Materials Needed:
- Yarn (8 ply or DK weight cotton recommended)
- Crochet hook (3.5 mm or E4)
- Sewing needle
- Scissors
- Zipper (20 cm or 8 in length)
- Two 12 mm metal D-rings
- Adjustable bag strap
- Black cotton fabric for lining
- Leather (optional for the top section of the bag)
Pattern Steps:
Starting the Base:
Begin with a Slip Knot:
- Use two strands of cotton yarn, either the same color or different. Make a slip knot on your hook with these two strands.
Chain 27:
- This creates the foundation chain for your bag.
Double Crochet:
- Skip over the two stitches directly below the hook and double crochet into the third.
- Continue to double crochet in each stitch across.
- By the end of this row, you should have a total of 25 double crochets, including the two chains you skipped at the start.
Building the Body:
Continue in Rows:
- For each new row, start with a standing double crochet and continue double crocheting across. If you wish to change colors, simply knot the new yarn and continue.
- The tails can be left inside the bag as they will be hidden by the lining later.
- For a neat edge, make your final double crochet in the strand at the top of the standing double crochet from the previous row.
Work Up Body:
- Work double crochets along the bottom and top of the base panel and two double crochets per stitch up the sides, with two in each corner for a neat finish.
- This begins the body of the bag.
Rounds:
- After completing six rows for the base (measuring about 8cm or 3 inches), start working in rounds for the bag body. Alternate working from the outside and inside in each round to add texture. Continue until you have completed 11 rounds for the body.
Finishing Touches:
Measurements for Lining:
- With the crochet part done, measure the bag to cut your lining.
- Cut a rectangle from the fabric (double the length of your bag plus 2 cm for seam allowance by the width plus 2 cm).
- Sew the sides together, creating a simple bag shape that fits inside your crochet bag.
Attach Zipper:
- Attach the zipper by sewing it to the top edge of the lining.
- Then, with the lining's wrong side out, insert it into the crochet bag and sew to secure.
- Ensure the zipper ends are evenly placed.
Add Hardware:
- Sew the leather pieces (if using) and attach the metal D-rings.
- Finally, attach the adjustable bag strap to the D-rings.
Additional Notes:
- Whenever changing colors, leave the yarn ends inside the bag as they will be covered by the lining.
- You can customize the bag size by adjusting the number of starting chains and rounds.
- Feel free to experiment with different yarn colors and textures to make it uniquely yours.
Final Assembly:
- Hand-stitch the lining to the crochet part carefully, ensuring a neat finish where the zipper and crochet edges meet.
- Attach leather pieces (if used) and hardware last to complete your bag.
