Assembly / Finishing
Fasten off and weave in all ends securely using a tapestry needle. For a bag, you may wish to add a fabric lining and attach handles or a strap. If you are adding a skull motif, use surface crochet or embroidery techniques with black and white yarn to create the design on the side of your cylinder.
Tips
- Use a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round, especially if not joining with a slip stitch.
- Ensure your tension is consistent to achieve the intended gauge. Crocheting a gauge swatch is highly recommended to ensure the finished object meets your expectations.
- For a seamless look, you can work in continuous rounds (without joining and chaining). If you do this, place a stitch marker in the first stitch of each round and move it up as you go.
