Materials Needed:
- Yarn of your choice (use a crochet hook smaller than recommended for tighter stitches)
- Crochet hook (size 4 was used in the tutorial)
- Scissor
- Needle (for sewing the ends)
- Button
Pattern Instructions:
Starting the Bag:
Foundation Chain: Make 30 chains.
- Ensure the chain's length matches your project's dimensions; for this project, it should be around 6 inches when laid flat, equivalent to 60 chains in length in the tutorial context.
Adding an Extra Chain: After the 30 chains, add one more chain to start the first row.
First Row: Start in the second chain from the hook and alternate between one single crochet and one double crochet. The pattern throughout will be single, double, single, double, and so on.
- Finish the row with a double crochet.
Creating the Pattern:
Next Rows: At the beginning of each new row, chain one. Continue with the alternating single and double crochet pattern directly above the corresponding stitches from the previous row. This creates a textured pattern.
- Repeat this step, creating rows to your desired length (the tutorial suggests 9 inches as an optimal length).
Edging and Finishing Touches:
Edging: Once you reach the desired length, chain one, then work a single crochet around the entire perimeter of the bag, adding two single crochets in each corner to maintain a flat edge.
Creating a Buttonhole:
- When you reach a corner suitable for creating a buttonhole (opposite side to where you plan to sew the button), after completing 14 single crochets (or as close to the mid-point as possible), chain 4 (adjust the number of chains based on the size of your button), skip 1 stitch, then continue with the single crochet around.
Completing the Edging: Continue with single crochet until you reach the end of the round; slip stitch to the first single crochet to join.
Sewing and Finishing:
- Sewing Sides: Fasten off the yarn and prepare the piece for sewing by folding it such that the sides align to form the bag. Sew the sides together neatly.
- Attaching the Bottom: If the design requires, sew the bottom part closed to secure the bag's shape, ensuring it's flat and even.
- Sewing the Button: Choose the position for your button on the front of the bag, opposite the buttonhole, and securely sew it in place.
Final Touches:
- Weave in any remaining ends for a neat finish.
- If desired, add more decorative elements or personalize the bag further with embroidery or appliqués.
