A Mochila is made with single crochet stitch through the back loop (US terms). For this pattern you crochet over 3 yarns. This will make the clutch firm. 
A Mochila is crocheted with a small hook. A 2 mm hook is used most often. A 1,75, 2,25 or 2,5 mm hook can also be used.

Tension/gauge:

For a Mochila it is important that you have an even tension. You need to have about 7 to 8 stitches in 2 cm / 9 to 10 stitches in 1 inch. 2 rounds are 0,9 mm high.

Materials: 

This Mochila clutch is made with mercerized cotton, 125 meter / 137 yards per 50 gram. For the gold accent color, I used Durable Glam.

Materials used:
(based on 50 gram skeins, of the recommended yarn. See yarn suggestions above.)

Size: 

The bottom of this clutch is about 23 cm by 2 cm / 9 inch by 0.8 inch. The height of the clutch is about 14 cm / 5.5 inch.

If you use different yarn or your tension is different, the measurements can be different.
