Crochet Beautiful Bag

Crocheting a beautiful bag can be such a fun and rewarding project! The process of carefully selecting the yarn, skillfully creating intricate stitches, and watching the piece come together is incredibly satisfying. Not to mention, the end result of a handmade bag that showcases your creativity and personal touch is simply delightful.

Whether you're gifting it to a loved one or keeping it for yourself, the unique charm of a crocheted bag is sure to bring joy and style to any outfit. So, grab your crochet hook, pick out some colorful yarn, and let your creativity shine as you crochet your way to a one-of-a-kind accessory!

What you need:

-Size I (5.5mm) Crochet Hook

-12” long polyester zipper

-2 balls Sugar n’ Cream yarn (I used ecru)

-Pins

-Chenille Needle


How to make it:

-Chain 39

-Row 1: half double crochet (hdc) into 3rd stitch from hook, hdc in each stitch, turn. (38)

-Row 2: chain 2, hdc in each stitch, turn. (38)

-Repeat Row 2 until the bag is the desired length (mine was 18” total length) – remember it will be folded in half!

-Fasten off yarn by pulling the tail through the loop on the hook. Remove hook and pull tail to tighten.

-Lay the work flat, fold down the top 3 rows and pin to the zipper (right side up).

-Fold the bottom up to meet the zipper and pin.

-Cut a long tail for sewing the zipper in place. Using whip stitch, sew the zipper to the crocheted work with a chenille needle. Be careful to avoid sewing through the back of the back of the bag as well (I may have done that at least twice…)

-For the last whip stitch, sew through the 1st crochet stitch along the bottom corner of the zipper. Pull yarn through to the wrong side of the zipper, knot, and cut.

-With the zipper side up, pin the sides of the bag closed and single crochet along the edge of each side, crocheting between the 1st and 2nd hdc of the row.

 To prevent bunching, I recommend single crocheting into 3 rows, then skipping a row (repeat this to the end of the bag).

-Reinforce the ends of the zipper by sewing them to the single crochet edging using yarn and chenille needle.
