Crochet bag “Linn”
This bag is perfect for everything; the beach, shopping or work!
The size is up to you and choose the colors you want. The yarn used in the video is EKO Nano and the crochet hook is 6 mm (you can also use EKO mini and crochet hook 6-7 mm). The pattern is beginner friendly and fits well if you've never crocheted before, we go through all the steps in the video. We got inspiration for the bag from Linn @avokadoprojektet and Monica Appelgren, who made the nice green and white version.
The colors of the bag in the video are Chalk Green and Nature White.
Yarn Consumption: Total approx. 550 g, depends on how big you crochet your bag. Approx 375 g of the base color and 175 g of the second color.

Here's how to do it
The bag is easy to crochet and we will start with the bottom. You decide the size of the bag by crocheting more or fewer stitches on the chain at the beginning. Then you can crochet it as high as you wish. We will show and explain how to change color, if you want your bag multi-colored. The dimensions of the bag crocheted in the video are about 39 x 32 cm. /Lizette
Step 1 - the chain
Start by choosing the color you want at the bottom of the bag. The video shows you how to change the color, if you want to do it on your bag.
Start by crocheting a chain. Start by making a slip knot around the crochet hook. One way you can do this is to wrap the yarn around your index and middle finger and then pull the yarn up so that the loop locks when you tighten. Then crochet chain stithces, pick up yarn and pull through. The number of stitches depends on how long you want the bottom of the bag. For reference, 35 stitches are crocheted in the video.
Round 2
Now we will crochet round 2 on the bag. We start by skipping the first stitch and going down into the second stitch. Go down, pick up yarn and pull through. You have two loops on the crochet hook, pick up the yarn again and pull through. You have crocheted a single crochet. Crochet in the same way until you are at the end of the chain.
When you are at the end of the chain, crochet two more single crochets in the same stitch as the last stitch you crocheted. Now you continue crocheting on the other side of the chain, one stitch in each stitch until you are at the last stitch. In the last stitch, you crochet two extra ones in the same stitch.
Now we are going to crochet a stitch in each stitch and you continue so until you have the height of the bag that you want orwant to change color.
Color change
When you have crocheted with color 1 as many rounds as you want and want to change the color, you change color when your are on the side of the bag. You go down into the stitch on the side and pick up yarn and pull through so you have two loops on the crochet hook. Take the new color and make the last pull through with the next color. It will be a nice color change.
Continue crocheting either until you reach the height of the bag as you wish or until you want to change color again.
The Handles
It's time for the round with the handles. Cut four short pieces of yarn and mark on the bag where you want your handles to start and end. Continue to crochet single crochets until you reach your first mark, there you crochet your last stitch before starting to crochet chain stitches, for reference, we crochet 40 loops in the video.
When you are satisfied with the number of loops, you go down into the stitch where your second marker is and continue crocheting until you get to the next marker, where you crochet the second handle. Crochet as many loops as the first handle. Go down the last marker and continue crocheting until you are back at the start.
Now you crochet a single crochet in each stitch, also over the loops. Crochet as many rounds as you wish to reach the desired thickness of the handles.

Row 1: Ch 35 (35). You can chain more or fewer depending on whether you want your bag to be larger or smaller.
Round 2: Start in the 2nd ch from the hook; work 33 sc, then make 3 sc in the same st. Now crochet along the other side of the foundation chain: work 32 sc, then 3 sc in the same st. (71)
Round 3 and onward: Work 1 sc in each st. Continue crocheting until you're happy with the height, or until you want to change color. If you change color, do it on the side of the bag.
Handles
Now it’s time to crochet the round where you make the handles.
Cut four short pieces of yarn and use them to mark where you want your handles to start and end.
Crochet sc until you reach your 1st marker. There, work your last st before beginning a ch. As a reference, 40 ch are made in the video.
When you're happy with the number of ch, insert your hook into the st where the 2nd marker is and continue with sc until you reach the 3rd marker.
There, make the 2nd handle by chaining the same number as the 1st handle. Insert your hook at the 4th marker and continue crocheting until you’re back at the starting point.
To Finish: Crochet 1 sc in each st. Work as many rounds as you like to achieve the desired thickness for the handles.
Now your bag is finished!
