Classy, Black And White, Houndstooth Dinner Bag

 You can call this an arm bag or a dinner bag. I used black and white nylon yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. I also use plastic canvas and linen inside the bag and a zip on top. 


The tutorial video : 



I did a front panel, a back panel, 2 rows for the zip and 2 bag strap.


Front And Back Panel (both same size)

For houndstooth stitch, you need odd numbers. For the foundation chain, I did 31 stitch. I work on the bump side of the foundation chain. Start from the 2nd stitch from hook, do a single crochet. Next, do a double crochet. Next do a single crochet follow by a double crochet. Repeat the same until end of the row. 

At the end of the row, change color when we yarn over the double crochet. Refer to video tutorial. Chain 1, turn the work and continue the above single crochet follow by double crochet, and repeat until the end of the row. Bring the 1st color along when you crochet. 

Start every row with a single crochet and end every row with a double crochet. Make sure every single crochet is above the previous double crochet and every double crochet is above the previous rows' single crochet. 

Continue until you have the length that you want. Cut the plastic canvas, slightly smaller than the front and back panel. Cut the linen too, same size as the plastic canvas. I used needle and sewing thread to fasten the plastic canvas onto the front panel, and do the same on the back panel. I cover the plastic canvas with a cloth linen. I sew the linen onto the panel with a needle and sewing thread. 


Zip 

Make 2 rows of houndstooth stitch, with the same number of foundation chain as the front and back panel, in my case is chain 31. Add 1 more row of single crochet. Make 2 of these strap. Sew it on the zip, the single crochet part to the zip, with a needle a thread. Then use the same type of nylon yarn and sew the zip to the front and back panel with a tapestry needle. 


Bag Strap

I did chain 7 for the foundation chain. Build the houndstooth pattern until the length that you want. I sew the bag strap all around the front and back panel using the same nylon yarn and a tapestry needle. Refer to tutorial video.
