The Story Behind the Moroccan Tiles Crochet Bag

Well as you could read I called it Cordoba and not Marrakesh and there is a story behind it!

I designed this crochet bag pattern in 2022 when we spent a month in Spain. We traveled around the beautiful cities and I got so inspired by the people, the colors, and the food I had to work on some crochet project.

The Moroccan tile stitch has been in my head for a while.

When we arrived in Cordoba Spain I knew it was the name!

There is a street of flowers in the city that is so amazing and colorful it felt just right! Calleja De Flores

So, I fell that combining the two flairs created a beautiful crochet bag!

Sew A Liner

You can sew a simple fabric lining in your finished bag. Not only does this prevent stretch, it also ensures your tiny items don’t escape.

Great gift idea

If you don’t need a bag of your own (although who can’t use another bag?), a handmade bag can make the perfect gift.

Make sure you finish the row with a sc.  Insert a stitch marker in the loop of last st. the next row will start without turning from the beginning of this row. Forward row

Row 2: Forward row (color B), ch3 at 1st st ( counts as dc), dc3 in ch space from prev row, ch1, dc 3 in next ch space, ch1, dc 3 in next and repeat to end of row, remove the marker, take color A and yarn it over and pull through the thread of color B and tighten. Do not cut the yarn

The Straps – Make 2

You can decide the length of the strap, I made 100 rows

Ch 6, sc 1 in 2nd ch from hook, sc 1 to end of row, ch1 and turn, sc 1 in 1st st and across to end of row. Continue to your preferred length.

Construction

Lay the two panels right side out so the inside of the bag is the wrong side, on top of each other.

Use color A and slowly sc around to join three parts. Do not worry about working each stitch because the sides are a bit messy, just make sure you are joining the panels straight.

Sew the straps on each panel leaving 7 stitches from the side on each side.

You can modify the straps as you prefer.

Finishing

Secure the yarn, weave in the ends, and cut the yarn.
