Save

4. Now you have crocheted all around the chain. Join to the first sc with a sl st.
5. Total sts: 40.

2. Bag Sides/Body

Begin Working in the Round:

1. Do not join rounds with a sl st; work in a spiral.
2. Continue working sc in each st around, inserting the hook through the center of each stitch for added structure (recommended for ribbon yarn).
   • Optionally use a stitch marker to mark the first st of each round.
3. Continue working sc rounds until the bag is the desired height.
   • In the example, 20 rounds were completed.

3. Preparing for Handle Placement

Evenly Space Strap Holes:

1. Begin and end your final round at the same spot as your base for symmetry.
2. Mark 6 stitches on each side for placement of the strap holes. There should be 7 stitches between markers (centered on the front and back).

4. Bag Handle/Strap Openings

Save

Creating Strap Openings:

1. At each marked spot, work:
   • Sc in each marked st
   • At strap opening, ch 9 (increase chain count for wider opening if desired)
   • Join chain to next marker with sc
2. Continue for the other side, to create two strap holes.

Work Next Round:

1. Sc in each st and sc in each ch across the handle openings.
   Save

5. Finishing the Bag

Optional edging:

• For the final round, you may work sc into the front loop only of each st for a decorative edge.

Finishing:

1. Join with a sl st, ch 1.
2. Fasten off and use needle to weave in ends securely.

6. Strap

If Using Clips:

• Attach ribbon yarn to clip with slip knot.
• Crochet directly onto the clip:
  • Pull up a loop, sc or sl st onto clip, ch 1, work into the base.
  • Continue working as a long spiral, pulling up loops and working into previous sts until desired length (example: 70 cm long).
• Attach second clip similarly to end.
• Weave in ends.
  Save

Without Clips:

• Crochet a chain of desired length (approx. 70 cm).
• Work a row of sc back across for a sturdy strap.
• Sew ends securely inside bag handle holes.
  Save

Pattern Correction

• Adjust base chain for the bag’s width.
• Increase chain count for strap holes or strap itself for desired comfort and appearance.
• Using spiral rounds, mark the beginning of each round to avoid uneven sides.

Tips

• Block the finished bag lightly for neat shape.
• Select ribbon yarns with sturdy construction to maintain bag structure.
• Clips give a professional finish and allow customizable straps – or crochet direct for a fixed handle.
• Mark positions for strap holes and opening accurately for symmetry.
• For a longer or shorter strap, simply adjust the chain length.

Whether attached with clips or crocheted directly, the bag’s form and function make it an excellent accessory for warm weather.
