This PDF pattern will help you crochet your own ‘This House Is Not A Home’ bag (House bag for short). You’ll be able to download the pattern immediately after purchasing.

The pattern is perfect for advanced beginners – crocheters who are familiar with single, half double and slip stitch, decreasing, tapestry crochet with multiple colours and, ideally, intarsia crochet. Links to tutorials explaining those techniques are included, as well as progress pictures to help you on your way. All instructions are in US terminology. Graph patterns and written instructions are included.

This bag is made up of two panels (front and back) and two straps. When joining the panels, you can choose between a contrasting stitch or an invisible stitch. Adding window panels is optional.

Materials needed:
Yarn: I used DROPS Paris (10 ply / aran / worsted) – seven different colours are needed for the graph
A 5mm crochet hook
A tapestry needle to weave in the ends

⊹ All items have been designed and crocheted by me (Elliyah) with luv. Feel free to DM me on Instagram (@devout_hand) if you have any questions or if you’d like to order a custom piece ⊹
