Jasmine Bag Crochet Tutorial

• The tutorial demonstrates a step-by-step process to create a Jasmine bag.
• The bag is designed to hold essential items like keys and phones.
• Required materials include medium yarn (Dami Blue color used in the tutorial), a 4mm crochet hook, scissors, and a yarn marker.

Creating Jasmine Squares

• Starting the Cluster Stitch:

  • Begin with a slip knot followed by chaining two stitches.
  • Form loops from the first stitch and use yarn tension to pull through and create the initial cluster.
  • Chain and continue creating clusters using repetitive loops and careful yarn handling.

• Building Rows:

  • To form the Jasmine square, repeat the cluster stitch pattern row-by-row.
  • Turn the work at the end of each row and use the same loop technique to crochet subsequent rows.
  • The Jasmine squares are completed when the floral Jasmine design emerges.

• Adding Borders to Jasmine Squares:

  • Border the finished squares using single crochet stitches around all four sides.
  • In corners, use additional single crochet stitches to maintain stability and shape.
  • Cut the yarn, secure the stitches with slip knots, and hide loose yarn ends.
  • A total of 13 Jasmine squares are required for the bag.

Connecting Squares

• Arranging & Joining:

  • Place squares in the desired arrangement.
  • Begin connecting the squares using single crochet stitches at the corners and edges.

  • Use single crochet stitches along the seams to firmly join the edges.
  • Turn the bag inside out after stitching to reveal the neat Jasmine texture.

Creating the Bag Handle
