Pattern:
Starting the Crochet Bag (Magic Circle and Base):
Magic Circle:
- Make a magic circle.
First Stitches:
- In the magic circle, crochet 3 single crochets.
First Chain:
- Make a chain, but do not pull the thread tightly. Leave it a little open.
Second Row:
- In the second row, start with 2 single crochets in the first stitch, placing a marker in the first stitch.
- Make 3 single crochets in the middle base stitch, placing a second marker in the middle point.
- End the row with 2 single crochets in the last base stitch, placing a third marker in the last stitch.
Ensuing Rows:
- Proceed by increasing stitches at the markers with 2 single crochets at the beginning and end of each row, and 3 in the middle base stitch.
- Continue this pattern for a total of 12 rows.
Body of the Bag (Increasing and Decreasing Patterns):
Decreasing Rows:
- After completing 12 rows with increasing stitches, switch to a decreasing pattern.
- Start decreasing by combining two stitches at the beginning and end of each row and continue to make 3 single crochets in the middle marker.
- Repeat this decreasing pattern until 32 rows are completed.
Total Row Count:
- You should now have a total of 44 rows (12 rows increasing + 32 decreasing).
Finishing the Crochet Bag:
Bag Edges:
- Crochet single crochets along the side, the bottom, and the other side of the piece. Do not edge the lid at this step.
Folding and Sewing Sides:
- Fold the piece in the middle and mark where to sew, leaving 3 stitches on each side for the fold-over flap.
- Use slip stitches to sew along the marked sides.
Applying Rhinestones:
- Lay out rhinestones on the lid, glue them for fixation, and then sew each one on individually using the provided openings for sewing.
Magnetic Button:
- Sew the magnetic button to the corresponding parts of the bag's body and lid.
Strap:
- Attach carabiner rings on each side of the bag if desired and attach a strap, which could be a chain or a crocheted one for a personal touch.
Final Measurements:
- Width: 22.5 cm
- Height: 42 cm (without flap)
Conclusion:
- Finish hiding the ends and cutting/burning any excess thread.
