ALL TIED UP BAG
This pattern looks like a neatly tied up bundle , or so I
thought.. (hence the name!)
This is a cute pattern, with interesting texture.. and easy enough
for anyone to follow.
Come and join me as we work on this lovely one-row repeat pattern.
This is not my
original pattern and it’s just one of those wonderful free floating
freebies over the net. I am, as usual, writing down my notes, and am
sharing them with you.

Instructions using U.S terminology
Please note that I start all my rows with a ch 1, turning chain for ease.
Please check the top of this blog for easy video tutorials on all stitches used in today's pattern. For your convenience there video tutorials through the blog too
Please read through all my notes before you pick up your hook, so you know just where we're heading in our pattern.
In my patterns I work with the principle of stitch count and body measurement.
This means that you need to work the stitch count in pattern, till you get the measurement (length and/or width) that you need for your project.
You can make this purse to any size, using any yarn and
suitable hook.
Just ensure that you get the stitch count right.
The stitch count is
worked in multiples of 4 plus 3.
We start along the length of our purse.
So start with as many
stitches as you'd need for the length of your purse.
Now the beauty of this
pattern is that we bind a few stitches together.
I found that both the
front and back of the pattern are lovely, so you are going to be stuck deciding
which side to show off!
In this pattern, we will
use what I have called the Wrap Stitch.
Wrap
stitch : For
our Wrap Stitch, wrap 3 dc with one stitch making a small bundle.
In between
two wrap stitches, we will skip one st and it is this ch-sp.
So we start working 3 dc ; the wrap st is worked
in the 4th st and around the last 3 dc made.
So yarn over needle (like you’re going to do a
regular dc), hk (from
front like you are working a fpdc or
front post double crochet) into the sk st and
pull lp from behind the 3 dc’s (3 lps on hk) ; yarn over
and pull through all 3 lps. One wrap st done.
So you
have a neat loop ‘tying up’ all 3 dcs – and your work is reversible.
To
allow your stitches to look neat and ‘breathe’ a bit.. ensure that you keep
that wrapped stitch loose so the 3 dc’s in the centre are not all ‘strangled
in’ together
Take a look at this video on how to work the Wrap stitch https://youtu.be/drDlpLqcHaY
Start with
fsc in a multiple of 4 plus 3. Turn.
Row 1 : dc
in the 1st fsc ;
ch 1, sk next fsc, dc in the next 3 fsc ;
Wrap
st in next st ;
*sk next fsc ; dc in the
next 3 fsc, Wrap st in the next st* ;
rep *to* till end
;
sk next fsc, dc in the
last dc . Turn.
From this row on, you
will sk all the sk-sts of the earlier row, and have your dc’s over
the dc’s of the earlier row, and yes, you guessed it.. your Wrap sts will also
coincide with the Wrap sts of the earlier row.. now how easy is this, right?
This adds to the beauty of this pattern as you have stitches
wrapped both ways - back and front.
Row 2 : dc
in the 1st dc ;
ch 1, sk next st, dc in the next 3 dc ;
Wrap st
in next st ;
*sk next dc ; dc in the
next 3 dc, Wrap st in the next st* ;
rep *to* till end
;
sk next dc, dc in the
last dc . Turn.
Rep Row 2 till you have
a project of the width you desire for your clutch purse… and we’re
done.
Now I’m sure you didn’t expect this superb pattern to be this easy, right !!??

looking patterns are the simplest – and now you know
