Zermatt Twin-Set in Adriafil Mohair Stretch – Crochet Bag and Scarf Pattern (Free Downloadable PDF)

The Zermatt Twin-Set is a free, downloadable crochet PDF pattern by Adriafil that includes instructions for two coordinating accessories: a small structured bag and a matching scarf. Both pieces are worked in Adriafil Mohair Stretch yarn in cream (shade no. 11), creating a soft, luxurious twin-set with a cohesive, elegant look. The pattern is ideal for crocheters who want a quick, satisfying project using a single yarn and hook throughout.

The Zermatt Bag

The bag is a compact, structured 20 x 20 cm crocheted purse worked entirely in one piece, making construction straightforward and seaming minimal. Its neat, boxy silhouette is finished with a shaped flap, a decorative closure, and a knotted chain strap.

Construction and Techniques

The bag begins with a 23-stitch foundation chain and is worked entirely in double crochet from the base upward. Once the piece reaches 40 cm in length, shaping begins for the flap: one stitch is decreased on each side every two rows, repeated ten times, creating a neat tapered flap. A buttonhole is then formed using a 7-chain loop followed by a single double crochet at the base of the loop, before the yarn is fastened off.

Making Up and Finishing

The bag is folded in half — excluding the flap — and the side edges are sewn together using a tapestry needle. A cream frog button is sewn to the centre front of the bag, 13 cm from the opening edge, aligning with the buttonhole on the flap. The strap is created by working two 80 cm chains, folding each in half, and sewing the free ends to one side of the opening. The folded ends are then knotted at the wearer's preferred height to adjust the strap length.

Stitches Used

• Chain stitch – used for the foundation chain, buttonhole, and strap
• Single crochet – referenced in the pattern stitches section
• Double crochet – the primary stitch used throughout the bag body and flap

Materials for the Bag

• Adriafil Mohair Stretch yarn, cream, shade no. 11 – 50 g
• Crochet hook size 3.50 mm
• Cream frog button
• Tapestry needle for seaming and finishing

Tension / Gauge

The stated gauge is 11 stitches and 12 rows to 10 x 10 cm worked in double crochet using a 3.50 mm crochet hook. Checking your tension before beginning is recommended to ensure your finished bag matches the stated dimensions of 20 x 20 cm.

The Zermatt Scarf

The matching scarf is a simple, elegant rectangle measuring 29 x 55 cm, designed to wrap and tie using delicate crocheted chain laces rather than buttons or clasps. Its understated construction makes it an excellent project for beginners comfortable with basic crochet stitches, while the Adriafil Mohair Stretch yarn gives it a luxurious, lightweight drape.

Construction and Techniques

The scarf is cast on with a 33-stitch foundation chain and worked entirely in double crochet, with one stitch worked into each base chain from the second chain on the hook. The piece continues in double crochet until it reaches 55 cm in length, at which point the yarn is broken off and bound. No shaping is required, making this a straightforward, relaxing project to work up.

Making Up and Finishing

The scarf is fastened using a charming
