PATTERN NOTES
Due to the large number of yarn
ends, it is best to crochet them in

the start and ends of the rows.
Alternatively, weave in with a
yarn needle at the end. Try not
to leave ends too long.

and we promise it won’t be
difficult! There is a tutorial

When filling in petals with
running stitch, please refer to the

Rosina is a Devon-based crochet
designer who loves colour and

how brilliant crochet is on her

PATTERN NOTES
No turns are made in the pattern
unless otherwise stated.
The bottom of the first round
of foundation treble needs to
be sewn closed with a couple
of stitches before adding the
yarn B round.

Change colour on last pull

colour.

For the “pop” section, carry

crocheting over it.

SPECIAL STITCHES
3tr3below: Work 1tr in each of
next three missed sts which are
three rows below current row,
working in front of both rows
of ch-sps.

PATTERN NOTES
This bag is made from two
identical crocheted panels,
worked from the bottom up.
Once finished, they are sewn

78 Inside Crochet

together, and box corners are
sewn into the bottom corners
to add depth. A fabric lining
is made and inserted into bag
(with optional cardboard base
for strength), handles are placed
between lining and panels, then
everything is stitched securely
into place. Two popper fasteners
are sewn on inside (optional).

The vertical lines in the pattern
are formed by making two rows
of ch-sps over a missed stitch
then working 1tr in this missed st
three rows later. All tr are worked
in a missed st of same colour
three rows below, working on
RS, referred to in the pattern as
“tr 3 below”.

Each chart row represents two
rows worked in the same colour.
The first row sets the pattern,
the second row reinforces it.
The first square of the Chart row
indicates the shade of yarn used
in those two pattern rows. Every
row starts and finishes with 1ch
(which does not count as a st)
then work 1dc (in working colour
for those two rows). If a tr or a
dc is made in the first row, a dc
is made on top in the next row. If
a ch-sp is made in the first row,
the same ch-sp is worked in the
next row.

When a single square appears
in the row which is a different
colour from the colour in use, you
will make a chain space of 2ch to
“miss” the stitch below; for two
squares it’s 3ch, for three squares
it’s 4ch, and so on (this stops the
work from pulling). This chain
space, made in both rows of the
same colour, will be filled in later
with a ‘tr 3 below’ worked in
front of the chains into a missed
stitch three rows below.

We have all our patterns checked professionally and try our hardest to ensure all pattern text is
correct at time of going to press. Unfortunately mistakes do occasionally occur and any errata
that we are aware of can be found on our errata pages www.insidecrochet.co.uk/errata.
Please do let us know if you find any mistakes by emailing [email protected]
The result of the finished project will vary depending on the yarn used. We always
recommend swatching before beginning a new crochet project and using the yarn suggested
for best results. However, if you decide to use an alternative, ensure you swatch thoroughly to
achieve the correct tension provided in the pattern.
