Crochet Mesh Bag Pattern With Ribbons
Materials Needed:
- Main color acrylic yarn (White mentioned)
- Accent colors (Red mentioned for this pattern)
- Scissors
- 4.5 mm hook (A 4 mm hook is also suitable if you don't have a 4.5 mm)
Starting the Mesh Panel:
- Start with a slip knot.
- Chain 41 (adjust the length if needed, but this tutorial uses 41 chains for the example).
- Chain an additional 3, totaling 44 chains.
- Double crochet in the 5th chain from the hook to create the first gap.
Pattern Continuation:
- Chain 1, skip the next chain, double crochet in the second chain. Repeat this across the row.
- At the end of the row, chain 3, turn your work.
Creating the Mesh Texture:
- Double crochet into the top of every double crochet from the first row.
- Repeat the pattern of chaining one, skipping the chain from the previous row, and double crochet into the top of the previous double crochet.
- Work a total of 12 rows for the main rectangular piece.
Working on the Triangle Piece:
- Chain 3, turn work.
- Double crochet into the next double crochet, for a total of five double crochets plus the starting chain three.
- Continue with slip stitches and double crochets as per the established repeating pattern to create the triangle that shapes the curve of the bag.
Making the Strap:
- Follow a similar pattern as used for the bag’s body, using chain and double crochet stitches for a total of 13 rows, creating two grids.
- Finish the strap by chaining one, then snip your yarn and pull through to secure.
Joining Both Sides:
- Once both panels are completed, join them together by placing the wrong sides facing up.
- Single crochet around the edges to join them together, ensuring the straps are also joined properly.
Adding Accent Color and Ribbons:
- Using your accent color yarn (red is used in the example), start anywhere on the panel to add a border of single crochet stitches all around the top edge of the bag.
- To add the ribbons, chain 50 (or desired length) to create each ribbon. Secure them to the bag at your desired locations.
Finishing Touches:
- Weave in all ends for a clean finish.
- Optionally, use a lighter carefully to prevent the acrylic yarn ribbons from fraying (be cautious as acrylic is flammable).
Additional Notes:
- Adjustments can be made to the bag’s size by changing the initial chain number or the number of rows worked.
- The creator encourages trying different colors and sharing the outcomes.
