Make a big fashion statement with the Sunburst Diamond Mochila Bag crochet pattern by Ashita Jhaveri! It’s a trendy bucket-style drawstring bag that features a vibrant multicolored design worked with tapestry technique. The wide, sturdy strap makes it really comfortable to wear, while the two bold tassels give off a playful bohemian vibe.
What Materials Do You Need To Make This Mochila Bag?
To make this crochet tapestry drawstring bag, prepare 100% mercerized cotton yarn in sport weight. For example, you can use Schachenmayr Catania Solids, Premier Yarns Afternoon Cotton, or Scheepjes Catona. These yarns are available in a range of colors and will ensure high durability. You will also need a hook sized 2.0 mm or 2.5 mm.
How Much Yarn Do You Need For All Colors?
The designer used five shades, including orange, green, yellow, navy blue, and light brown. You will need two skeins for each of the two main colors, in this case, orange and green. The rest of the colors require only one skein (125 meters per 50 grams).
How Is The Bag Worked In The Round Using Tapestry Crochet?
The pattern works up in continuous rounds. Stitches used for this project include just single crochets worked in the back loops. To give the fabric extra strength, you will carry all the yarns throughout the whole bag. The pattern includes both color graphs and written instructions.
