Crochet Little Cute Bag Pattern

Materials Needed

1. Yarn
   • Material: MC XL cord (macramé cord recommended)
   • Quantity: Approximately 170 meters (ideal for completing the bag, tassel, and strap).
   • Example Size: 130m (a single ball of XL wire yarn may provide a good starting base).
2. Hook
   • 3.75 mm crochet hook (a smaller hook is used to achieve a tighter stitch for a sturdy bag structure).
3. Other Tools
   • 2 Ring Loops (used for attaching the handle).
   • 2 Screws & Screwdriver (for tassel attachment).
   • Magnetic Clasp: A set of 2 magnetic snaps/clasps for the opening/closure.
   • 2 Needles: A small sewing needle for attaching the magnetic clasp and a larger tapestry needle for sewing the bag pieces and weaving ends.
   • Chain for Tassels: 2 small base chains to attach the tassels to the rings.
   • Scissors: For cutting yarn.
   • Candle/Lighter: Heat-treat yarn edges after cutting for a clean and sealed finish (works best if using synthetic yarn).

Gauge

• 10 stitches x 10 rows in single crochet = Approx. 5 cm x 5 cm.
• The bag uses tight stitches for better durability. Adjust hook size if your tension is too loose or tight.

Finished Size

• Bag Body: Approx. 24 rows in height and 47 chains in width.
• Shoulder Strap: Approx. 25 cm.
• Tassels: Approx. 5 cm (length can vary by personal preference).

Special Techniques

1. Single Crochet (SC):
   Insert hook, yarn over, pull up a loop. Yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook.
2. Crossed SC Stitch:
   • Skip 1 stitch, SC in the next stitch.
   • Return to the skipped stitch, SC into it by crossing over the previous SC.
   • Repeat across the row to create a detailed cross pattern.
3. Triple Decrease:
   Yarn over, insert into the next stitch, pull up a loop. Repeat in the next two stitches. Yarn over and pull through all loops on the hook to accomplish 1 triple decrease.
4. Slip Stitch (SL ST):
   Insert hook, yarn over, and pull through the stitch and the loop on the hook.
5. Heat Treating Tassels (Optional):
   If using synthetic yarns, lightly singe the cut edges of yarn to prevent fraying. Hold the yarn above a flame and roll it for a sealed edge.
