Flat out is a simple circular crochet bag with a drawstring closure. Great for makeup, toiletries, dice or other trinkets.

Skills Used:
This is a beginner friendly pattern using simple crochet stitches. Knowledge of basic crochet stitches, techniques and terminology is assumed.
You’ll be working flat circles in continual rounds with simple increases, chaining and skipping stitches. You may wish to use the invisible join when fastening off or changing colours

Materials
You will need a 3.5mm crochet hook and approximately 100g of fingering weight / 4 ply cotton or cotton bamboo yarn split between colours of your choice.
The item pictured uses Scheepjes Bamboo Soft, fingering weight, 50% Bamboo, 50% Cotton, 50g ball= 150m. Amounts and shades of each colour listed below;
Approximately 40g (120m/132yds) of Colour A = Smoky Diamond (Shade 263)
Approximately 40g (120m/132yds) of Colour B = Antique Silver (Shade 264)
Approximately 20g (60m/66yds) of Colour C = Jade Lapis (Shade 258)
I also recommend using a stitch marker to mark the start of each round.

Finished size
The finished bag is offered in one size. It has a diameter of 38cm when laid flat.
When filled and closed up, the circumference measures 55cm, the width from side to side is 18cm and the height is 9cm.

The size and shape of the bag will change depending on its contents, so these measurements are a rough guide only. Guidance is given in the pattern as to how to adjust the finished size of the bag.
