Materials Needed:
- Weight 3 (light/DK) yarn, doubled up
- Crochet hook (size not specified but choose one that works well with double-stranded DK yarn and your gauge)
- Tapestry needle for sewing parts together
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
Instructions
Gauge Swatch
- Use both ends of the skein to double up the yarn.
- Crochet a swatch of 13 stitches by 4 rows. Adjust the number to get a 4-inch wide swatch. Use this to figure out how many stitches you need for the width of your bag.
Bag Panels (Front and Back)
Start:
- Make a slip knot, then chain 39.
Row 1:
- Turn chain and work into the back bumps, starting from the second bump from the hook. Single crochet across (38 SC), chain 1, turn.
Rows 2-27:
- Repeat Row 1. At the end of row 27, don't cut the yarn.
Shaping the top (Decrease rows):
- Continue from the last row of the panel, single crochet into the next 9 stitches, then turn without chaining 1.
- Start decreasing by single crocheting two together over the next two stitches.
- Continue this process for 4 rows to shape the bag’s top.
- Repeat the entire process for the second panel.
Side Panel / Strap:
- Measure the height and width of your completed panels to determine the length of the side panel strip.
- Crochet a strip that matches the total length of all sides you'll be attaching it to.
- For example, if your bag has a height of 31 stitches and a width of 38 stitches, you'll need a side panel strip that covers the perimeter (
