Special Notes
- Polyester thread doesn’t stretch much, making this bag sturdier and great for everyday use.
- Check that your base foundation stitches are even and aligned properly to ensure symmetry in the finished bag.
- When creating DC rows (body of the bag), maintain consistent tension, as this stitch forms the structure.
Pattern Instructions
Part 1: Create the Base
1. Foundation Chain
- Start with a slip knot on your hook.
- Tip: Use your preferred method for creating the knot and ensure your loop isn’t too tight.
- Chain 22 for the base length.
- Add 1 extra chain, making the total 23 chains (this is for the turning allowance).
2. Round 1 – Single Crochet Foundation
- Start by working into the second chain from the hook (skip the first chain).
- Insert your hook, yo, pull through loop (2 loops on the hook), yo, pull through both loops (sc completed).
- Place a stitch marker in the first sc to mark the beginning of the round.
- Work 1 sc into each chain across until you reach the last chain. You should have 21 sc stitches in total.
3. Turn Corner (Create Oval Base)
- In the last chain, work 3 sc stitches to turn and create the curve for the base.
- This forms the rounded edge.
- Place a stitch marker at the middle sc of the 3 to keep track.
4. Work Along the Opposite Side
- Continue working 1 sc into each chain on the opposite side of the foundation chain until you return to the beginning.
- You should create 21 sc stitches on this side.
5. Turn Second Corner
- Work 2 sc stitches into the last unworked chain.
- Join the round with a sl st into the starting sc (marked earlier).
Part 2: Build the Oval Base (Second Round)
6. Round 2 – Increase Oval
- Ch 1, then work 2 sc into the first stitch (where the stitch marker was placed earlier). Move the marker to the first stitch of this round.
- Work 1 sc into each of the next 20 stitches.
- In the curve section (3 middle stitches from last round), work 2 sc into each of the 3 stitches.
- Continue 1 sc into each stitch on the opposite side (20 sc).
- In the last 2 stitches, work 2 sc into each stitch.
- Join the round with a sl st into the beginning sc.
7. Repeat Base Rounds
Continue repeating this pattern for a total of 2 rounds, increasing as appropriate to create a sturdy and evenly shaped oval base.
Part 3: Create the Body of the Bag
8. Round 1 – Transition to Double Crochet
- Ch 4 (counts as 1 dc + chain space). Skip the next stitch.
- Work 1 dc into the next stitch. Skip the following stitch and repeat: dc, skip 1 stitch.
- Continue this pattern around until the end of the round.
- At the end, sl st into the 3rd chain of the starting ch-4 to join.
9. Round 2 – Body Pattern
- Ch 4, skip the first dc, and work 1 dc on top of the next dc.
- Repeat the pattern: ch 1, dc on top of next dc.
- Continue across the round ensuring consistent spacing.
- Join with a sl st into the 3rd chain of the starting chain.
10. Repeat Rounds
Repeat the same dc pattern for 16 total rounds (or your preferred height).
Part 4: Create the Buttonhole
11. Buttonhole Round
- In the final round of the bag, determine the center buttonhole placement:
- Count your dc stitches across the width of the bag and locate the middle dc stitch.
- Skip this middle stitch and create a ch space (ch 2 or desired width) for your buttonhole.
- Continue working around as normal with dc stitches.
Part 5: Add the Strap
12. Strap Creation
- Without breaking the yarn, ch approximately 100 cm for the strap length.
- Adjust length based on preference.
- Work back along the chain with single crochet (sc) across the entire length of the strap.
- Join the strap to the opposite side of the bag with a sl st.
13. Finish
- Tie off your yarn securely and weave in all loose ends.
- If using polyester thread, carefully seal the edges with a lighter.
- Sew the button securely onto the bag using a tapestry needle or yarn.
Conclusion
Your crochet bag is now complete! The oval-based design and sturdy strap make it perfect for everyday use. Button closure adds charm and functionality, while the single and double crochet stitches provide a clean and classic look.
Pattern Corrections
- Verify that your base shape is symmetric and oval. Uneven increases may cause distortion.
- Buttonhole placement should align with the button for functionality and visual appeal.
Tips
- Blocking: If the bag shape isn’t perfectly even, gently block the completed project by dampening it and shaping it flat.
- Customization: Try adding embroidery, appliqué, or color changes in the body for personalized flair.
- Ease Adjustments: Expand the oval base or add more rows to the body for additional capacity.
