This gorgeous tote bag uses the overlay mosaic crochet technique with colour changing yarn to give a gorgeous effect. The pattern is lovely on the inside as well as the outside. It is made of 4-ply (fingering) weight yarn with a 2.5mm (US B1/C2) hook, and so is a lightweight but very strong bag. Ideal for shopping or the beach! The name comes from a mixture of Diamond & Triangle !!!

The bag is 35cm (13¾in) tall and 31.5cm (12¼in) wide. The handles (reinforced with cord) are long enough to hang on the shoulder at 39cm (15½in) from the top of the bag, but there is plenty of yarn to make the handles longer if the stated yarn is used & create a bag which can be worn as a cross body bag.

Abbreviations are in UK terminology but US equivalents are given.
The pattern is 8 pages long and includes full written instructions, charts, photo’s and video links showing how to use the mosaic crochet technique - it is much easier than it looks !!!

Yarn: The sample was made using Hobbii Twister Cotton in Pastel Crayon (1 ball is enough to make two bags) and Hobbii Rainbow cotton 8/4 in White (2 balls per bag)
