Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Base (Oval or Rectangle)
For Oval Base (classic tote style):
plaintextCopyEditCH 21.
Row 1: SC in 2nd CH from hook and across (20 SC). Make 3 SC in last CH.
Now work on the opposite side of the chain: SC across, and 3 SC in the last CH. (46 total)
Join with SL ST.
Continue:
- Round 2-5: SC all around, placing 3 SC in each corner to maintain the shape. Your base will gradually expand.
- You can add more rounds depending on how wide you want the bottom.
Step 2: Build the Body
- Round 6: HDC in each stitch around.
- Continue HDC rounds until the bag reaches your desired height (e.g., 20–25 rounds for a medium tote).
- Optional: Add color changes every few rows for a striped effect!
Step 3: Add Handles
Option 1: Crochet Handles
plaintextCopyEditMeasure 4 inches in from each side.
Chain 30 (or more depending on how long you want it), skip 8–10 stitches on the bag, and continue SC around.
Repeat for the second handle.
- Do 2–3 rows around the handles for reinforcement.
Option 2: Attach Wooden Handles
- Use yarn or a tapestry needle to stitch the handles onto the top edge.
- Reinforce with extra rounds or stitches for durability.
Optional Add-ons
- Tassel or Pom Pom: Use leftover yarn and attach near the handles.
- Inner Lining: Use fabric and a sewing needle to line the inside for extra strength.
- Buttons or Zippers: If you want closure, add a button loop or install a zipper.
Final Touches
- Weave in all loose ends with a yarn needle.
- Steam or block your bag to shape it neatly.
- Add a personal tag or embroidery if desired.
Pro Tips
- Use stiff cotton yarn for a structured look.
- Reinforce the bottom with a cardboard cutout wrapped in fabric (removable).
- Use contrasting colors for a modern vibe—neutral + pop color (e.g., beige + neon pink).
