Cecelia Tapestry Bag

Designed by Amber Millard
 NOTES
- This pattern is worked from the top to the bottom in 3 sections:
the Base, the Sides, and the Handles. The base is worked flat in
back and forth rows. The Sides and the Handles are worked in
the round with a slip st into the first st of the rnd.

- The ch 1 at the beginning of the row/rnd does not count as a

stitch.

- Following the ch 1, the first st is worked into the same st as

join.

- Every stitch in the sides portion is a single crochet. The

directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B,
etc…) and the number in the parentheses tells you how many
stitches to make.

- You need to know how to work into the back loop only (BLO)
for this pattern. At the end of the rnd, slip st into both loops to
help keep your seam straight.

- In the example, the inactive yarn is carried behind the active.

- The sample is size medium: color A is white, and color B is the

variegated purples yarn.

BASE - all stitches for base are worked into both loops
Sizing as follows: small (medium)

Row 1: A: Ch 34 (56), sc into the second ch from the hook and

into the next 32 (54) sts - 33 (55) sc

Rows 2 - 11: Ch 1, turn, sc into the next 33 (55) sts - 33 (55) sc

YARN
Aran/medium/size #4 yarn in at least 2 colors - sample shown in Rnd 12: Ch 1, turn, sc into the next 33 (55) sts, ch 1 at the corner

Small: 4.2 oz / 225 yds total: color B approx. 88 yds corner and rotate your piece, sc into the next 33 (55) sts across
Medium: 10oz / 530 yds total: color B approx. 261 yds the other side of the chain on row 1, ch 1 at the corner and rotate
Yarn needle your piece, sc into the next 11 row ends, ch 1 at the corner and
rotate your piece, slip st into the first st - 88 (132) sc, 4 ch-1
HOOK spaces
H/5.0 mm hook (or size to obtain gauge)
SIDES
GAUGE (save time and check your gauge!)
17 sc x 14 rows = 4” blocked Notes
- Every stitch in this section is a single crochet. The following
ABBREVIATIONS directions will only tell you what color (ie: Color A, Color B,
Ch = chain etc…) and the number in the parentheses then tells you how
Sc = single crochet many single crochets to make.
Rnd(s) - round(s)
sc2tog = single crochet 2 together (decrease) - Following rnd 12 each st of the sides is worked into the back
St(s) = stitch(es) loop only. Slip st into both loops at the end of the rnd to keep
BLO = back loops only your seam straight.

FINISHED DIMENSIONS: - Following the ch 1, the first st is worked into the same st as
SMALL join.
Diameter: 10.5” , Height: 8.5 -9” (top of handles, not including
handles extended) - For rnd 13 you will not be working into the ch-1 spaces at the
corners of rnd 12.
MEDIUM
Diameter: 15.5” , Height: 15” -15.5” (top of handles, not including I suggest working this section in the back loop only, it makes
handles extended) the carried yarn less noticeable (although it can peek through)
and it combats the lean that tapestry can have. I also quite like
that it gives your final product a little bit of texture. If you work

2
BLO, make sure you slip st into both loops at the end of the rnd,
as it helps to keep your seam relatively straight. Please note, I
write my tapestry patterns in an abbreviated manner because
all the stitches are single crochet, so you just need to know
how many stitches make in what color.
