Mini Knot Bag Crochet Pattern
Tips
- Use an even number for the chain if you want to make the bag smaller or larger.
- After the first row, the bag is worked in continuous rounds.
- The handles are 2 different sizes, worked in rows.
- This pattern uses 2 strands of yarn
Bag size: without handles 7 in x 7.5 in with longest handle 12 in high
Ch 20 using 2 strands of yarn
Row 1: In the 2nd ch from the hook sc in each st across. 2 sc in the last ch. Turn and sc in each st on the other side of the chain. 2 sc in the last ch.
Round 1: sc in each st around.
Round 2-3: Repeat Round 1
Tip: Alternate single stitch and double crochet for the main part of the bag.
Tip: single crochet stitch on top of double crochet, double crochet on top of single stitch for entire pattern.
Round 4: sc in the 1st st, dc in 2nd. Repeat sc, dc for entire round.
Rounds 5-19: Repeat Round 5.
Round 20-22 : sc in each st around.
Short Handle
Row 1: sc in the next 5 sts. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 2: sc in 2nd st and in each st of the row. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 3-22: Repeat Row 2.
Cut and know yarn.
Long Handle:
Pull up a stitch counting 5 stitches from the end of the bag from the opposite side where you made the short handle.
Row 1: 5 sc. Ch 1 and turn.
Row 2: sc in 2nd st and in each st of the row. Ch 1 and turn.
Repeat Row 2 until you have 40 rows. Cut and knot yarn.
If need a larger handle just add more rows. I doubled the short handle to get the length of the long handle.
I had about 1 ball of yarn left over if you want to make the bag bigger or the handles longer.
Finishing
Lay bag flat. Fold each handle over 1 at a time and sew to the opposite side of the bag. Go back and forth 2-3 times for strength. Go through the back half of the stitch on each side to help hide the joining.
