Pattern Basic Points

Highlights

• Worked in Rows and Rounds: The body of the bag is crocheted as a small oval, and the flap is constructed separately in rows.
• Amigurumi Technique: The mini bag uses all single crochet stitches and basic increases.
• Minimal Material and Time: Perfect for leftover yarn and only 30-40 minutes to finish.
• Customizable: Easily add beads, pearls, stuffing, or different closures.

Special Notes

• Work the body in continuous rounds for an even, neat finish.
• Carefully count stitches, especially while increasing around the oval base.
• Use a stitch marker to track the start of each round after finishing the oval base.
• The pearls/strap can be replaced by a simple chain stitch loop if desired.
• The unevenness in height after the nine rounds is intentional; it adds charm and is hidden by the flap.
• For best durability, use strong thread for the bead strap.

Skill Level

Beginner to Advanced Beginner
Familiarity with single crochet, making a chain, increases, slip stitch, and sewing pieces together is helpful.

Materials

• Yarn: Small amount of cotton or acrylic yarn (preferably light worsted/3 or sport/2 weight, but flexible)
• Crochet Hook: Size compatible with your yarn (e.g., 2.5mm–3.5mm)
• Pearl beads: Mini (10 pieces) for the strap
• Strong Thread: For stringing beads (macrame thread or equivalent)
• Needle: For threading beads and sewing
• Scissors
• Stitch Marker
• Filling (optional): A tiny bit of stuffing if you want more body
• Adhesive (optional): For securing the flap
• Small Washers (optional): For closure detail

Measurements / Sizing

• Finished Size:
  • Height: Approximately 3–4 cm (1.2–1.5 in)
  • Width: About 2–2.5 cm (0.8–1 in)
  • Strap: 10 beads in a loop; about 3–4 cm in diameter

Gauge (and Stitch Pattern if applicable)

• Gauge: Not critical due to the novelty size; stitches should be firm for structure.
• Stitch Pattern: All pieces use single crochet (US terms).

Stitch Abbreviations

Special Stitches

• Increase (inc): 2 single crochet in the same stitch.
• Working Around the Foundation Chain: Crochet both down one side, work increases at the end, and continue on the opposite side of the chain for an oval base.
• Sewing Flap and Strap: Use needle to sew only the outside loop of the flap to the bag’s back row for a neat join.

   • In the last ch: inc (3 sc in same st).
3. Working back along the other side of the chain:
   • Turn work to crochet in the unused loops of the chain.

     • Sc evenly across the top edge, for a total of 9 sc. (Work in each stitch and edge; 1 sc in each curve point and on the small edge.)
8. Fasten Off
   • Leave a long tail for sewing.
   • Flap is complete.

Assembly & Finished Size

Attach Flap to Bag

• Position finished flap on the higher/back edge of the bag (hides height unevenness).
• With needle and tail, sew only the outside loops of the flap to the row of stitches on the bag’s back.
• Join stitch by stitch, matching edges.
• When finished, weave in the tail, tie a knot, and hide the end inside the bag.

Add Strap with Pearls

• String 10 mini pearls onto strong thread (macrame or similar) using needle.
• Cut a strand a little longer than needed.
• Insert thread from the inside of one side of the bag to the other, through the top edge.
• Pull taut, so pearls make a loop.
• Secure by tying a knot on the inside of bag and trim tails.

Finishing Touches

• You may add a small washer on each end of the pearl handle (optional).
• Optionally, add a little stuffing inside the bag for body.
• Secure the flap, if desired, with a dab of adhesive or glue it down.
• Finished bag fits easily in the palm of your hand—perfect as a keychain, party favor, or small gift.
