Special Notes & Tips

  • Jasmine Stitch (Puff): In this pattern, the jasmine stitch is worked as a cluster of long loops (puffs) gathered at one point, then anchored with a chain.
  • Tension: Looseness is key! To create a fluffy puff, keep loops about 1.5–2cm (0.5–0.8″) long.
  • Turning: The pattern moves in rows for the base, then in the round for the bag’s body.
  • Stitch Counts: Base counts are given; size can be changed by working a larger or smaller base rectangle.
  • Sides: Mark each corner of the base for easier transition when working into the sides.

Special Stitch: Jasmine Stitch (Puff)

How to Jasmine Stitch (Puff):

  1. Step 1: Pull up a long loop (about 1.5–2 cm).
  2. Step 2: Yarn over (YO), insert hook into target st or space, draw up a long loop (repeat three times – you should have 7 loops on your hook).
  3. Step 3: YO, pull through all loops, chain 1 to secure puff.

Sizing

  • Base: 12 puffs (short side) × 21 puffs (long side), approx. 12×21 cm (4.75″×8.25″), but grows slightly with work.
  • Bag Body Height: About 10 rounds of jasmine stitch; approx. 16cm (6.25″).
  • Handles: 17 puffs long, approx. 30cm (12″) each.

Pattern

1. RECTANGULAR JASMINE STITCH BASE

Set-Up

  1. Foundation: Make a slip knot, ch 2.
  2. Create First Puff (petal):
    • YO, insert hook into 2nd ch from hook, pull up a loop about 2cm (keep loose).
    • YO, insert again into same space, pull up a long loop (repeat total 3 times).
    • YO, pull through all loops, ch 1 to secure.
    • This forms 1 jasmine petal.
  3. Make 5 more petals into the same spot (for a total of 6).
    • Always begin puffs as above using the base of previous puff or chain for the first row.
    • Tip: For each petal, insert hook into the triangular opening just formed in the previous puff.

Base Row – First Side

  1. Continue: Repeat above steps to make a row of 6 jasmine petals in a line—the “short” side.
    • Always insert in the “triangular” space at base of last puff.

Side Rows (Building Rectangle)

  1. Turn: Ch 1, turn.
  2. Edge Puff: Work 1 jasmine puff (pillar) vertically into last ch-1 space.
  3. Horizontal Puffs: Repeat as before: for each jasmine puff, insert hook into the ch-1 triangular space of the row below.
    • Repeat until you have 12 rows (should be a rectangle: 6 petals in each row × 12 rows).

Finished Base Size: Should measure about 12–12.5cm short side and 21–21.5cm long side.
Adjust size as needed by working more rows or fewer for length.

2. CROCHETING THE BAG SIDES (BODY)

Preparation

  • Using stitch markers, mark each corner (where short and long rows meet).
  • The base will now be worked in the round (circle) using jasmine stitch.

Round 1 – Attaching Sides

  1. Begin at a Corner (long side): Leave yarn attached or join a new ball at any long side.
  2. First Side Setup: Start with body part of jasmine stitch:
    • Work a jasmine puff into the first side (not pillar or head, but body of the side).
    • Continue jasmine stitches as established, working into each triangular ch-1 space along the edge.
    • On short side, work 6 puffs; on long side, 12 puffs.
    • Always work in the round, keeping puffs continuous along each edge.
  3. Continue: Repeat on all 4 sides for 1 round.

Rounds 2–10 – Building Bag Height

  1. Subsequent Rounds: For each new round, continue jasmine stitch in spiraling rows or join and turn as preferred.
    • Each puff will be made into the ch-1 space at the top of the puff from the previous round.
    • On each side, maintain 6 puffs (short) or 12 puffs (long).
  2. Continue: Work a total of 10–12 rounds or until bag body reaches your desired height (appx. 16cm/6.25”).

3. FASTEN OFF AND TIDY

  • Once bag body is complete, fasten off securely and weave in all loose ends.

4. HANDLE (Make 2)

  1. Foundation: Make a slip knot, ch 2.
  2. Row 1: Work 17 jasmine petals in a line, as in the base (not in rounds).
  3. Row 2: Add 1 “pillar” petal vertically at end for strength.
  4. Finish: Ensure handle measures about 30cm (12″); adjust puff number if needed.
  5. Make a second handle in the same way.

5. ASSEMBLY & FINISHING

Adding Handles

  1. Mark Placement: Fold bag in half, use pins or markers to position handles evenly.
    • Handles should be 9 petals apart (see interval in transcript).
    • Leave even spacing from bag edges for symmetry.
  2. Sewing: Attach handles with sewing thread for durability, sewing between puff clusters for secure connection.
  3. Sew all 4 ends.
  4. Optional: Add fabric lining for bag structure, sew in place before attaching handles.

Conclusion

This jasmine stitch tote bag pattern allows you to create a beautifully textured, colorful accessory. While the stitch looks complex, the pattern’s methodical step-by-step construction makes it accessible even to intermediate crocheters. With careful attention to stitch formation and tension, the result will be a neat, sturdy bag with a distinctive floral texture.

Pattern Correction & Tips

Corrections/Clarifications:

  • If your puffs open large holes, try keeping the tension slightly tighter, but not too much (loops should be fluffy).
  • Always work jasmine stitches (puffs) into clear ch-1 triangle spaces—misplacement will distort the pattern.

Tips:

  • Practice jasmine stitch separately before starting the bag to achieve a consistent look.
  • Measure base and handle as you go to avoid accidental shrinkage or stretching.
  • For a sturdier bag, consider lining or reinforcing handles with fabric.
