How to Create a Stylish Crochet Bag Using Egg-Plant Yarn

You’ll Need

100g of egg-plant color 100% wool yarn (40m/50g);

Crochet hook size 10;

Ball of leather lace 3 mm wide in black color;

Chain handle 85 cm long and 2 cm wide.

Size

13 x 20 cm (without handle).

Used Patterns

Main pattern: Work according to the scheme with straight and reversed rows. Start every row with 2 chain stitches increase instead of the 1^st single crochet and 3 chain stitches increase for the 1^st double crochet.

Instructions

Make 56 chain stitches with egg-plant yarn and make the 1^st double crochet in the 5^th chain stitch from the crochet hook. After that, make the main part of the bag according to the scheme, repeating the pattern 8 times in a row. Make 11 rows in height. For the sides, create a rectangle: 6 double crochets x 8 times. For this, make 9 chain stitches and make the 1^st double crochet in the 5^th stitch from the crochet hook. Make 1 double crochet in every chain stitch = the 1^st row.

Next row: 3 chain stitches increase and 5 double crochets in every double crochet of the previous row. Cut the yarn after completing 8 rows.

Assembly

Fasten the main detail with 1 row of single crochets using leather lace, catching side parts. For this, make the side detail 10 cm from the upper short side. First, sew along one crossed side, then along the lower short and second crossed side. Then, fasten the main part of the bag with single crochets, catching sides. Make 1 single crochet in the 1^st single crochet at the upper edge of the side. Fasten the flap with single crochets.

Sew on the handles.
