Joining Motifs (with Color E – Dark Brown Yarn)
Lay out 6 motifs for the Front Panel: arrange them in a honeycomb pattern, 3 motifs wide and 2 motifs deep.
Lay out another 6 motifs for the Back Panel in the same arrangement.
Using Color E and a tapestry needle or by slip stitching/single crocheting, join the motifs together along corresponding stitches on the edges. Ensure all joins are secure and consistent. Leave the outer perimeter edges of each panel unjoined.
Constructing the Gusset (with Color D – Dark Red/Burgundy Yarn)
Measure the perimeter of one assembled panel (front or back), starting from one top corner, down the side, across the bottom, and up the other side to the other top corner. Subtract the length of the top opening (where the zipper will be).
Ch a number of stitches in Color D that matches this measured length (make sure it’s an even number if working in rounds later, or sufficient for a flat strip).
Work in sc stitches for approximately 3-4 inches (or desired depth of the bag), creating a rectangular strip. FO.
Bag Assembly
Align the Front Panel, Back Panel, and Gusset.
Using Color E, single crochet or whip stitch the gusset strip between the Front and Back Panels, starting and ending at the top corners, leaving the top edge open. This will form the main body of your fanny pack.
Secure all joins tightly and weave in any remaining ends.
Finishing and Embellishments
Zipper Installation: Carefully sew the dark brown zipper into the top opening of the bag. Use a sewing needle and strong thread for a secure attachment.
Strap: Attach a pre-made adjustable fanny pack strap to the sides of the bag, or crochet a simple strap using Color E (e.g., a long strip of sc stitches) and attach it with D-rings.
Tassels: Create multiple tassels using Colors A, B, and D. Make them varying lengths. Thread wooden beads onto the tassel strings. Attach these adorned tassels to the bottom points of the hexagonal motifs along the front and bottom of the bag, as shown in the image.
Decorative Charm: If desired, attach a small decorative button or charm with smaller tassels to the center bottom of the bag for an extra bohemian touch.
