Travella Toiletry Bag

Remember the Cool Wool blanket by Anuskay, so huggable and stylish? Well, today she brings you a matching toiletry bag, practical and ideal for decorating any room, knitted with the same quality: Rubí Cool Wool. Shall we begin?

MATERIALS

3 skeins of Rubí Cool Wool merino wool

8 mm hook (preferably metal). If you knit very loosely, a smaller hook.

Stitch marker

Scissors

Leather strips 2 of 15 cm

Screw rivets

Metal washers

HOW TO KNIT THE PATTERN?

The #travellA consists of 2 pieces. Lid + body with base. The lid and the base are crocheted the same flat part, in normal single crochet, and the body is crocheted in centered single crochet (although you can also crochet it in normal single crochet and it will look beautiful).

Trukinuska: Remove the labels from the skeins and make a ball with each of them by twisting the wool.

LID

-Round 1. Start by making a magic ring of 8 sts. (Total 8 sts.) Always mark the first stitch. Close with a slip stitch.

-Round 2. Double in all stitches. This means working 2 sc in each stitch. (Total 16 sts)

-Round 3. Double stitches one yes, one no. Sequence: work two sc together in stitches 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. (Total 24 stitches)

-Round 4. Double stitches every 3, starting with the first (work two sc together in stitches 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22). (Total 32 stitches)

– Round 5. Chain 1 and work a complete round in single crochet, but only picking up the back loop. (Total 32 stitches). Close with a slip stitch in the last stitch of the beginning chain.

-Round 6. Chain 1 and work a round in normal single crochet (picking up the entire chain). (Total 32 stitches) In the last stitch, make a slip stitch. Cut the yarn. The lid is now finished.

BASE

It's crocheted the same way as the lid:

-Round 1. Start by making a magic ring of 8 sts. (Total 8 sts.) Always mark the first stitch.

-Round 2. Double in all stitches. This means working 2 sc in each stitch. (Total 16 sts)

-Round 3. Double stitches one yes, one no. Sequence: work two sc together in stitches 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, and 16. (Total 24 stitches)

-Round 4. Double stitches every 3, starting with the first (work two sc together in stitches 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22). (Total 32 stitches)

– Round 5. Chain 1 and work a complete round in single crochet, but only picking up the back loop. (Total 32 stitches). Close with a slip stitch in the last stitch of the beginning chain.

-Round 6. Chain 1 and work a full round in single crochet (picking up the entire chain from the previous round). (Total 32 stitches) In the last stitch, chain 1.

BODY

-Round 1. Work this round in single crochet, but only picking up the back loop. Mark the first stitch. (Total 32 stitches) This way we will begin to build the body of the #travellA.

Note: The last stitch of this round is worked with a centered single crochet.

– Rounds 2 to 6 (inclusive) in centered single crochet, continue crocheting without closing rounds until the end of the entire body.

Note: If centered single crochet is too difficult, you can do normal single crochet. Fasten off the yarn. You are almost finished.

ATTACHING LEATHER STRIPS

LABEL STRIP

We engrave the name onto the leather strip that will be our label using metal stamps. Make 1 hole in each end of the strip with scissors and attach the rivets.

HANDLE STRAP

Make 2 holes at the ends, place the screw rivets. Attach them to the lid with 2 crossed strips of the same material, which you tie with a knot, the same for the front label.
