The Magic of Mochila

I spend a lot of time trawling the internet for yarn, patterns, ideas and to learn new things.  In my travels, I came across a wonderful method of Tapestry Crochet, which is from Central America and, mainly Honduras, Columbia and Guatemala, called Mochila. Mochila actually means 'backpack' but has become the term for this form of Tapestry Crochet. It's one of those things you find and it makes your mouth water with excitement, mainly because it's so, so beautiful. Here are some examples of the Wayuu Mochila .

How to Crochet an Oval base for a Bag or Basket

Before you attempt an oval shape, you should know how to chain (ch), double crochet (dc), and work in the round. You will need yarn and the appropriate (or one size smaller) crochet hook.

Step 1 Begin by chaining a number of stitches (sts). The number chained determines the size of your oval. For this tutorial, I have chained seven. For a bag you will want to chain a lot more, depending on the thickness of the yarn and the size of the bag you want to make. Step 1.
