Turquoise sturdy handbag

Did I mention I love bags? Well, I couldn’t help making this one and I am very pleased with how it turned out. I will be making more in different colours…..and maybe even mixing colours up a bit 🙂

The free Daisy Fields Market Tote pattern by Dorianna of The Lavender Chair can be found here:

TIP: While the pattern calls for chunky cotton yarn, you can also crochet this using two strands of DK acrylic and a 6.5mm hook. It will take almost 4 × 50g balls.

TIP 2: I cut out a piece of cardboard in the shape of the base of the bag (from a shoebox I was going to throw away), covered it with a nice fabric, and placed it inside the bag. That way, the base stays flat. It isn’t sewn in, so you can easily remove it before washing the bag.

The Jackfield Tile Bag

I love bags ! And when I came across this gorgeous bag by Christine Bateman – I could not resist! It’s so very cute! And a fantastic use for left over yarn. For the lining, I used a ready made fabric tote bag – which I adjusted to the correct size, however, it is not as stiff as I would like – so next time, I will try a hessian type stiff bag as suggested in the design.

Here is the pattern I used for the bag, designed by CatsWhiskers Crochet:

Lined Net Shoulder Bag

Leave a reply

Do you remember those plastic bag/baskets which had holes and used to be quite popular for carrying grocery shopping?- It’s baskets like the green one shown below that I remember seeing commonly used by housewives doing their grocery shopping at the corner grocer shop. Today, there are very few little grocers left – being replaced by the large supermarkets or chains of mini-marts. Also, few people have baskets like this – often opting for totes or other branded shopping bags which you can buy from the supermarket when checking out.

This bag is inspired by the plastic one above. I have lined it as well so that it stays sturdy, but this is not a requirement. But if you do line it, then it’s perfect for carrying a laptop and notebooks/books. Here is my bag:

20190729_155930

 

I used Katia’s multicolour cotton yarn (Funny rainbow star) for this using a 3.0mm hook. You will need approximately 100g. The instructions are written using US terms.

Abbreviations:

CH – chain stitch
SlSt -Slip Stitch
SC – single crochet
HDC – half double crochet
DC – double crochet
TR – triple crochet

Instructions:

Bag Body

CH 101

Row 1 – 100 HDC in front loop of each chain starting from the 2nd chain.

Row 2 – 100 HDC in back loop of each chain and SlSt into the 1st HDC made in Row 1.

Row 3 – CH 2, DC in each HDC all the way round , joining with a SlSt into the 2nd chain you started this row with.

Rows 4-5 – Repeat Row 3.

Row 6 –  CH 2, DC 4, (CH 3, skip 2 stitches) x 30 times. 10DC, (CH 3, skip 2 stitches) x 30 times, 5 DC, and join with SlSt into 2nd chain you started this Row with.

Rows 7-10 – repeat Row 6.

Row 11 – CH 2, 199 DC all the way round and join with SlSt.

Rows 12-16 – repeat Row 6.

Row 17 – Repeat Row 11.

Rows 18-22 – repeat Row 6.

Row 23 – repeat Row 11.

Rows 24-28 – Repeat Row 6.

Row 29 – Repeat Row 11.

Rows 30-34 – Repeat Row 6.

Row 35-36 – Repeat Row 11. Cast off.

Lining

I took some cream coloured cotton fabric and cut and sewed it into a bag that would fit. Then, I sewed it to the crochet bag at the bottom, and also at intervals – I chose to do so through Rows 11, 17. 23 and 29, making sure as much as possible that there are no creases in the fabric inside bag and it sits straight. Fold the top of the bag over the inner fabric bag and sew along the edge.

To finish this off nicely, using a very small hook (I used a 1.1 mm), 200 SC over the top and into the fabric all the way round the rim of the bag. SlSt to close and cast off.

Button flap

I’ve used a double crochet method to have a nice and sturdy flap. This is how it’s done:

Using the 3.0 mm hook, skip 38 SC from previous step.

Step 1 – 26 SC in back loop of SCs from the Lining Instructions above. Turn.

Step 2 – CH 1, 26 SC through front loop of  SC just made + loop which you didn’t use from the previous SC (lining Instructions).  Turn.

Repeat Step 2 until the flap measure 6 cm.

Now, we will make the button hole.

Step 3 – CH1, 11 SC (through front loop of previous SC + loop from the row before), CH4, 11SC (through front loop of previous SC + loop from the row before). Turn

Step 4 – CH 1, 11 SC (through front loop of previous SC + loop from the row before), 4 SC in back loop of CHs , 11 SC (through front loop of previous SC + loop from the row before). Turn.

Repeat Step 2 twice. Cast-off.

Find an appropriately sized button and sew it onto the bag, making sure that it lines up with the button hole.

Strap

I decided to make a braided strap. To do this,  crochet 3 cords measuring around 70 cm as follows:

In a magic ring, 3CH, 6 DC. Join to 3 CH with SlSt.

Repeat 3 CH, 6 DC, join to 2CH with SlSt  – until cord measures around 70 cm.

Once you have made 3 cords, braid them – securing them by sewing together along the way, so make sure they don’t unravel. Then sew each end of the braid to opposite ends on the inside of the opening of the bag.

Flower 

Here is how to crochet the flower:

Step 1 – In a magic ring, CH3, 12 DC, and close by joining with SlSt.

Step 2 – Repeat (CH 4, skip 1 DC, SlSt into the next Stitch) all the way round – you should have 6 loops.

Step 3 – Repeat (CH 5, skip 1 DC, SlSt into the same Stitch as in step before this) all the way round.

Step 4 – Repeat (CH 6, skip 1 DC, SlSt into the same Stitch as in step before this) all the way round.

Step 5 – Working in the 4 Ch loops formed in Step 2, Repeat (SlSt into loop, SC, DC, SC, SlSt) in each 4 chain loop. Close by SlSt into first SC.

Step 6 – Working in the 5 Ch loops formed in Step 3, Repeat (SlSt into loop, SC, DC, TR,DC, SC, SlSt) in each 5 chain loop. Close by SlSt into first SC.

Step 7 – Working in the 6 Ch loops formed in Step 4, Repeat (SlSt into loop, SC, DC, 2TR, DC, SC, SlSt) in each 6 chain loop. Close by SlSt into first SC. Cast off.

Sew the flower onto the bag.

Summer Beach Themed Tote Bag

Leave a reply

This beach-themed bag reminds me of the sun and sea, with its 3D starfish and conch shells as decorations. I was inspired by Maltese summers and the beaches of Malta.

I made it using the same base pattern that I published earlier for my Boho Tote Bag →. 

The starfish and conch shells were adapted from the Sea Shell Motifs / Garland pattern by Lynne Samaan, which you can find here:

Boho Tote Bag

This tote bag design brings to mind the Flower Power generation, the 60s, hippies and Boho-chic. I think of music festivals, painted Volkswagen Beetles and vans — even the Scooby-Doo Mystery Machine! 😊

So now I’ll share with you my pattern for making this gorgeous tote. I used a variegated yarn by Katia for the bag and handle, but you can mix your own colours. The little daisies were made using acrylic yarn.

All in all, one 150g ball (approximately 540m) was sufficient to make a bag measuring approximately 32 × 32cm, plus the handle, with yarn left over.

For the sake of illustrating the pattern, however, I decided to use a lighter-coloured yarn so that the photographs are clearer. The pattern used for the main bag pictured above is exactly the same.

You can then decorate yours however you fancy — with little flowers, beads or anything else you like.

N.B. This pattern is written using US crochet terms.
