Materials
Yarn: Premium T-shirt yarn (trapillo), approximately 3 cm wide.
Hook: 5.5 mm crochet hook.
Hardware: Two D-rings or circular rings for the strap, a magnetic clasp, and metal purse feet (optional stabilizers for the base).
Strap: A 1-meter long leather handle/strap.
Tools: Stitch markers, scissors, silicone glue (or needle and thread), and nylon thread for sewing the clasp.
Special Features
3D Texture: The "Point Alto in 3D" is achieved by working relief stitches over a base of half double crochets, giving the bag a thick, professional structure.
Invisible Seams: The tutor uses "simulated" stitches at the start of each round, ensuring there is no visible vertical line where the rounds join.
Reinforced Base: The oval base is worked in centered single crochet (waistcoat stitch) for extra sturdiness, so the bag maintains its shape when filled.
Versatility: The bag is spacious and can be customized with different colors or leather bases.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. While the individual stitches are not overly complex, the 3D relief pattern and the invisible closing techniques require careful attention to stitch placement and tension.
Tutor’s Suggestions
Base Flexibility: If you prefer a different look, the crochet base can be substituted with a pre-made leather base.
Stitch Alignment: If your relief stitches seem shifted, check that your base has an even number of stitches. This is crucial for the pattern to meet perfectly at the end of the round.
Tension: Keep your "simulated" stitches (at the start of rounds) the same height as your regular stitches to keep the top edge perfectly level.
Uses
Everyday Handbag: Its structured nature and spacious interior make it a reliable daily bag.
Fashion Accessory: The 3D texture follows current crochet trends, making it a stylish piece for gifts or sale.
Conclusion
The finished handbag measures roughly 24 cm wide by 21 cm high. It is a robust, well-structured piece that highlights the beauty of geometric crochet. By mastering the 3D relief stitch and invisible joins, you create a piece that looks store-bought but retains the unique charm of a handmade item.
Tip: When sewing the magnetic clasp, use a single strand of nylon thread and make three passes through each hole. This keeps the attachment strong without adding bulk, ensuring the closure remains secure even when the bag is full.
