What Is Being Made

The Siril Bag is a structured crochet tote bag designed by isWoolish (Tatiana Zuccalà) and available in three size options: Small, Medium, and Large. This project creates a practical, everyday carryall with a defined rectangular silhouette, featuring a flat bottom and dual handles for comfortable carrying.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This beginner-friendly crochet pattern utilizes fundamental crochet techniques suitable for crafters new to the craft. The primary stitch used throughout the Siril Bag is the single crochet, which creates a tight, dense fabric ideal for structured bags. The pattern works at a specific gauge of 13 single crochet stitches and 14 rows per 10 centimeters (4 inches), ensuring proper sizing and fabric integrity across all three size options.

Materials and Tools

The Siril Bag requires a 5 mm (US H-8) crochet hook and super bulky weight yarn. The designer specifies Paintbox Yarns Recycled Ribbon in Mint as the featured yarn, though substitutions with yarns of equivalent weight and yardage characteristics are acceptable.

Yarn quantities vary by size:

• Size S: 2 balls of Paintbox Yarns Recycled Ribbon (each ball contains 250g / 8.8 oz with 120m / 131 yards length)
• Size M: 2.5 balls of Paintbox Yarns Recycled Ribbon (each ball contains 250g / 8.8 oz with 120m / 131 yards length)
• Size L: 3 balls of Paintbox Yarns Recycled Ribbon (each ball contains 250g / 8.8 oz with 120m / 131 yards length)

The use of super bulky yarn paired with a 5 mm hook allows for rapid project completion, making the Siril Bag an ideal choice for beginners seeking quick gratification and visible progress. The Paintbox Yarns Recycled Ribbon adds an eco-conscious element to the finished bag while providing excellent stitch definition and structure.
