Stiallach Bag Collection crochet pattern - digital or hard copy

£6.00

 

Stiallach means striped or stripy in Gaelic - perfect for this very stripy collection of purses and bags.

There are six patterns in total, all working from the same central striped theme. This pattern is 12 pages long with comprehensive notes, charts and instructions:

1 - Coin Purse 1 - sized to hold a bit of money and your travel/debit cards. 11cm wide & 8cm high. 
2 - Coin Purse 2 - sized to hold a bit of money and your travel/debit cards. 11cm wide & 8cm high. 
3 - Festival Purse - the perfect size to take to festivals and days out. It will fit the festival essentials (money, make-up, phone). 16cm wide & 12cm high. 
4 - Clutch Purse - a decent sized bag for a night out. It will even house your sun shades. 21cm wide & 16cm high.
5 - Handbag - It does what it says on the tin. 28.5cm wide & 29cm high. 
6 - Laptop Bag - It easily fits a MacBook Pro. 28.5cm wide & 37.5cm high.

The pattern structure is simple once you have mastered intarsia crochet. All of the projects are worked in rows apart from the base of the handbag/laptop bag which is worked in the round.

Pattern Tutorial: To accompany this pattern I have created a pattern tutorial. This is available through a private YouTube link that can only be accessed by people that have bought the Stiallach Collection.

The tutorial takes you through the materials needed and key elements such as changing colours, intarsia crochet, yarn management, adding zips/linings and seaming up etc.

If you make anything from the Stiallach Collection, please do upload your WIPs and FOs on Ravelry. It would be great to see it on Instagram too - #StiallachCollection #FayDHDesigns

Yarn: Erika Knight Gossypium Cotton 50g/100m (109yds) 

Yarn substitutes: Something with the same or very similar meterage.  It can be a different blend but be aware that meterage requirements will change if you substitute yarns.  Other cotton-based yarns of similar weights can also be used, such as the Yarn and Colours Charming range which is a cotton/acrylic mix. You need a yarn with a high twist that can create a dense, durable fabric but won't be harsh to work with.

Product materials, sourcing and PoM Rating

This product was originated by me at Fay Dashper-Hughes Designs.  I work with a local printer and they help me to source recycled paper for my patterns.  This pattern is printed on paper that is 50% recycled coffee cups and 50% virgin fibre.

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent.  No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage.  I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods.  I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
