Hello steemit community I want to share with you a crochet bag that for me is part of a challenge, because its realization took hours of work and sometimes I had to undo to start again because it was my first crochet bag and I had no idea how to do that, I only had photos of handbags and I wanted to make an original design.
The color of the bag was not totally my idea, I was going through thread stores and I found this thread waxed and very resistant, so it would be ideal for this job because I could carry the bag to the beach with total peace of mind, there was no more colors just a bright purple and an orange so I thought it was the most appropriate color
I used a 5.5 mm needle, since I used two threads together to make the fabric thicker. I also used dark green wool to decorate the bag, the flower was an idea that emerged after finishing the bag.
Step by step
- I started the bag with a magic ring with 8 single crochet stitch to make a circle, the next round was 8 increases, the third was with a single crochet stitch and then an increase, the fourth round was two points and then an increase and so on until you have 10 lines in a circle-single crochet.
Then I made 24 lines of single crochet stitch to make the body of the bag, change the thread and use dark green wool to make a row more of single crochet stitch that would be the 25.
I made 3 lines of single crochet stitch with the thread waxed and then started with the handles.
For the handle, the row number 29 was of single crochet stitch but in the center of the bag I made a simple chain of 24 points leaving 18 points of the previous row without knitting and closed it with a slip stitch in the point 19 to complete the row of single crochet stitch this I repeated twice to have the two handles.
Row 30 was of single crochet stitch and when I reached to the simple chain I made single crochet stitch in each points in the same way.
To finish the bag, make one more row of points with the waxed thread and then one with the dark green wool and finally finish with the waxed thread the last round.
This was the second bag I made in the same style, but decorate it with brown wool and I don't put the flower.
