Crochet Mini Bag / AirPods Holder Pattern
Materials Needed:
- Mini chenille (or worsted weight) yarn
- Crochet hook size 3.5 mm (recommended 4-5 mm but 3.5 mm used for tightness)
- 2 Stitch markers
- Yarn needle
- Scissors
- Magnet lock for bag closure
- Optional: smaller yarn and hook for making a decorative bow
Pattern Steps:
1: Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 10 (an even number) + 1 turning chain (chain 11 total).
- Note: The turning chain does not count as a stitch.
2: First Row – Single Crochet Base
- Single crochet (sc) in the 2nd chain from hook and in every chain across, except the last chain.
- In the last chain, make 3 single crochets in the same stitch to create a rounded corner.
- On the other side of the foundation chain, single crochet in each chain stitch.
- For the last stitch, make 2 single crochets in the same stitch to prepare for joining.
- Join with a slip stitch to the first sc.
- Place a stitch marker at the joining point to track your rounds.
3: Second Row – Back Loop Single Crochet
- Chain 1 (does not count as a stitch).
- Single crochet in the back loop only (BLO) across the row.
- Add a stitch marker at the end to mark your rows.
- Join with slip stitch to the first stitch.
- This creates a textured ribbing effect.
4: Third Row Onwards – Single Crochet Both Loops
- Chain 1, turn.
- Single crochet in both loops across the row.
- Join with slip stitch.
- Repeat Row 3 until your piece reaches your desired height for the mini bag.
5: Measure Your Work
- The sample measures approx 3” width x 2” height after 6 rows (excluding foundation). Adjust rows for your desired size.
6: Cover / Flap Construction
- Chain 1, single crochet across only half the width of your base (do not crochet all the way around).
- Chain 1, turn, and single crochet across.
- Repeat this row until the piece covers the top height required for the flap.
- Keep 2 stitches at the edge for a neat decrease.
7: Decrease Rows
- Remove stitch markers.
- Make 2 single crochet decreases at each end to taper the edges for a neat finish.
- To decrease: Insert hook, yarn over and pull through without completing single crochet, insert hook into next stitch, yarn over and pull through, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook.
- Repeat decreases as desired for shaping.
8: Finishing Off
- Cut yarn and pull through to secure.
- Weave in ends neatly with yarn needle.
9: Attaching the Cover
- Turn work right side out.
- Attach yarn at the start of the cover flap with slip stitches all around the edges for a nice border.
10: Adding Magnet Lock
- Place magnet lock on the flap and bag body.
- Use pliers to secure locking pins from the back.
- Cover back pins with yarn stitches so they don’t snag.
11: Optional Bow Decoration
- Using sport weight yarn and smaller hook, chain ~40.
- Make slip stitches across the chain to create a narrow strip.
- Tie into a bow and attach to your mini bag for decoration.
Tutor’s Suggestions:
- Use stitch markers generously—chenille yarn can be tricky to see stitches.
- Experiment with yarn weights and hook sizes to customize bag size and texture.
- The magnet lock keeps your mini bag secure and user-friendly.
- Add other charms or crocheted appliques to personalize.
Uses:
- AirPods or small earbud holder
- Keychain charm
- Mini purse for coins or lip balm
- Cute gift or craft fair item
Tip:
When working with chenille yarn, keep your tension loose enough to avoid splitting but tight enough to keep shape. Utilize stitch markers for accuracy in every round!
