Making The Chunky Shoulder Bag

Materials:

  • Medium size acrylic yarn
  • 6 mm crochet hook
  • Yarn needle
  • Stitch markers
  • Scissors

Abbreviations:

  • ch: chain
  • sc: single crochet
  • dc: double crochet
  • sl st: slip stitch
  • fpsc: front post single crochet

Step by step Instructions

  1. Foundation Chain:
    • Make a slip knot.
    • Create a foundation chain of 34 chains (or the desired length, in multiples of 2, around 27-29 cm).
    • Save
  2. Base of the Bag:
    • Row 1: Starting from the 2nd loop from the hook, sc in each chain across. Mark the first sc. (34 sc)
    • Row 2: Continue to sc on the bottom side of the starting chain.
    • Total sc count at the end of the base is 68 (34 on each side).
    • Save
  3. Create Rounds:
    • Join the last sc to the first sc with a sl st.
    • Round 1: Ch 1, sc into the same stitch. Continue sc around the base (68 sc).
    • Round 2: Repeat Round 1.
  4. Start Body of the Bag:
    • Round 3: Chainless dc in each stitch around.
      • Chainless dc: Pull the loop longer, twist it, insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over and pull through (3 loops on the hook). Yarn over and pull through 1 loop, yarn over and pull through 2 loops to finish the dc.
    • Round 4: Start with a chainless dc, then work alternating front post double crochets and regular double crochets.
      • Front post double crochet (fpdc): Yarn over, insert hook around the post of the dc from the previous round, yarn over and pull through (3 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 loops, yarn over and pull through the last 2 loops.
    • Repeat this pattern until the body of the bag reaches the desired height (15-17 cm).
  5. Handle of the Bag:
    • Determine the placement of the handles on each side (mark the positions on both sides of the bag).
    • Using the same dc pattern as the body, work the stitches between the marked positions.
    • Work back and forth to create the handle until it reaches the desired length (19-22 cm, or 15-18 rounds).
    • Save
  6. Finish and Join Handles:
    • Once the handles are complete, join them on the opposite side by sewing with a yarn needle.
    • Hide the yarn ends inside the stitches to secure and tidy up the edges.

Final Touches:

If desired, add a lining to the bag or a magnetic clip for closure.

Save

Notes:

  • Ensure that multiple strands of yarn do not get tangled while working.
  • Keep checking the alignment of stitches to maintain the texture and pattern.
