The Munro is the simplest bag ever

made. Named after the bonny hills

(munros) of Scotland. When you

climb a hill you call it Òbagging a

munroÓ. So bag yourself one of

these!

Cut 2 circles of a strong

fabric, I used cord, with a

diameter of 15cm.

Make yourself a lovely crocheted rectangle 38cm by 42cm. Do whatever you like!

Granny squares, chevrons, plain oleÓ single crochet the list is endless.

I used an adapted chevron:

Repeats of 12 stiches + 1 and a two stitch turning chain to start.

( So essentially it is DC, DC, DC, (DC Î First set only #) , 2DC, 2DC, DC, DC, DC,

DC2tog, DC2tog, then repeat from the beginning, but without the extra DC)

# an extra DC is added in on the first set of DCÓs only ,on each row, to make sure the

stitches are balanced.

In words: Double crochet in each of the next 3 chain stitches , then double crochet 2

together and double crochet two together again, double crochet in each of the next 3

chain stitches , 2 double crochets in the next chain and then 2 double crochets in the

next chain again.

repeat from *

I changed colour each row.

Now all that's needed is to sew it up. I tacked everything up then hand sewed it .

I gathered up the edge of the side to give it a bit of shape and allow for expansion.

The handles I used were just interfaced strips secured to the base, made from the same

material as the sides of the bag.

This bag definitelyneeds either a base (there is a description of how to do this in the

Desiree Bag tutorial) or fully interfaced lining .

You could add a zip to secure, I have just used a couple of buttons.
