Materials
- Chunky Yarn (for bag): Recommended for a sturdy and quick-finish bag; adjust length if using thinner yarn.
- Hook Size: 10 mm crochet hook (for chunky yarn); use suitable hook for flower yarn.
- Stitch Marker: Useful for beginners to mark the first stitch of each round.
- Keychain/Key Ring: For attaching the finished flower to the bag.
- Scissors
- Yarn Needle: For securing ends and closing the bag.
- Optional: Additional decorative elements (extra flowers, beads, buttons).
Gauge
Gauge is not strictly required, as the bag is adjustable to fit your preferred size. For reference, with chunky yarn and a 10 mm hook, a foundation chain of 27 will fit most standard smartphones. Adjust chains accordingly for your preferred width.
Finished Size
- With chunky yarn and 10 mm hook:
- Width: Approximately 6–8 inches (15–20 cm)
- Height: Approximately 6–7 inches (15–18 cm) with four rows
- Strap length: Customizable (sample uses 20 chains for a short handle)
- Fits a phone and small essentials
Special Techniques
- Working in the Round: Bag is crocheted as a tube; not worked in panels.
- Slip Stitch Joining: Ensures seamless rounds and neat finish.
- Double Crochet (dc): Used throughout the main body for speed and texture.
- Sewing/Crochet Closure: The base is closed using either single crochet or sewing with a hook/yarn needle.
Pattern Instructions
1. Foundation Chain
- Make a slip knot.
- Chain 27 (or desired length; adjust to fit your phone or other essentials).
Tip: Ensure the chain is not twisted before joining.
- Join into a round:
Insert hook into first chain. Slip stitch to connect.
2. Bag Body (Double Crochet Rounds)
Rounds 1–4 (or desired height):
- Chain 2 (counts as first dc).
- Work 1 double crochet (dc) in each chain around. Use stitch marker to mark the first dc of the round if desired.
- At end of round, slip stitch to top of first dc to join.
- Repeat for a total of 4 rounds or until desired height.
Tip: Count your double crochets to ensure you maintain the same stitch number as your foundation chain.
3. Strap
- After completing the last round, chain 20 (or desired strap length for a small handle).
- Attach the strap to the opposite side:
Find the dc at the opposite side of your bag opening, insert hook, slip stitch to secure the chain. - Fasten off and cut yarn.
- Use the yarn needle or hook to secure and weave in ends.
4. Base Closure
- Turn the bag inside out for ease.
- Use leftover yarn and a hook/yarn needle to join the bottom edge:
- Align the edges.
- Insert hook through both sides at once, pull yarn through and repeat along the edge (like sewing or slip stitch/seaming).
- Fasten off at end, secure, and weave in ends.
5. Flower Accent
- Attach flower to a keychain ring.
- Attach the keychain to the bag strap or front as desired.
- Alternatively, sew or crochet multiple flowers directly onto the bag for additional decoration.
Customization Ideas
- Size: Adjust foundation chain and number of rounds for desired width and height.
- Decoration: Add more flowers, appliqués, beads, or embroidery for a unique touch.
- Different Straps: Use longer chains for shoulder straps; add buttons or closures for security.
- Color: Use multiple yarn colors or make stripes for added visual interest.
Tips
- Check fit after making foundation chain by wrapping it around your phone or desired item.
- If using a stitch marker, move it up each round to keep track of your starting point.
- Secure yarn ends neatly inside the bag to avoid fraying and bulk.
- Ensure the chain is not twisted when joining. Carefully align edges before closing the base.
