Tarot Case and Reading Mat Pattern with photos and complete video guide!

Waistcoat Stitch
The waistcoat stitch is what creates a great, dense fabric for this project.
A waistcoat stitch is worked identically to a single crochet, except you go through the post of the next single crochet, under the horizontal bar and between the legs.
For more information on how to do this stitch, please see the complete video guide for this pattern on youtube.

Notes
Video and photos use the color Ice Blue instead of Pacific, but I feel like Pacific would be a better choice for this piece.
The reading mat is worked with the Catherine’s Wheel stitch.
This bag fits a standard deck of tarot cards. For larger decks, add stitches in multiples of 6 to maintain the gingham and Catherine’s Wheel patterns.
