Notes: Decima is a reversible crochet bag that is
worked from the bottom up in the round. It is constructed from two bottom sections (one placed inside the other to make it reversible) plus one top section that joins the two bottom pieces together. There are two strap options, a long version and short version; alternatively, leather or chain straps could be used, or straps can be omitted.

Yarn requirements
The yarn amounts given will be enough for the bag, one long strap and one short strap. However, almost all of the yarn will be used so it is important to match gauge on all three stitch patterns. If in doubt, it is advised to purchase extra yarn.

Gauge
If you are unable to achieve the required row gauge for both Alpine Stitch and Double Seed Stitch, you may need to work more or fewer rounds to reach the measurements given, which may result in requiring additional yarn. Alternatively, the length of the bottom sections may be adjusted to fit your available
yarn; either way, it is important that both bottom sections are the same length before joining.

US crochet terms used throughout.
