Difficulty Level

Intermediate — Familiar with fan and treble crochet stitches, shaping by stitch decreases, and finishing techniques like invisible seams and attaching hardware.

Step-by-Step Pattern

1. Foundation Chain and First Row

Make a loose chain of 15 stitches (adjust for size).
Turn and sc in the back loop of each chain to create a neat base row (15 sc).
Repeat another row of sc across (total about 25 rows for the base), adjusting length to 17 cm height for the bag.

2. Begin Fan Stitch Pattern on Body

Chain 2 to start row (counts as dc height).
Work fan stitches by creating blocks of 3 treble crochets (tr), separated by chain 1 stitches in a pattern:
- 3 tr in next stitch, chain 1, 3 tr in following stitch, chain 1, and continue.
Insert extra double crochet stitches at edges for shaping and neatness.
Continue fan rows for at least 15 rows or desired body length.
Shape sides with decreases by skipping stitches carefully to curve the bag’s shape.
Use stitch markers to mark key points for shaping and symmetry.

3. Final Edge and Base

Work a final round of slip stitches around edges for a sturdy and polished finish.
Remove stitch markers.
Weave in ends invisibly with a tapestry needle.

4. Making and Attaching the Strap

For the strap, chain the desired length (60–70 cm recommended).
Work a row of single crochet back along the chain, keeping the tension loose enough for comfort.
Optionally use two yarn colors alternated in the strap for a stylish touch.
Attach small wooden or metal rings at two sides of the bag in pre-marked spots.
Weave strap ends through rings, secure and sew them on firmly.

5. Adding Clasp Closure

Attach a clasp closure at the top center opening securely.
Use pliers or tools to clamp the hardware tightly to prevent loosening.
Reinforce with neat stitches around clasp area.

6. Optional Lining

Add a fabric lining inside the bag for structure and to protect items if desired.
Sew lining loosely or tightly according to preference.

Tutor’s Suggestions

Work foundation chain loosely to avoid tight base rows.
Use stitch markers generously to keep symmetry and neat shaping.
Choose shiny or soft yarn per occasion—Fitcom yarn gives extra glam.
Ensure hardware is firmly attached for durability.
Adjust strap length to personal preference for comfort and style.

Uses

Great gift idea due to elegance and versatile use.
Lightweight and portable for daily or evening wear.

Tip

When working your fan stitches, keep tension consistent. Overly tight or loose stitches will affect bag shape and fan definition. Practice stitches on a swatch for best results.
