Diamond Pattern Section (Tapestry Crochet)

For this section, you will be working with Color A (Teal) as the background and introducing Colors C (Burnt Orange) and D (Cream) for the diamonds. Carry unused colors loosely behind your work. The pattern repeat is over 15 stitches: (4 sc in Color A, 1 sc in Color C, 1 sc in Color A, 5 sc in Color D, 1 sc in Color A, 1 sc in Color C, 2 sc in Color A). You will work approximately 6 repeats of this pattern around the bag, adjusting as needed for your stitch count. Below are representative rows for a single diamond motif; adapt for the full circumference.

• Rnd 13 (Color A, C, D): Work sc stitches around the entire round, changing colors to create the first row of your diamond pattern.
  Example segment: *Sc in 6 Color A sts, 1 sc in Color C, sc in 3 Color A sts, 1 sc in Color C, sc in 4 Color A sts*. Repeat for Terracotta diamonds, interspersed with Color A.
• Rnd 14 (Color A, C, D): Continue with sc, changing colors to build up the diamond shape. The central Cream diamond will start to emerge here.
  Example segment (for a Cream diamond): *Sc in 4 Color A sts, 1 sc in Color C, 1 sc in Color A, 3 sc in Color D, 1 sc in Color A, 1 sc in Color C, sc in 4 Color A sts*.
• Rnd 15 (Color A, C, D): Continue with sc.
  Example segment (for a Cream diamond): *Sc in 3 Color A sts, 1 sc in Color C, 2 sc in Color A, 5 sc in Color D, 2 sc in Color A, 1 sc in Color C, sc in 3 Color A sts*. (This will be the widest part of the Cream diamond).
• Rnd 16 (Color A, C, D): Continue with sc, decreasing the width of the diamonds.
  Example segment (for a Cream diamond): *Sc in 4 Color A sts, 1 sc in Color C, 1 sc in Color A, 3 sc in Color D, 1 sc in Color A, 1 sc in Color C, sc in 4 Color A sts*.

Finishing

• Add Zipper: Using a sewing needle and matching thread, hand-sew the 9-inch zipper into the opening of the bag. Fold the top edge of the bag inward to create a neat finish for sewing the zipper.
• Attach Strap: Cut two small slits (or use D-rings if preferred) on each side of the bag, near the top, to attach the leather strap. Insert the ends of your leather strap and secure them.
• Make Tassel: Wrap Colors B, C, and A yarn around four fingers about 20-30 times. Tie a piece of yarn tightly around the top of the bundle. Cut the loops at the bottom. Trim to desired length. Attach the tassel to the zipper pull.
• Weave in all remaining yarn ends securely.
