Once upon a time, the combination of the words "knitted bag" was associated only with a string bag - an invariable attribute of a Soviet housewife. But today, when handmade products are finally gaining well-deserved popularity, handbags knitted and crocheted take their rightful places in wardrobes and wardrobes. Today, a knitted bag can be found not only on the beach, but also in the city, besides, summer is no longer the only season suitable for this accessory. Crocheting a bag is pretty straightforward. Even a schoolgirl who has learned the pattern "double crochet" can cope with this task.
Crocheted bags with diagrams and descriptions
1. Striped bag on one handle
The main pattern is a double crochet. To crochet a bag, you will need cotton yarn 4-8 colors, the total weight is about 150 grams. Suitable, for example, "Jeans" from YanArtr. It is quite possible to use the remains of yarn, the main thing is that all the threads are of the same thickness and blend well. For the above yarn, hook No. 2.5 is suitable. We knit a chain 30-40 cm long, depending on the desired width of the product. The next row - double crochet. We knit in a circle, changing the thread to a new color on one of the side seams. When the bag reaches the desired height, we knit one circle with a single crochet and cut the thread. The pen can be made of leather (for example, an unnecessary belt or belt), or you can also crochet and sew. As a fastener we use a large button or Velcro.
2. Round-bottom bag
To create such a bag you will need yarn from linen, bamboo, coarse cotton, a hook of at least 3.5 and a handful of wooden beads. Here, special attention should be paid to how to tie the bottom of the bag. We hook 10 air loops, close the ring. We knit 20 single crochet into the resulting circle, and then knit in a circle, making the following increases: 1st row - in every second loop, 2nd row - in every third, 3rd row - in every fourth loop we knit 2 double crochet, and the rest - one at a time. We add until the diameter reaches the desired size. Then we continue knitting without adding to the desired height. If desired, you can make multi-colored stripes and decorate the bag with beads.
How to crochet a bag for the cold season?
Summer bags open up huge scope for creativity. They can be variegated and monophonic, noble-lace or completely frivolous - to match summer clothes. But not every bag is suitable for a strict coat, fur coat and even the most provocative down jacket. Therefore, if we want to create an accessory for autumn or winter, we will take into account several rules:
- bags for the cold season are not customary to knit from thin yarn. The same threads are suitable as for a winter scarf, gloves;
- lining is required;
- natural or artificial fur, large beads, pebbles, and rhinestones are perfectly acceptable for decoration.
What to wear a hand-made bag with?
Before crocheting a bag, you should decide whether it fits into the wardrobe. Lovers of boho style can safely add any of their looks with such a thing. For those who like jeans and denim jackets, a knitted bag is also a good fit. But it is better not to combine such an accessory with a business suit. It is unlikely that he will suit sportswear. And with knitted coats and jackets it is better not to carry such a bag at all. But all this is just general advice, which, of course, involves exceptions. The main thing is to adhere to a sense of proportion in everything and not change your style.
