Here's how to do it
Join me and crochet my trendy bag! Both stylish and cool. First, we’ll crochet the bag's "body," then the handle. Finally, we’ll use the second color to add a stylish detail and bows. I hope you like my design! / Kristine
Let’s start by crocheting the "body" of the bag. Use EKO Nano and one of the EKO Ribbon colors.
Begin by crocheting a chain of 23 chain stitches. Then, turn and crochet back along the chain. If you're unsure how to crochet a chain, check out the video below.
Row 1: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet 22 single crochet stitches until you reach the end of your chain. You will have a total of 22 stitches on the row.
If you're unsure how to crochet a single crochet stitch, check out the video below.
Rows 2-11: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet 22 single crochet stitches in the back loop only. Chain 1 and turn. You will have a total of 22 stitches per row (10 rows).
If you're unsure how to crochet in the back loop only, check out the video below.
Rows 12-14: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet 22 single crochet stitches in the front loop only. Chain 1 and turn. You will have a total of 22 stitches per row (3 rows). If you're unsure how to crochet in the front loop only, check out the video below.
Rows 15-25: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet 22 single crochet stitches in the back loop only. Chain 1 and turn. You will have a total of 22 stitches per row (11 rows).
Handle
Ch 5, turn.
Row 1: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet 4 single crochet stitches. Chain 1 and turn.
Row 2: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet 2 single crochet stitches in the same stitch. Crochet 2 single crochet stitches. Crochet 2 single crochet stitches in the last stitch. Chain 1 and turn. You will now have a total of 6 stitches on the row.
Rows 3-54: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet 6 single crochet stitches. Chain 1 and turn. Repeat for 52 rows.
Row 55: Start in the second stitch from the hook and crochet a decrease. Crochet 2 single crochet stitches. Crochet a decrease in the last 2 stitches. You will have a total of 4 stitches on the row. Cut the yarn and fasten off.
If you're unsure how to crochet a decrease or fasten off, check out the videos below.
Assembly
Use your second color (or the same one if you prefer). Attach the handle by sewing it around the body of the bag. Lay the body flat, then place the handle starting from the center/bottom of the bag and attach it to both sides of the body.
Secure the handle by going up and down between the body and the handle. You can either use a needle or your crochet hook to pull the yarn through the stitches. Make sure the stitching looks neat when you attach the handle to the body.
Once you've attached one side of the handle to the body, continue stitching up and down along the side of the handle until you reach the other side of the body. Secure the handle to the body again.
If you like, you can tie bows at the bottom of the bag. Repeat on the other side. Cut the yarn and fasten off.
You are done :)
