Wrist bags are a must-have. Small and
easy to carry, they represent the epitome of practicality. The only thing to keep
in mind is that, as they are a compact bag, you will only have room for the essentials.
It's a bit like the Marie Kondo of bags!
Here we have created a bag perfect for
both the daytime and the evening. We have combined two of our most popular
yarns: Kyoto, in recycled cotton and polyester and with super refined touches
of colour, and Stromboli, a pure cotton tape. The colour combinations are
endless because on the store you can find many shades of both Kyoto and
Stromboli.
The wrist bag will turn out like the
photos only if you use our yarns.
Shall we?

DIMENSIONS OF THE FINISHED PIECE

With the Kyoto yarn, loosely cast on 60 chains.
Round 1 (right side): insert Stromboli and continue working with Kyoto by passing the ribbon inside the stitches, work 2 single crochets in the second chain stitch from the hook, 1 single crochet in each chain until the penultimate chain, 4 single crochets in the last chain, rotate the work 90° anti-clockwise and continue working on the opposite side of the chains, 1 single crochet in each chain up to the second starting chain, 2 single crochets in the first starting chain. [124 single crochets]
Do not bind off the round with the slip stitch but continue to work in a spiral, place a stitch marker in the last stitch of the round and move it to the corresponding stitch at each round (it serves to mark the end of the round).
From round 2 to round 33: continue working with Kyoto by passing the Stromboli yarn inside the stitches, 1 single crochet in each stitch from the previous round. [124 single crochets]
Cut the threads.
With Kyoto, leave a long portion and loosely start 14 chains.
Row 1: from the second chain on the hook work 1 single crochet in each chain [14 single crochets]
row 2: 1 chain (a stitch does not count as 1 from here on), turn, work a single crochet in each stitch of the previous row until the end of the row [14 single crochets]
from row 3 to row 31: repeat row 2.
Cut the yarn leaving a long portion for sewing.
Repeat rows 1 and 2 from the short handle and then continue with the following process.
From row 3 to row 62: repeat row 2 from the short handle.
Cut the thread leaving a long portion for sewing.
Lay the bag out on the work surface and flatten it, mark the sides where the fold is formed with two stitch markers (62 single crochets between each stitch marker).
With the yarn left over when casting on and closing the handles, sew them to the bag with 4 stitches away from the stitch markers.
With Kyoto work a single crochet border around the straps and the bag.
Cut and fasten all the threads inside the bag.
Remove the stitch markers.
