Special Techniques

  2. Double Crochet (DC): Yarn over, insert the hook, YO again, pull through loop, YO, pull through two loops twice.
  3. Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC): Yarn over, insert the hook around the post of the stitch (not the top loops), YO again, pull through loops as with DC.
  4. Slip Stitch (SS): Used to join rounds seamlessly or shift positions neatly.
  5. Twisted Handle: A finishing design that adds a unique appearance to the bag handles.

Pattern Instructions

Step 1: Foundation

  1. Create a slip knot.
  2. Chain 36 to establish the base length:
    • Adjust length by adding or subtracting chains, ensuring the count remains a multiple of two.
      Save
  3. Add 2 chains to the base (total: 38 chains).
  4. Starting in the third chain from the hook, work the following:
    • DC in the same hole: Complete 2 DC stitches per hole.
    • Continue DC in each chain hole to complete the row.
  5. At the end of the chain, work 5 DC in the last chain hole:
    • This rounds off the end neatly for forming curves.
      Save

Step 2: Expanding Base

  1. Repeat DC stitches across the opposite side of the foundation chain.
  2. When returning to the initial chain hole (round start), work 3 DC in one hole to match the curve at the opposite end.
  3. Slip stitch (SS) into the two chain holes from the start to close the round.
    Save

Step 3: Motif Creation

  1. Begin the motif with the following stitches:
    • 2 chains (not counted as a stitch).
    • Work a Front Post Double Crochet (FPDC) around the DC from the previous row.
    • Work DC in the back slip stitch hole.
  2. Skip one stitch, repeat:
    • FPDC into the next DC.
    • DC in the skipped hole (working from the back).
  3. Continue alternating the motif pattern around the base:
    • Skip one hole, work FPDC into the next.
    • DC in the skipped hole from the back.
  4. At the rounded ends marked with 5 DC clusters, alter the method to create a seamless curved design:
    • Insert FPDC in first DC hole without skipping stitches.
  5. Place markers in critical sections:
    • Use markers for rounded sections where 3 or 6 DCs form clusters.

Step 4: Building the Bag Body

  1. Build the height by continuing the same motif in rows:
    • Use 2 chains as base starting point.
    • Skip 1 stitch to form motifs around the circumference of the bag body.
  2. Repeat this pattern until the bag reaches the desired height:
    • Follow the process detailed in Step 3 to build an even body.
      Save

Step 5: Twisted Handles

  1. Mark 18 stitches along the top row with markers for the handle placement (both sides of the bag).
  2. Using yarn, stitch handles into the marked positions:
    • Work FPDC and DC in alternating forms to stitch and twist handles outward rather than inward.
  3. Fold handles inward at marked points:
    • Twist sections outward as demonstrated in the folding process, securing with stitch markers and sewing.
      Save

Step 6: Closing and Finishing

  1. Secure all loose yarn ends by trimming and weaving them into the bag structure using a needle.
  2. If desired, sew a magnetic button inside the bag flap.
  3. Shape the bag with gentle stretching or light steam blocking following completion.
    Save

Final Words

Congratulations on completing your racut bag! This design blends functionality with unique aesthetics such as twisted handles and alternating post patterns. The finished bag provides both visual interest and durability for everyday use.

Tips for Success

  1. Fine-Tune Dimensions:
    • Adjust the bag’s length and width based on your specific needs by modifying the foundational chain length or adding rows during body construction.
  2. Marker Placement:
    • Use stitch markers to simplify counting in curved sections; this safeguard prevents errors.
  3. Handle Variations:
    • Experiment with inward or outward twists to align with personal style preferences.
  4. Yarn Tension:
    • Maintain consistent tension to ensure smooth motifs and neat edges.
