Single Crochet Bag

August 7, 2020 · Rhelena · 3 Comments

You only need to know how to single crochet and how to join a round to duplicate this single crochet bag pattern. It is worked in one piece from the bottom up, making it great for beginners. Even the handles are worked in one piece with the bag.

Another thing I love about this bag is that it is solid and durable! At the same time, you might still want to line it to make it last even longer. Here is the tutorial on how to line a bag.

About the Yarn

I used a worsted weight yarn in a variegated colorway and was super happy with the way the spirals turned out. I had to unravel a few times to keep the spirals somewhat consistent throughout. Depending on your tension, you may get a whole different design. That’s the beauty of working with variegated yarns, you get a different design each time!

The yarn is Bernat Handicrafter Cotton, a #4 worsted-weight cotton yarn. It’s nice and sturdy, especially when worked with the single crochet stitch.

Lily Sugar ‘n’ Cream is another great yarn that you could use for this bag.

About the Size

The size is given in one size, but it can easily be adjusted as there is no stitch count.

To adjust the size, simply do more or less rounds of the increase rounds to get the rectangle to the size that you want the bottom of the bag to be. Then continue in an even pattern until you get to the height that you want.

Then for the handles, you can refer to this tutorial on how to make bag handles for any sized bag. It’s a quick and easy formula that allows you to customize the handles as you like.

    Handles

    • Lay the bag flat to place your markers for the handles. Count over 14 sts on the sides of the bag and place stitch marker in 15th stitch. This leaves 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.

[56 sts and 120 chs]
    • Note: Work into the back bumps of the chs to keep things looking the same on both sides of the handle.

    • Rnds 53-56: Ch 1, sc in same st as join and into each st around; join with sl st in first sc. Fasten Off at last rnd. [176 sts]
