Diamond Bag

Update as of August 2020: This was originally posted on my now defunct tumblr blog. I am consolidating all of my old posts for posterity and updating the posts as I see fit for the new layout and style of this space.

I have always wanted to make this bag ever since I saw it on Ravelry years ago. Back then I think it had another name in another language with a very unreadable diagram.

Project Details

Pattern Name: Bolso con Rombos / Bag with Diamonds by Coats Design Team and Bolso con Rombos / Bag with Diamonds by EmmHouse
Pattern Description: Available only in Finnish
Yarn Used: Baguio Cotton Yarn from Yarn Source Manila in Beige
Hook Size: 2.00mm
Ravelry Entry: Diamond Bag

For this version of the bag I used the English version from www.emmhouse21.blogspot.com. Here you can find bigger version ( 38cm x 38cm - 15”x15”) of the bag with longer handle (60cm - 24”) and strengthen and reinforce bottom.

I used a thinner yarn so I repeated the bag pattern twice. This will be a very fast project when using thicker yarn. Perfect as Christmas gifts!

I also plan to line this, I already have my lining fabric ready. I actually planned on sharing this after I lined it but decided to do the lining post in another post because I have a lot of crocheted items to line.

What’s on your hooks?
