- Ribbon or other materials if you opt for a non-crocheted handle.
Stitches Used:
- CH: Chain
- SS: Slip Stitch
- SC: Single Crochet
- HDC: Half Double Crochet
- BO: Bobble Stitch
Special Stitch Tutorial:
Bobble Stitch (BO): [Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through first 2 loops] Repeat 4 times in the same stitch (5 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through all 5 loops on hook; do not chain to close. Place 1 SC into the next stitch.
Pattern:
Bag Base and Body:
- Starting with Color A, CH 18.
- Rows 1-3: SC in the second CH from the hook and in each stitch across, CH 1 and turn. (17 SC)
- Row 4: 1 SC in the first stitch, 1 bobble in the next, repeat “1 bobble, 1 single crochet” across, ending with an SC. CH 1 and turn. (8 BO, 9 SC = 17 stitches)
- Repeat Rows 1-4 seven more times, stopping at row 32. (You’ll have 8 bobble rows and 24 SC rows)
- Rows 33-34: SC in each stitch across, CH 1, and turn. (17 SC)
- Row 35: SC in each stitch across. Do not chain 1 or turn. Your rectangle should measure approximately 9½ inches by 5½ inches. If using two colors, fasten off Color A here.
Edging (if switching to Color B):
- Fold your piece in half with bobbles facing outwards. With Color B, start from the top left corner and SC evenly around the bag, making sure to catch both front and back panels, leaving the top open. Make 2 SC in each of the bottom corners. Fasten off after reaching the top right side of the bag.
Creating The Handle:
- Option for a crocheted handle: With Color A and a 4mm hook, CH 4.
- Row 1: HDC in the 2nd CH from hook and the next 2 stitches, CH 1, and turn. (3 HDC)
- Rows 2-34: Repeat Row 1. After completing Row 34, the handle should measure about 12½ inches by 1 inch. Fasten off.
- Sew the handles to the inside top seams of the bag.
- Alternate handle option: Use ribbon or another material, cut it to the desired length, and sew it on as the bag’s handle.
