✿Diamond bow bag pattern ✿

Part 1:

Base

Round 1: Ch 17

Round 2-41: Start in the 2nd st, insert 1sc in each st <16>

Round 42: Insert 1sc all around the base, make sure that you insert it through each rows/stitches. At the end you MUST have 112 sts. The number is important because that is what’s going to help you make the diamond pattern. For more detailed instruction, I explained it at (5:07). Once you have done making 112 sts, go ahead and sl st into the first st.

Round 1: Ch3 / make a fake dc (tutorial for the fake dc: 11:33). I recommend that you use the fake dc method as your bag will turned out cleaner than the ch3 method. For those who decided to use the ch3 method, you will skip the first st as your ch3 count as your 1st dc. Then, after you chained 3 or make your fake dc. Continue with this pattern.

2dc, (ch1 & sk, 1dc, ch1 & sk, 6dc, ch1 & sk, 6dc) x 6, ch1 & sk, 1dc, ch1 & sk, 6dc, ch1 & sk, 3dc, sl st <112>

Round 2: (Ch3 / make a fake dc), 1dc, (ch1 & sk, 3dc, ch1 &sk, 11dc) x 6, ch1 & sk, 3dc, ch1 & sk, 9dc, sl st <112>

Round 3: (Ch3 / make a fake dc), (ch1 & sk, 5dc, ch1 & sk, 9dc) x 6, ch1 & sk, 5dc, ch1 & sk, 8dc, sl st <112>

Round 4:

Ch3 method: skip the 1st st, and sl st into the 2nd st. Then, the ch3 is going to act as your 1st dc. So, just continue with the rest of the pattern for R4.

Fake dc method: skip the 1st st, then make a fake dc into the 2nd st.

Now, continue with this pattern.

★ Starting from R13 - 18 you will need to skip the 1st stitch and start from the 2nd st. This is because if you see on the chart, what’s supposed to be our 1st stitch is a ch1 and skip. So, we cannot do ch1 and skip as our 1st stitch which is why you need to skip the 1st stitch and start in the 2nd stitch. Later on, you will make up the 1st stitch that skip by chaining 1. For more detailed instruction you can watch the youtube video (53:02).

This is going to be your first step for R13 - 18. So for the first step on each round I will just label it with a ♥︎. Whenever there’s a ♥︎, you will make this step:

Ch3 method: skip the 1st st, and sl st into the 2nd st. Then, the ch3 is going to act as your 1st dc. So, just continue with the rest of the pattern for R13.

Fake dc method: skip the 1st st, then make a fake dc into the 2nd st.
