Hi, today's pattern is a pretty bag with ruffle trim which you can use to store small yarn projects. 


Watch the video tutorial here

Materials required:

Medium worsted weight yarn in any color of your choice approximately 275 yards

H/5 mm crochet hook

Stitch markers

Yarn needle

Size:

The bag measures about 11 inches wide and 9.5 inches high measured from the center of the base when laid flat excluding the handles

Abbreviations/stitches Used:

** - Repeat instructions within asterisks as many times as directed

[ ] - Repeat instructions within parenthesis as a set as many times as directed

ch - chain

st/sts - stitch/stitches

sl st - slip stitch

sc - single crochet 

dc - double crochet

Instruction:

Note: Work in continuous rounds without joining at the end of each round. Use a stitch marker to identify the 1st st of every round.

Round 1: Ch 9, sc in the 2nd ch from hook and in next 6 ch (place a marker at the 1st of the 6 sc and the 6th sc), 3 sc in last ch, sc in next 6 ch on the other side (place a marker at the 1st and the 6th st), 2 sc in next ch. (18 sts)

You will have 6 sts from one marker to the next on both the sides and 6 sts at each end outside the markers. No increases will be made in the 6 sts on either side and increases will be worked only on the 3 sts on either end.

Round 2: 2 sc in next st, sc in each st from marker to marker, 2 sc in next 3 sts, sc in each st from marker to marker, 2 sc in next 2 sts. (24 sts)

Round 3: sc in next st, 2 sc in next st, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next st, 2 sc in next st] 3 times, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next st, 2 sc in next st] 2 times. (30 sts)

Round 4: sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st] 3 times, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st] 2 times. (36 sts)

Round 5: sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st] 3 times, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st] 2 times. (42 sts)

Round 6: sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st] 3 times, sc in each st from marker to marker, [sc in next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st] 2 times. (48 sts)

Round 7 to 14: Repeat the rounds increasing 6 sts in each round following the patterns of the previous rounds. You will have 96 sts in the last round.

Round 15 to 45: sc in each st around. (96 sts) Do not cut off yarn. Continue working the ruffles.

Ruffles

To work the ruffle trim, turn the bag so that the opening is towards you and the base is away from you and work into the back loops only

Round 1 (work into the back loops only): Ch 1, sc in 1st st, ch 1, **skip 2 sts, [dc, ch 3, dc] in next st, ch 1, skip 2 sts, sc in next st, ch 1** Repeat from ** to ** around.

Round 2: Sl st in next ch and st, sl st in next ch-3 space, ch 3 (counts as dc), 6 dc in same space, work 7 dc in each ch-3 space around. Join with a sl st to the 1st st.

Round 3: Ch 4 (counts as dc + ch 1), sl st in the 3rd ch (forms a picot), ch 1, dc in next dc, repeat [ch 4, sl st in 3rd ch, ch 1, dc in next dc] 5 times, **dc in next dc, repeat [ch 4, sl st in 3rd ch, ch 1, dc in next dc] 6 times** Repeat from ** to ** around. Join with a sl st to the 3rd ch at the beginning of round. Cut off yarn.

Work a round of sl st in the unworked free loops. Cut off yarn and weave in the loose ends.

Strap (make 2)

Cluster – [Yarn over, insert hook into st, yarn over and pull yarn through st] 3 times, yarn over and pull through all loops on hook

Row 1: Ch 3, cluster in the 3rd ch from hook. Turn.

Row 2: Ch 3, cluster in cluster. Turn.

Repeat row 2 until you reach the desired length of strap. (I worked 20 rows of cluster). Cut off yarn and weave in the ends.

Finishing

Sew the straps to the bag.
