Knot Bag Crochet Pattern

Tips

• Use an odd 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.

Bag size: without handles 8.5 in x 9.5 in with longest handle 14 in high

Ch 41

Row 1: In the 2^nd 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 2-4: Repeat Round 1

Tip: Alternate slip stitch and half double crochet.

Tip: Slip stitch on top of half double crochet, half double crochet on top of slip stitch for entire pattern.

Round 5: sl in the 1^st st, hdc in 2^nd. Repeat sl, hdc for entire round.

Rounds 6-76: Repeat Round 5.

Round 77-80 : sc in each st around.

Short Handle

Row 1: sc in the next 15 sts. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 2: sc in 2^nd st and in each st of the row. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 3-24: Repeat Row 2.

Cut and know yarn.

Long Handle:

Pull up a stitch counting 15 stitches from the end of the bag from the opposite side where you made the short handle.

Row 1: 15 sc. Ch 1 and turn.

Row 2: sc in 2^nd st and in each st of the row. Ch 1 and turn.

Repeat Row 2 until you have 48 rows. Cut and knot yarn.

If need a larger handle just add more rows. I double the short handle to get the length of the long handle.

If you make the handle larger you might need more yarn. I used most of the 3 skeins for my bag.

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.
