Difficulty Level
Easy to Intermediate: Basic stitches like chain, single crochet, and increases make this an approachable project. No complicated shaping required. Ideal for those comfortable with crochet basics.
Materials Needed
- Thick yarn (similar to velvet or plush yarn)
- Crochet hooks sizes 5.5mm / 6.6mm and 8mm
- Magnetic button snaps
- Needle for sewing and weaving ends
- Scissors
- Stitch marker (optional)
- Hot glue (optional for decorations)
Step-by-Step Crochet Pattern
Step 1: Chain Foundation
- Using an 8mm hook, chain 15 stitches plus 1 extra (total 16 chains). This is your base foundation.
- This corresponds to 14 Clover stitches + 1 C stitch mentioned by the tutor.
Step 2: First Row – Single Crochet Round
- Starting in the second chain from hook, work 15 single crochet (sc) stitches across.
- Maintain a total of 15 stitches for the first round, joining or marking your starting point if working in rounds.
Step 3: Continue Single Crochet Around
- Crochet single crochet stitches evenly for the next few rows.
- Crochet 14 single crochet stitches for the next rounds without increasing or decreasing, maintaining stitch count for even sides.
Step 4: Formation of the Bag’s Body
- Work rounds with 14 single crochet stitches along the sides and 3 crochet stitches on each corner area to shape the rectangular bottom.
- Increase stitches on corners by crocheting 2 single crochet stitches in one stitch to allow turning the bag.
- Total stitches per round should come to approx. 40 single crochets after shaping rounds.
Step 5: Crochet Rows 3 to 10
- Continue crocheting an even 40 single crochet stitches per round from the 3rd to 10th round to build the bag’s height and structure.
Step 6: Finishing the Body
- Cut the yarn and weave in all ends securely inside the bag using a needle.
- Use the smaller crochet hook (5.5mm or 6.6mm) to crochet the bag opening rim with a tighter stitch for a neat finish.
Step 7: Attaching the Magnetic Button
- Sew the magnetic button snaps on the two ends of the bag opening for a secure closure.
- Ensure buttons align perfectly to keep the bag closed.
Step 8: Crocheting the Decorative Flower
- Using a small crochet hook (5.5mm), start with a magic circle, then crochet 10 single crochet stitches around.
- Create petals by crocheting 5 petals (each petal formed with chain and slip stitches) around the flower’s center. Use a contrasting color for petals if desired.
- Sew or hot glue the flower onto the front body of the bag.
Step 9: Final Assembly and Touches
- Check the bag’s structure, secure any loose ends, and make sure the flower is firmly attached.
- Optionally, use hot glue for extra security on flower or embellishments.
Uses
- Handy small purse for smartphones, wallets, keys, and small essentials
- Great gift project due to its customizable flower
- Perfect for casual outings or as an accessory to add charm to your outfit
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use yarn with a thicker stem for sturdiness as thinner yarns may lack firmness.
- Do not pull stitches too tight past the initial rounds to allow flexibility.
- Mark your beginning stitch each round to keep track of stitch counts and avoid mistakes.
- Modify bag height or width by adding or subtracting rows and stitches to better fit your items.
Helpful Tip
Keep your tension consistent throughout for a balanced fabric — too tight makes the bag stiff, and too loose may cause it to sag. Practicing the clover and single crochet stitches on scrap yarn before starting the bag is recommended.
