Mochila bags seem to be the hot new trend. And now you can make your own Mochila bag, with this easy to read step-by-step Mochila pattern tutorial with lots of photos, charts and text.

What will you receive:
- 1 PDF files in English, this tutorial contains 29 pages.

In the PDF pattern tutorial you will find:

  • 2 charts, 1 for the bottom and 1 for the body of the bag
  • step-by-step instructions
  • list of supplies
  • more than 35 photos
  • a lot of tips and tricks
  • information about the tapestry technique
  • how to change colors
  • how to make a magic loop, buttonholes, drawstring, tassels, strap

This is a medium size Mochila bag.
Bag measures approx.:
- diameter 19 cm (7 1/2 inches) and the height is 31 cm (12 3/16 inches) but all depends on the way you crochet and the size of the crochet hook

For this bag I used Catania Originals (100% cotton, 50 gram / 1 oz 3/4, 125 meter / 137 yds):
• Chocolate No.162, 59 grams
• Camel No. 0179, 56 grams
• Pink Tulip No. 0408,76 grams
• Flesh No. 0257, 57 grams
• Cream No. 0130, 84 grams
So I used 2 balls of cotton per color and a 2 mm crochet needle. You can use 2.5 mm as well.

Have fun!
