Palermo Bag by isWoolish
What is Being Made
The Palermo Bag is a structured crochet handbag designed by independent designer isWoolish (Tatiana Zuccalà). This intermediate-level project creates a finished bag measuring 13.5 inches wide by 9 inches tall, with a handle length of 12.5 inches, making it a practical everyday carryall. The bag features a lined interior and professional hardware including opening O-rings and a magnetic closure for secure fastening.
Crochet Techniques and Construction
This crochet pattern employs intermediate-level techniques suitable for crafters with foundational crochet skills. A notable construction method involves crocheting with two strands of yarn held together, which creates a thicker, more substantial fabric ideal for a structured bag. This multi-strand approach affects the overall drape and durability of the finished piece. The pattern includes finishing techniques such as lining attachment and hardware installation, elevating it beyond basic crochet work into garment construction territory.
Stitches and Stitch Work
While the PDF excerpt does not specify individual stitch names, the gauge specification of 15 stitches and 17 rows per 10 centimeters (4 inches) indicates the pattern uses standard crochet stitches worked at a consistent tension. This gauge measurement is essential for achieving the correct finished dimensions and ensuring the bag holds its structured shape.
Materials and Yarn Specifications
Yarn: The Palermo Bag is designed using Cable4 DK weight yarn (also called 8 ply), a medium-weight option suitable for detailed stitch definition. The pattern calls for two colors: Light Beige and Black, with 2 balls of each color required. Each ball weighs 100 grams (3.53 ounces) and measures 205 meters (224 yards). The yarn composition is 100% cotton, making this bag breathable, durable, and suitable for various seasons and climates. The pattern notes that other DK weight yarns with similar characteristics may be substituted.
Tools: A 5mm crochet hook (US H-8 size) is used for this project, which pairs appropriately with the DK weight yarn and the two-strand construction method.
Additional Materials and Finishing
- Lining fabric: 80 centimeters by 35 centimeters (31.5 inches by 14 inches) for interior bag lining
- Two opening O-rings with 2.5 centimeter (0.98 inch) inner diameter for handle attachment
- Magnetic closure for secure bag closure
- Tapestry needle for weaving in ends and attaching hardware
The inclusion of professional-grade hardware and lining fabric transforms this crochet project into a polished, finished accessory suitable for everyday use.
