Pattern Steps
Step 1: Create Initial Crochet Square
- Using the 3.5 mm crochet hook and your yarn, make a foundation loop and chain 8.
- Join to form a loop by slip stitching into the first chain.
- Work 8 single crochet (sc) stitches evenly around the loop.
- Close the round by slip stitching into the first sc.
- Pull the yarn tail to close the center loop tightly.
Step 2: Tire Stitch Texture (Base Row)
- Insert the hook into the base stitches and work slip stitches around as needed to prepare for the next round.
- Chain 2 to start the next round.
- Work three unfinished treble crochet (TR) stitches in the same space: yo, insert hook, pull up a loop but do not finish the stitch.
- After the 3 unfinished TRs are on hook, yarn over and pull through all loops to complete the cluster.
- Chain 2.
- Repeat the 3 unfinished TR stitches in the next space.
- Continue this pattern (3 TR clusters separated by chains) around to create a textured square pattern until you have 8 groups.
Step 3: Close the Square
- After completing the last cluster, chain 2 and join with a slip stitch to the second chain in your starting chain-2.
- Secure the end and weave in yarn tails.
Step 4: Repeat Squares (Make 4 Squares)
- Make 4 identical squares following Steps 1-3.
Step 5: Join Squares
- Place two squares wrong side to wrong side (inside out).
- Seam them together using slip stitches (sl st) or whip stitch along the edges, joining loops of both squares carefully by matching corner points.
- Join the remaining squares to form the bag’s body shape — a folded square pouch.
Step 6: Seam Formation
- Use low stitches around joined edges to create a sturdy seam, sewing with care to avoid loose stitches.
Step 7: Attach Zipper
- Position the zipper along the top opening of the bag.
- Using a sewing needle and thread matching the yarn color, sew zipper in place carefully. Keep zipper open during sewing for usability.
- Secure stitches and weave ends.
Step 8: Crochet and Attach Strap
- Attach one of the articulated rings to a side of the bag.
- Crochet a strap by chaining to desired length (ideally 77 cm for crossbody style; adjust length as needed).
- Work single crochet (sc) stitches evenly along chain for strength; finish the strap by enclosing loops around the ring with low stitches.
- Attach the other ring and repeat strap finishing.
- Knot securely, weave in tails, and add a drop of denim glue if desired for stability.
Step 9: Final Finishing
- Inspect seams, weave in any remaining yarn ends inside the bag for a clean look.
- Optionally add denim glue on knots for extra security.
Tutor’s Suggestions
- Use a visible, durable zipper to avoid issues with invisible zippers breaking.
- Adjust strap length before finishing to ensure comfortable fit.
- Take care with edges when joining squares for a neat look—matching loops exactly makes sewing easier.
- Use color tones that blend well for a professional finish.
- Denim glue is optional but helps keep knots secure over time.
Uses
- Stylish hands-free accessory for shopping, walking, or travel.
- Great gift option for family and friends.
- Practical for outdoor events, festivals, and daily errands.
- Supports carrying essentials safely and comfortably.
Tip
Measure your waist or preferred bag placement before making the strap. It’s easier to add length than shorten it, so start a bit longer and adjust as you try it on!
