How to Crochet Floral Bag Tutorial for Beginners
Learn how to crochet a bag with the floral and circular pieces, assembling them to form the bag’s body, and crocheting a separate piece for the base. The final steps include attaching the base, adding a fabric lining and zipper, and attaching a crocheted handle. So, follow through with us for the complete tutorial.
Creating the flowers and circles
The tutorial begins with instructions on how to crochet the floral and circular pieces that will form the bag. The floral pieces are made by creating a magic circle, followed by a series of double crochets and chains to form six petals. The circular pieces are created by making a magic circle with half-double crochets.
Assembling the pieces
The crocheted pieces are sewn together to form the body of the bag. The video demonstrates how to use a needle and thread, with the right sides of the pieces facing inward, to stitch them together. The finished bag body consists of a series of floral and circular pieces arranged in three rows.
Creating the base
A separate crochet piece is made for the bag’s base, which is then attached to the bottom of the main body. The tutorial suggests counting the stitches to ensure the base fits perfectly with the bag’s body.
Final touches
The final steps involve sewing the base to the bottom of the bag, adding a fabric lining and a zipper inside, and attaching a crocheted handle to complete the bag.
What is the best yarn for a crochet mesh bag?
The best yarn for crochet bags is sturdy, durable, and able to maintain its shape. Cotton yarn is often a top choice because it’s strong, doesn’t stretch excessively, and provides excellent stitch definition, making it ideal for structured bags. Blends like cotton-acrylic or polyester are also great options as they add durability and resistance to wear and tear.
For eco-friendly bags or totes, jute or hemp yarn works well due to its natural texture and strength.
