When you complete the bag, make
    4 slip stitches to “even out” the edge.
     See general photo instructions here.
    Finished drawstring bag with a heart
    11. Done! Now make a string and weave
     it in. See general photo instructions
        for how to make a string here.
