Crochet Beach Bag Pattern Hdc V-st and Tr

Are you ready yet for the beach this summer? Perhaps you’re ready with all your beach gear, but now you need a nice beach bag to carry everything. If that’s your case, then this roomy bag might just be what you’re looking for.

Not only are the open stitches ideal for the beach, but they also help you to crochet faster, so you can head to the beach sooner.

Another option is to line the bag with a sturdy liner and use it as an everyday bag.

You might also enjoy this crochet beach bag pattern, which features a different shell pattern than what you see here.

Handles 

Lay the bag flat to place your markers for the handles. Count over 20 sts from the sides of the bag and place stitch marker in 21st stitch. Counting the stitch markers, you should have 20 sts marked off in the middle. Do the same on the other side. Stitch markers should align on each side of the bag. Do not crochet into the 20 stitches in the middle. Here is a tutorial.

Note: To keep things even, I like to crochet into the back bumps of the chains made for the handles.

Rnd 31: Ch 1, sc in same st as join and into each st up to marked st, *loosely ch 60 (or any number depending on how long or short you want the handles), sk the 20 sts marked off in the middle*, sc in next 40 sts; rep from * to * once; then sc in remaining sts; join with sl st in first sc.
