How to Create Your Own Crochet Bag

You’ll Need

Yarn (any you like);

Crochet hook (dependent on yarn);

Fabric for backing;

Circle wooden or plastic handles;

Decorations.

Instructions

To avoid mistakes with the size of the bag, create a pattern design using unnecessary fabric, make folds, and sew them to the bag. Work according to the provided schemes.

Pay Attention to the Drapery

Turn your work 90 degrees and ruffle your work in 52 points along the sides A-B (C-D).

1 point = 1 row;

Make 26 single crochets along the upper part of the bag and create self-belt plackets for handles. The width should be twice as big as you want. Turn the completed plackets to the right side.

How to Calculate the Quantity of Stitches for Handles

If the handles have a diameter of 15 cm, then make the bottom part of your bag twice bigger and add 5 cm. The total will be 35 cm. In this case, your bag will be in proportion to the handles. However, this rule only works for circular handles.

Sew the backing.
