Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions
Step 1: Start the Base of the Bag
- Make a slip knot, then chain 18 stitches.
- Round 1:
- Skip the first loop and make 16 single crochets along the chain.
- In the last loop, make 3 single crochets to round the edge.
- Continue along the other side of the chain with 16 single crochets.
- End with 3 single crochets in the last loop again.
- Round 2:
- Crochet 16 single crochets across.
- Make 3 increases (2 single crochets in 1 loop).
- Repeat 16 single crochets on the opposite side and make 3 increases again.
2: Build up the Bag Body
- Round 3:
- Make a slip stitch, chain 1, and single crochet in the same loop.
- Chain 2 (imitating a double crochet).
- Make double crochets (back loop only) until the end of this round.
- Finish with a slip stitch in the second loop of the imitation double crochet.
- Round 4:
- Start with chain 1 and single crochet in the same loop.
- Chain 3, skip next loop, and make a double crochet.
- Alternate: Chain 1, skip one loop, and make a double crochet repeating until the end of the round.
- End the round with chain 1 and a slip stitch to the second loop of the imitation double crochet.
- Round 5 and onward:
- Repeat alternating rounds (Round 3 and Round 4) until you complete 19 rounds in this order:
- Odd rounds: Make double crochet and chain 2 for imitation stitches.
- Even rounds: Use chain 3 for double crochet imitation stitches.
- Repeat alternating rounds (Round 3 and Round 4) until you complete 19 rounds in this order:
3: Add Closure to the Bag
- Round 20:

- For example: 33 chains for the closing loop.
- Continue with slip stitches until the end of the round.
- Finish off the edge by cutting the yarn and securing the end with a loop imitation as shown in the tutorial.
4: Create a Strap
- Leave a long tail for sewing. Chain 4 sts to begin.
- Skip 2 loops and make 2 double crochets.
- Chain 2, turn work to the right, keeping the yarn on top (note: this differs from traditional turning techniques).
- Continue with 2 double crochets per row until the strap reaches your desired length. The example uses 100 cm for crossbody wear.
- Final step: Sew the strap securely to the bag using the needle and leftover cord.
