Crocheting is not just a hobby for retired grandmothers; it is a skill and even an art that is becoming increasingly popular. Crochet is not only practical, but also creative activity, and it's also a great way to do something useful on cold and rainy days while sitting in front of the TV. In this article you will find instructions on how to create a simple bag using only basic crochet techniques. This pattern can easily be modified to create any size and style of bag.

Steps

Simple clutch bag

Repeat the basics of crochet. This bag will be a good job for beginners. If you haven't read about how to crochet, be sure to read the article.

• For this job you just need to know how to knit air loop(conventionally designated “vp” or “vp”) and a single crochet (“st. b/n” or “sbn”).

1. Decide what kind of bag you want to knit. This pattern can be modified to create a small clutch bag, tablet or laptop case.

   • If you plan to carry a specific item in your new bag, measure it in advance (like your laptop) or measure the size and style of bag you want so you already have an idea of ​​the basic dimensions and shape.

2. Choose your yarn. If this is one of your first crochet projects, you'll be better off working with a simple, regular twist yarn in cotton or soft acrylic. It is also better for you to take plain yarn so that you can easily count the stitches and immediately see the quality of their execution.

   Pick up a hook. Choose a crochet hook. Almost all yarn manufacturers will indicate on the label what hook size will work with that particular yarn, so for now it will be easier for you to stick to these recommendations.

   • The general rule in this case is: than more hook, the thicker the yarn should be.
   • If you want to quickly complete the product, select a hook big size and thick yarn. In this case, the columns are larger, therefore, you will collect rows faster.

3. Knit a sample. As in any other business, it will not be superfluous to make a sample of the final product. You may be itching to start knitting your bag, but taking a little time to knit a small square (about 10x10cm) will save you time later.

   • By knitting a test pattern, you will measure the tightness of the knitting (how loose or tight the stitches are) and find out how many stitches fit into a centimeter of knitting.

4. Cast on a chain of air loops, the length of which will be equal to the width of the bottom and top of your bag. Since this is a beginner's project, you will be knitting a rectangle or square (the bottom and top of your bag will be the same width, and the sides will be the same height).

   • More complex jobs can be the most different forms- for example, in the form of an isosceles trapezoid, in which the upper part gradually narrows. To make a bag of this shape, you will need to learn how to decrease the number of stitches in the rows.
   • For a small or medium bag, a chain of 30-60 chain stitches should be enough.
   • Be sure to remember how many chain stitches you knit in this initial chain. It will be easier to write down this number, and if your chain is quite long, insert markers every 10-20 stitches to avoid losing count.

5. Turn the knitting over and knit a row of single crochets (1 sc in each ch of the starting chain). Once you have cast on the initial chain of chain stitches, its length will determine the width of your future bag, so to get started new row, you need to knit in the opposite direction, and not continue this chain. You will need to turn the knitting over each time you get to the end of the row.

   Continue picking up rows until your knitting is the same height as your bag. Now that you've gotten the hang of single crochet and turning, simply continue doing the same steps until the bag reaches your desired height.

   • You will need to fold the top of the bag in half (the top edge will fold down like a pocket flap). Keep this in mind as you knit and don't make the piece too short.
   • If you want the height of the bag to be 30 cm (when the flap is down) and the flap to be approximately 16 cm, then you need to knit a product with a height of 76 cm.

6. Secure the thread of yarn. Once your project reaches the desired height, you will need to cut a strand of yarn and secure it. This is quite easy to do if you crochet.

7. Place the knitted fabric in a bag and sew the edges together. Fold the bottom of the fabric to form an envelope.

   • Check if you have folded the product wrong side out: if you like the way one side looks knitted fabric, fold the product so that this side becomes the front.
   • Take the thread suitable color(the same yarn you knitted the fabric with is best, unless you like the look of contrasting stitches) and sew the sides of the bag together. Stop at the height at which you would like to close the loose lapel.

   Tote bag

   1. Repeat steps 1-5 of the previous section. Instead of a simple clutch, you can try making a tote (or bag). Since in this case you will need to knit two separate fabrics and then sew them together, the bag will be more spacious, so it will be suitable for shopping or a good wallet.

      • The first steps when making a tote bag are the same as when knitting a clutch. You must be able to confidently knit basic stitches and stitches, carefully select your yarn and hook, and decide how you want the final product to look. Once you've completed these steps, you're ready to start knitting your new bag!

   2. Decide if your bag needs a closing flap. You will knit two fabrics and sew them together. If you don't want a closing flap at the top of the bag, the two canvases will be exactly the same. If you want to make such a lapel, the fabric that will become the back of the bag will need to be made higher.

      • For example, if you want a bag with a height of 30 cm with a lapel, one fabric should be longer - knitting it with a height of 45 cm will result in a lapel of 15 cm.

   3. Cast on a chain of chain stitches. Carefully counting the loops, pick up a chain of air loops until its length is equal to the width of the top and bottom of your future bag. You will knit either a rectangle or a square, it all depends on the desired shape of your bag.

      • If your chain is quite long, insert markers every 10-20 stitches to avoid losing count.

Cotton is also suitable for a summer handbag, but acrylic yarn is much lighter and cheaper. We take the knitting density: 18 p. / 7 r. equals 10/10 cm. We knit alternately all the time: with yellow, white, and blue yarn.

Half column (PST): knit 1st r. VP, then we start with the 2nd row. insert the hook only at the rear. walls of section 1 of the river Each row begins with 2 VP lifts and ends with one half-column. in the second VP of the rise of the previous river.

Main (main) pattern:
The number of loops should be divisible by 5, plus two edge loops. Let's look at the diagram: repeating rapport of 6 points. Start with VP and end with it. We do it once from the first to the fourth rows, then repeat the 3rd and 4th rows. And then just knit the pattern with the 3rd and 4th rows.

Bags, crocheted, they usually do this: first the bottom of the bag, then the top. It is better to knit from strong twine or nylon thread: this way the bottom will be solid and stronger. You can knit this pattern:

Or like this:

Or any structural one. We begin to knit the bottom with yellow yarn from a chain of 18 VP and 2 VP rises. To make the shape of the bottom beautiful, add 1 PST on both sides at a distance of 2 cm from each other. The total should be 22 sts. We knit with a pattern of 33 cm. Next, after 33 cm from the beginning of knitting, decrease 1 pst on both sides in two rows. As a result, 18 stitches should remain. We finish the bottom 38 cm from the beginning of knitting.

You can make a semicircular bottom like this in a circular row. from SSN.

Choose any option.

We knit the walls

For the top of the bag, we tie the edges of the bottom with the main pattern (see the alternation of colors). Beginning of the river should be in the center short. sides.

1st row: perform 33 repeats (198 sts) + start and end sts.

Pens

We need the knitted handles for the bag to be non-stretchable - the best option— insert a thick cord or rope into the handle. Using yellow yarn, make 1 chain of 9 VPs and 1 VP rise. We carry out p. RLS, despite the fact that each subsequent p. start with 1 add. initial VP. We finish 1 sc in the 1st sc of the previous row. We finish knitting after 47 cm from the beginning. We cut the rope into two parts, insert it into the knitted strips of the handles and sew them along. We sew the base of the handles to the wrong side of the product so that the distance between the handles is 19-20.5 cm.
