T-shirt Yarn Vette Bag Crochet Pattern

Materials

• Yarn: T-shirt yarn (approx. 1–2 skeins, depending on size)
• Hook: 5.25 mm crochet hook (for tighter fabric; recommended is 9 mm, but smaller size gives a denser finish)
• Notions: Scissors, stitch markers (or bobby pins), yarn needle

Key Abbreviations (US Terminology)

• ch = chain
• sc = single crochet
• hdc = half double crochet
• dc = double crochet
• tr = treble crochet
• sl st = slip stitch
• st(s) = stitch(es)
• rep = repeat

Special Notes

• A smaller hook produces tighter and sturdier stitches, especially with t-shirt yarn.
• Stitch markers are recommended to help with accurate positioning but are optional.
• Work stitches as consistently as possible; t-shirt yarn can vary in thickness.
• The bag is worked in panels and assembled with the strap in a “no-sew” style via crochet join, but a yarn needle can be used if you prefer.

Conclusion

You have now completed your t-shirt yarn Vette Bag! This bag is sturdy, practical, and perfect for everyday use, thanks to the dense fabric created by using a smaller hook with t-shirt yarn. The side and bottom shaping creates a seamless, modern look.

Pattern Correction

• Ensure both panels are identical in shape and size before assembly.
• Count stitches on strap and panels to ensure a symmetrical fit and professional finish.
• Adjust starting chain for strap for desired strap length or bag drop.

Tips

• Use strong, even tension when crocheting t-shirt yarn as it can be thick and stretchy.
• Use stitch markers (or bobby pins) liberally for accurate seaming.
• Wash t-shirt yarn pieces before assembling if desired, for extra softness and shape.
• For alternative assembly, you may sew the panels and strap together using whip stitch and a yarn needle.
