The Sak bag at Spiegel

[angieInCA]

I found this bag on the Spiegel site and would love to attempt something like it but I'm trying to decide what stitch the body is done in. I think it is a Tunisian stitch and I know nothing about Tunisian crochet. Do any of you have an idea or a suggestion what stitch would give similar results?

 

Here is the link to the bag.

Good news, it's not tunisian. It's the basketweave stitch done with fpdcs and bpdcs.

Thanks, I thought that too but they also look like they could be triples to me. I think the dcs would work well though. Now to decide what yarn to use.

Let's see...

Row 1: Dc across

Row 2: (FPdc in 1st 4 dc, BPdc in next 4 dc) across.

Row 3: Rep Row 2, matching up post stitches from previous row.

Row 4: (BPdc in 1st 4 dc, FPdc in next 4 dc) across.

Row 5: Rep Row 4, matching up post stitches from previous row.

 

Rep Rows 2-5 until desired size.

 

 

It's not too hard...YOU CAN DO IT!! :cheer:cheer
