Start with the Bag Base using the honey velvet yarn and a 6mm hook. Begin with a chain of 21. In the first round, you’ll make 19 single crochets, and 4 single crochets in the last stitch. Continue on the other side of the chain base with 18 single crochets and 3 single crochets in the first stitch for a total stitch count of 44.
Increase gradually in each round. By Round 5, the base dimensions should be around 25 cm by 10.5 cm.
For the Front and Back Panels, use the purple yarn and a 6mm hook. Begin by joining the yarn with a BLO single crochet in the middle stitch of the 3 corner stitches. Work 28 BLO single crochets (28). Continue this for rounds 2 to 20.
For the Sides, use pink velvet yarn and a 6mm hook. In the first round, work 12 BLO single crochets (12). Continue this for rounds 2 to 12, adjusting the rounds for the left and right sides as necessary.

Once you finished the above parts, turn the bag inside out and sew the sides together using a yarn needle and velvet yarn. You should also line the interior with a Plastic Canvas cut to size.
Create Sunflower Radio Speakers using a 4.5mm hook. Start with pink worsted yarn with a magic circle. In round 1, make 10 puff stitches, chain 1, and use a slip stitch to close. Change to yellow yarn in round 2 to create the petals.
For Radio Dials, use cream-white acrylic yarn and a 4.5mm hook. Create 3 rectangles as follows:
- Rectangle 1: Chain 36, then for rows 1 to 4, work 35 single crochets.
- Rectangle 2: make a chain of 13, then for rows 1 to 14, work 12 single crochets.
- Rectangle 3: Chain 13, then for rows 1 to 4, work 12 single crochets.
For the Handle crochet a chain of 17 using a 6mm hook. In row 1, make a single crochet increase, carry out 14 single crochets, then another single crochet increase for a total of 18 stitches. Rows 2 and 3 should contain 18 single crochets. Rows 4 to 8 should contain 3 single crochets. Create two of these pieces and insert a cut plastic canvas for stability.
Finish off by sewing all the decorative elements to the front of the bag. Sew the lining inside the bag and create the top of the bag. Attach the handle, chain strap, and zipper according to the pattern requirements and your personal taste. This concludes the pattern for your boombox bag.
