Step-by-Step Pattern
Bag Body
Foundation Chain:
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 20.
Row 1:
- Skip the first chain from the hook.
- Work 19 single crochet (sc) across.
Row 2 – 10:
- Chain 1, turn.
- Work 19 sc across, inserting hook into both loops of each stitch for consistency and durability.
- Repeat this row until you have completed 10 rows.
Working in the Round
Row 11:
- Chain 1, turn.
- Work 56 single crochet (sc) stitches around all edges of the rectangle to start forming the bag sides and bottom.
Rows 12 – 27:
- Repeat Row 11:
- Slip stitch to join, chain 1, then work 56 sc around in continuous rounds.
- This builds height for the sides of the bag.
Creating Strap Holes
Row 28 and onward:
- Begin forming holes along the edge where the strap will be inserted by skipping specific stitches.
- Use stitch markers to mark the stitches that need to be skipped to create neat, evenly spaced holes for the strap.
- Continue working sc rounds, incorporating skipped stitches to form holes for an adjustable strap.
Strap
- Chain 200 (or desired length adjusting for shorter or longer strap).
- Slip stitch (sl st) back along the chain to create a sturdy strap band.
- Use a tapestry needle to sew strap ends to the bag body at the designated strap holes.
Tip: Adjust the chain length to fit your personal preference for the bag’s strap length.
Tutor Suggestions
- Always insert the hook through both loops in sc rows to maintain bag strength and neat edges.
- Use stitch markers while creating strap holes for consistency and ease of tracking.
- Customize the strap length by modifying the initial chain count.
- Assemble strap to bag carefully using tapestry needle to ensure secure attachment and durability.
- Work tension evenly to maintain a professional-looking finish.
Tip
To make a sturdier bag base, consider using a tighter tension or a smaller hook size for the first 10 rows, then switch back to the recommended 5 mm hook for the sides and ruffled section.

This adjustable strap crochet bag is an excellent project for beginners and upscalers alike, combining simplicity with functional style. Its customizable strap and classic single crochet body make it durable and versatile for everyday use.
