Easy Crochet Popcorn Bag Pattern For Beginners Step By Step

Start making your very own Crochet Popcorn Bag, a fun and stylish project that adds a unique touch to your accessories. This project uses simple crochet techniques paired with the playful popcorn stitch to create a bag that stands out.

Crochet Popcorn Bag

Materials Needed:

615 grams of nautical thread and polypropylene 3mm (ivory color suggested)
Crochet hook size 4.5 mm
Scissors
Lighter
Tape measure
18mm button
Two 3cm articulated rings

Base of the Bag:

Make an initial knot and chain 36 (increase initial chains for a bigger bag, must be a multiple of four).

Measure the chain; it should be 26 centimeters.
Work on the back loops of the chain and make 35 single crochets to the end.
Your piece after row 1 should measure 25 centimeters.
Chain one, turn the piece, and continue with single crochets for a total of 4 rows before the popcorn stitch.

Popcorn Stitch Pattern:

To start the pattern, make a single crochet and then follow the popcorn stitch process.
To form the popcorn stitch:
Insert the needle into the next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through two loops (you'll repeat these steps, pulling loops through the base stitch until you have 6 loops in total on the needle).
Yarn over and pull through all 6 loops on the needle to finish the popcorn stitch.
Separate each popcorn stitch with three single crochets.
End the row with a single crochet as you started.

Building the Pattern:

Next row, only work in single crochets (35 stitches).
Alternate starting each popcorn stitch row with one single crochet and then three single crochets in the next.
Continue this pattern, with a single crochet row in between, until there are 22 rows in total or 6 popcorn stitches vertically on the side of the piece.

Finishing the Body:

After the popcorn rows, work 2 more rows with single crochets.
Circle the entire piece with single crochets for 6 rows to form the sides of the bag.

Assembling and Finishing:

Make the same number of stitches on the other piece so they match when sewing together.
Seam the pieces together using slip stitches on the inside.
After seaming, make 2 more rows of single crochets along the edge.
Attach the handle using carabiner rings folded into the sides of the bag.
Sew on the button with nylon thread for closure.

Making the Handle:

Create an initial knot and chain 6.
Circle back working slip stitches in a spiral until the handle is the desired length (suggested 51cm).
Close the opening of the handle with slip stitches for a neat look.
Sew the handle onto the bag using the carabiner rings.
