Green Crochet Bag







The 1st 2 photos are the back of the bag, where I made a cellphone pouch attached. It is all my own design.

3rd and 4th photo are the front side with a flap and instead of buttons kept 2 beads !

My little bag made with different stitches and the cellphone pouch attached at the back, also made with different stitches. I'm not very good in writing pattern, but hope this helps. In case anyone wants more detail, please free to ask. Good luck to all.

I prefer to make bags as one piece, than making small squares and joining, as I feel made as one piece will be sturdy.

For the cellphone pouch- I started with a long chain to fit my phone, then rows of sc, then 4 rows of Celtic stitch, which is like double cross, you skip 2 st, then make 2 dc, then make dc over the skipped st.

then some rows of dc, then rows of sc, then dc, 1 ch, skip one st, dc in next.

then again sc rows, then sc, 3 ch, skipped 2 st, sc in next, s

next row, sc, over 3 ch I made sc, hdc 3 sc, sc over sc till end same pattern repeated.

last row, sc, over sc- sc, 3 hdc- sc,then sc over sc. repeat.

I thought that I'ld attach the cellphone pouch with crochet, it was going to one side, so marked and attached with thread.

I always love to carry bags made by me. I had made one green bag, bigger than this, with space for bottle on one side and cellphone on the other side, my niece liked it, gave it to her, she said that it is perfect to put a change dress when she goes for a swim !

So, I didn't have a green bag, thought that I'ld make that can go with my green sarees !

How to do a rectangle base for a bag

 

Normally when we crochet a long chain of the desired length, then do 2 sc in 2nd ch, sc till the last, in last ch 3 sc, turning, we do sc in each till the end and join.

What we get is an oval shape. I wanted a rectangle for the base of my bag

So, in the 2nd row onwards, in each corner st, made 2 sc and continued like that till the desired length I wanted. I got a nice rectangle.

I've not yet finished this bag, just wanted to show you all that you can make a rectangle in this way.

Good luck and good health to all. Praying for the pandemic to go away soon.
