Materials Needed

  • Thinner Yarn: For the optional daisy flower (e.g., 4-ply milk cotton).
  • Crochet Hook: Size is dependent on the yarn thickness (10mm for the chunky yarn; smaller for thinner yarn).
  • Stitch Marker: A helpful tool for beginners to track the start of rows.
  • Scissors: For trimming loose ends.
  • Keychain Rings: For attaching the decorative daisy flower to the bag’s strap.

 

Special Features

  1. Beginner-Friendly Design: Uses basic crochet stitches, mainly double crochet and slip stitch.
  2. Customizable Size: Adjust the width and height of the bag to suit your preferences.
  3. Decorative Daisy Accent: A removable keychain daisy flower adds charm to the final product.
  4. Simple Structure: The bag is constructed in a circular round pattern, avoiding the need for panels.
  5. Quick to Complete: Minimal rows and easy-to-follow steps make it a fast yet rewarding project.

Level of Difficulty

  • Beginner-Friendly: The project’s core techniques—chains, double crochet, slip stitches—are accessible for those new to crochet.
  • Potential Challenges for Beginners: Connecting the chains into a round and ensuring the bottom alignment for closing the bag may require patience.

Tutor’s Suggestions

  • Use Chunky Yarn: This minimizes the rows and stitches required, making the project quicker to complete.
  • Count Your Stitches: By keeping track of the base chains and rows, beginners can maintain consistent dimensions.
  • Add a Stitch Marker: It simplifies the process of finding the start and end of each row.
  • Double Check Chain Connections: Ensure your initial chain is not twisted when joining it into a round.
  • Securing the Ends: Take time to secure the yarn ends neatly for a polished finish.

Step-by-Step Details

Step 1: Starting the Base

  1. Slip Knot and Chain
    • Create a slip knot and chain 27 stitches (or adjust based on the width desired).
    • The chain will form the circular base of the bag.
  2. Join Chain into a Round
    • Carefully join the first and last chain together with a slip stitch, ensuring the chain isn’t twisted.
  3. Chain & Begin Double Crochets
    • Chain 2 to start the first row, and begin working double crochets. Skip the 2 starting chains and insert the hook into the first chain of the round.
  4. Add a Stitch Marker
    • Place a stitch marker on the first double crochet for easy identification of row start/end.

Step 2: Building the Body of the Bag

  1. Continue Double Crochet Rows
    • Work double crochets in each stitch for 27 stitches per row (or your initial chain count).
  2. Slip Stitch at the End of Each Row
    • Join the last stitch to the first with a slip stitch and chain 2 to begin the next row.
  3. Repeat Until Desired Height
    • Complete 4 rows of double crochet (or adjust based on the desired height of your bag).

Step 3: Adding the Strap

  1. Create the Chains for the Strap
    • At the end of the final row, chain 20 stitches (or adjust based on the strap length you need).
  2. Attach to the Opposite Side
    • Slip stitch the strap chain to a corresponding double crochet on the opposite side of the bag.
  3. Fasten Off and Trim
    • Cut off the yarn and securely weave in the loose ends.

Step 4: Closing the Bottom

  1. Align the Bottom Edges
    • Fold the bottom of the circular bag flat, aligning the two edges.
  2. Join the Edges with Slip Stitches
    • Use the hook to sew the bottom using slip stitches, ensuring the bag is evenly aligned.
  3. Secure and Trim
    • Fasten off and weave in the ends neatly.

Step 5: Adding the Daisy Keychain (Optional)

  1. Crochet the Daisy
    • Refer to the linked daisy crochet tutorial in the video’s description. Use thinner yarn for the flower.
  2. Attach the Daisy to the Bag

The charming addition of a daisy flower as a keychain adds personality to the handmade accessory, making it a versatile piece perfect for casual outings or gifting.

Bonus Tip

For a polished look, block the finished bag by gently steaming it or shaping it after washing. This will ensure that the bag retains its shape and eliminates any curling edges.
