has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Easy Crochet Bag Pattern Overview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This tutorial explains how to make a <strong>simple rectangular tote bag<\/strong> worked from the bottom up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bag Style:<\/strong> Simple tote<br><strong>Skill Level:<\/strong> Beginner<br><strong>Construction:<\/strong> Bottom base + body + handles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Crochet the Bag Base<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The base gives shape and strength to the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Chain 31<\/strong> (this determines the width of your bag)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single crochet in the <strong>second chain from the hook<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue <strong>single crochet across<\/strong> (30 sc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chain 1, turn<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat single crochet rows until the base measures about <strong>20 cm (8 inches)<\/strong> long<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Tip: The tighter your stitches, the stronger your bag will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Start Crocheting the Bag Body<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now we build the sides upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do <strong>not turn your work<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single crochet evenly <strong>around the entire base<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Place 2 single crochets in each corner to prevent curling<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a slip stitch to the first stitch<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>From here on, you will work in <strong>continuous rounds<\/strong> or joined rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Crochet the Bag Height<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chain 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single crochet in <strong>each stitch around<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Join with a slip stitch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat these rounds until the bag reaches your desired height<br>(Usually <strong>25\u201330 cm \/ 10\u201312 inches<\/strong>)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Optional:<br>You can add texture by alternating rows of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Single crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Half double crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simple stitch patterns like <em>sc + ch 1<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Create the Bag Handles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Handles are made by skipping stitches and chaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Crochet across the top until you reach where you want the handle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain 10\u201315<\/strong> (depending on handle length)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Skip the same number of stitches<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue single crochet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat for the second handle on the opposite side<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the round and join<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Next round:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Single crochet <strong>into each stitch and each chain<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This strengthens the handles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Repeat one more round if needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\"
