EASY PEASY DRAWSTRING CIRCUALR CUSHION BACK

If you would prefer to make a simple draw string back to you cushion, continue to crochet a number of rounds in the dc [tr], after the 12 rounds of sc, [dc], until the tube almost meets at the back of the cushion.

Add a last row of dc [tr], and make a draw string  and thread it through the last row pull up and you have another easy alternative to a round cushion fastening.

This pictures is of a drawstring back made in dc [tr] instead of sc [dc], 

 DRAWSTRING PATTERN

Make a finger wrap of 4 wraps.

12sc (12dc)into ring, sl st, to complete

ch about 90sts, long enough to allow a cushion pad through the hole.

Then do 6sc (6dc) into the second st from the hook, one side of the ch cord 

and 6sc (6dc)the other side of the ch cord, sl st to complete.

Weave the drawstring in and out of every two dc on the last round of cushion opening. 

Pull up and tie in a bow.

this method makes for an easy and no sew cushion fastening.

SMALLER PROJECT BAG..same pattern as the wool sack

Made another smaller version of the wool sack yesterday only 8 increase rounds and 23 side rounds and a thicker drawstring...4 strands with a 6mm hook..otherwise its made the same as the WOOL SACK just less of it!!

Looking at them side by side the one looks thicker yarn but its still only DK Double strand

It's just big enough to hold a single project 8-12 balls of yarn hook etc....or it could be a shoulder bag but l would add a shoulder strap if l was using it for that

the DK x 2 strands really is fast to crochet made this bag in about 7 hours one sitting started out as a bath mat though but l forgot l was making a bath mat and it turned into a bag hehe
