Materials Needed:
- Yarn: Cotton Cord yarn, 90% cotton and 10% polyester, 2mm thickness.
- Crochet Hook: 3mm.
- Other Tools: Scissors, 4 stitch markers, yarn needle, notebook, pen, and ruler.
Base of the Bag
Start a Slip Knot:
- Leave about 1ft yarn tail.
- Make a slip knot on your hook.
Crocheting the Base:
- Chain until you have 10 stitches.
- Turn your work to start working in top stitches, creating single crochets across for a total of 10 single crochets.
Creating the Rectangular Base:
- Continue to create one single crochet in each stitch across for a total of 49 rows.
Measure:
- The base should be approximately 22cm in length and 5cm in width.
Body of the Bag
Setting Up the Base Edges:
- Mark the first stitch of your base with a stitch marker.
- Work around the edge of the base, doing one double crochet into each space around, ending up with 49 stitches on each side.
- In each corner place two double crochets to smoothly turn the edges.
Building the Body:
- For the first round above the base, chain two (this does not count as a stitch), and then double crochet in every stitch around.
- Continue to work in rounds, creating a double crochet in each stitch.
- After completing 28 rounds, or reaching your desired bag height, measure; the body should be approximately 9 inches tall.
Making the Straps
Marking for Straps:
- Divide the top openings into sections to create two strap gaps. Mark these with stitch markers.
- For straps, mark 22 stitches for each strap and 15 to 39 stitches across the bag side for the gaps.
Making the Straps:
- Chain 60 (or desired length) for each strap.
- Connect the chains with a single crochet into the marked stitch on the opposite side.
Finishing Touches
Slip Stitch Rounds:
- Work two final rounds of slip stitches around the top edge to strengthen and give a finished look.
- Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
Adding the Lining
Measure and Cut the Fabric
Width:
- 32 cm + 2 cm seam allowance = 34 cm.
Height:
- 24 cm, double + 2 cm seam allowance = 52 cm (because it's folded).
Sewing the Lining:
- Fold the fabric right sides together and sew along the sides and bottom.
- Sew corners to fit the base of the bag perfectly.
- Fold the top edge of the lining inside about 2 cm and pin it to the top of the crochet bag.
- Hand-stitch the lining to the bag carefully around the top edge.
