Tapestry Crochet Yoga Mat Bag

I finally finished my yoga mat bag. It only took me 5 months... As I explained in my intial blog about the project, the bag is made using Tapestry Crochet". Its a relatively simple technique where you use a small hook and a worsted weight yarn to produce a tightly woven fabric.

• materials
  • six balls Paton's Classic Merino Wool (3 in Black, 3 in Natural Mix).
  • Size D crochet hook
  • one stitch marker
  • one 2-inch dual adjustable side-squeeze buckle (optional, for strap)
• pattern
  • The basic pattern for this bag is the tube shape often used in tapestry crochet projects (such as this beaded hat)
  • The details of the pattern I'm not going to publish, yet. I'm thinking about submitting the pattern to a magazine, so I don't want to break any of their rules about the pattern being previously published. I doubt it will get accepted, but I think it will be fun to try.
