Notes

The camera bag crochet pattern is made using acrylic yarn, but you can use any yarn and any weight. Chunky will make it a large tote, while DK will make it a small crochet camera pouch - perfect for a phone and another small item.

Although I sew the camera lens all the way around so it is shut, you can sew the bottom half and leave the top of it open as a small little pouch.

The finished size of the camera bag is roughly 12 inches wide and 10 inches tall.

Instructions:

This pattern is made in the round.

Round 1: Ch x45. In the second chain from the hook make an inc. Then sc x42 for the chain length. In the last ch in the row make an increase x2 (4 sc stitches) and turn to the other side of the chain that has not been worked in. Then sc x42 and make an inc in the last stitch. (88)

Round 2: Make a sc in every stitch (88)

Round 3-32: Repeat round 2. At the end of the last row switch the black yarn to gray. (88)

Circle Lens:

This pattern is made in the round.

Rows 2-115: In the second ch from the hook make a sc. Then sc for the rest of the row. Then ch x1 and turn. Then repeat for the following rows.

Adjust the length of the strap as needed by adding more or less rows.

Finishing:

Sew the lens to the middle of the bag. Then sew the white rectangle to the upper right part of the bag in the gray part. Finally attach the crochet camera strap to the bag's corners. Optionally you can add a highlight mark to the lens.

I hope you enjoy your new crochet camera purse!
