The Laptop Bag

The BAG!

ch - chain
sc - single crochet
dc - double crochet
ch sp - chain space  (the space between double crochet groups)

PATTERN:

I used Marble Chunky Yarn - in Log Cabin. It is absolutely beautiful yarn that is for some reason fairly difficult to capture properly on film. Can't say enough how much i love this yarn. Here is a review! 

-Chain the length of whatever electronic device you are trying to carry minus about half an inch.

-Turn and single crochet around your chain adding an extra single crochet as you turn around the opposite end (where you started your chain) Join.

- Ch 2, Sc around a second time, Join.

Row 1 - Ch 3, 2 dc in same space, skip 2 sc, 3 dc in next sc, (skip 2 sc, 3 dc in next sc)* repeat. Join. (depending on the length of your original chain this pattern may not be fully completed. Adjust last segment as needed. It will have evened out by this for the next row)

Row 2 - Ch 3, 2 dc in same space, 3 dc in space between dc group, (3 dc in next ch sp)* repeat. Join. 

Row 3-15 (or however many times you like!) - Repeat Row 2

Row 16 - Ch 2, sc in each stitch around. Join.

Row 17-21 - Repeat Row 16

Row 22 - Ch 1, 16 sc (depending on how big you made your bag this may change, single crochet 1/3 of the way across your bag),  chain 14 (or the length of 1/3 of the bag), skip 14 (or same number you chained), sc 32 (or until 1/3 across the next side),  chain 14 (or the length of 1/3 of the bag), skip 14 (or same number you chained), sc until end, Join.

Row 23 -  Ch 2, sc in each stitch around. Join.

Row 24-27 - Repeat Row 23

Finish off or slip stitch around final row for an extra finishing touch! Weave in end. 

Once I get my sewing machine back from the repair shop on Monday I am going to put in a lining!

If anyone tries this out I would love feedback. This is the first pattern that I have written and I am sure it could use some work.
