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 10.5 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 cutlery holder.
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.

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 34 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.
