Why Make a Crochet Tote Bag?

Crochet tote bags are popular because they are:

• Reusable and eco-friendly

• Strong enough for daily use

• Easy to customize with colors and decorations

• A great beginner crochet project

Many tote bag patterns use basic stitches such as chain, single crochet, and double crochet, making them ideal for crocheters who are still learning the craft.

Materials Needed

To crochet this tote bag, you will need:

• Medium-weight cotton yarn or acrylic yarn

• Crochet hook (size 4 mm – 5 mm recommended)

• Yarn needle

• Scissors

• Stitch marker (optional)

Cotton yarn is often recommended for tote bags because it is durable and holds its shape well.

Step-by-Step Crochet Tote Bag Pattern

Now let’s do our project in making the crochet bag. You can use yarn as your preference. But cotton yarns are easily entangled with dirt and difficult to wash away and take time to dry.

First, we have to think of the size of our bag. I have shown the bottom of the bag here to show you how to get the measurement. Herewith my yarn I have taken the length of the foundation chain as 13” and its ended up with a width equal to 15” or 38cms.

Step 1 :Frist make a long chain by counting and measuring it to see if it has the needed length. Then get the nearest number of multiple of 7. That is the final number of chains should be divided by 7. Further, it should be an even number, that is should be divided by 2 also. For example, 168 chains, 182 chains, 196 chains, etc.

Actually, the thickness of the yarn also affects the size. If you want a big bag, you can use thick yarn, and then you can have somewhat less number of chains. If the yarn is thin, you have to make more chains to get a large-sized bag.

 Now you have the foundation chain. 

Round1: Make 3 dc into the third chain from the hook. Then make  double crochets (dc) to each of the remaining chains except the last chain, into the last chain make 6 dcs. Then work on the backside of the foundation chain. Make 1 dc into each of the chains and into the last chain make 3 dcs. Then join the first dc with a slip stitch.

 2:  Chain 2, make 2dc to each of the next 3 stitches. Then

 make 1 dc along each of the next dcs until you come to the set of

 6dc stitches. Then make 2dc into each of the 6 dc. Then make 1dc

 along each of the next stitches until you come to the 3 sets of  2dc

 stitches. . Make 2dc into each of the 3 sets of dcs. Join the first dc (2ch)with a slip stitch 

 3: Chain 2. Make *(2dc),1dc* alternately to each of the next 6 stitches. Then make 1 dc along each of the next dcs. Then make *2dc,1dc* into each of the set of 12 dc. Then make 1 dc along each of the next dcs until you come to the 3 sets of 2dcs. Into each of these 6 dc make *2dc,1dc* alternately. Then join to the 1^st dc.

 4: Chain 2, make 1dc (into the back loop) around and join with a slip stitch to the first dc made.

Half way of 4th round

5 and 6: ch 2 make 1dc around and join with a slip stitch to the first dc made.

Finishing the round

Joining to the 1st dc

                                     

                                   

Now the base/bottom of the bag is made.

   7: Make 5 chains and make 1 dc into the same stitch. Chain 5 skip 6dc. Dc in the next stitch, chain 2 dc in the same stitch. (V stitch) *Ch5, skip 6, (dc, ch2, dc )* repeat. From * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the 3^rd chain of the 5 chains made at the beginning of the round.

                                                         

Round 7

For the pattern, we use two double crochet together stitch. (2dctog.)

How to do 2dc.tog. stitch: This is done in the V stitch of the previous row.

Yarn over insert the hook into the V stitch and pull up the yarn now

 you have 3 loops on the hook. Pull up the yarn and release 2

 loops.  Now you have 2 loops on the hook. Again yarn over, insert

 the hook and pull up the yarn and release 2 loops. Now you have 3

 loops on the hook. Pull through all three loops.

We should do it 4 times in the space of V stitch. In between each 2dc tog. stitch there should be 1 chain.)

Round 8: Into the next space of chain two(V stitch) make *Chain 1, 2dc tog. stitch, then ch1*. Repeat from* to*3 more times; Then *ch1, dc in the 3^rd dc below, ch1, (2 dc together x4) in the V stitch * 

dc on the 3rd dc below
in between 4 dc together groups

 Repeat from* to*around.  Now you have reached the 2 dc together stitch made at the beginning. Now add (chain 1, (2 dc together) 3 times to the same space. Join with a slip stitch to the first 2dc tog. stitch made at the beginning.

Round 8

 

 9: Make slip stitches into the next 2, chain 1 spaces and then into the dc. Chain 5, dc in the same stitch, chain 5, skip the next (2 dc together x4) group. In to the next dc below, make * (dc chain 2 dc), ch 5, skip the next (2 dc together x4)   group*. Repeat from *to*around. Join with a slip stitch to the 3^rd chain of the beginning 5 chains.

10: Make a slip stitch into the next chain 2 space of the V stitch. Make a 2 dc together stitch in the same space. Chain 1, into the V stitch  2 dc together 3 more times.  * ch1,dc in the middle of the 4, 2dc together group, Chain 1, into the V stitch  2 dc together x4* Repeat around.  

From Round 11, you can repeat round 9 and round 10 alternately to get the needed height.

Half-finished bag

                                      Top part and handles.

Now we have the final round which is similar to round 10. This is with an uneven upper edge and as the top, we have to make it even. To do this start from where you finished the last round.

 Make ch1 and single crochets in the top of 4 dc 2 tog. stitches. Half double crochets  in each of the next ch 1 space, dc, and ch 1 space. * 1 Sc on top of each of the next 4 (dc 2tog.stitches.) (Do not make 1sc into the ch1 space between dc2tog.stitches.)  Hdcs in the next ch 1 space, dc, and ch1 space* Repeat from * to *around.  Sc in the last four dc2 tog. stitches. Join with a sl.st. to the first single crochet you made.

Next 4 rounds: Ch1 sc in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch to the 1^st sc you made. Fasten off.

                                               Handles

Now we can make handles. These handles are not separately attached but continue with the top part.  

 Keep the bag on a flat surface and first select the places you are going to start the handles. From each side of the bag measure equal distance and mark it on both sides of the bag with stitch markers or simply with a piece of another colour yarn. Otherwise, you can count an equal number of 2dctog. groups from either side. (I have counted 6 groups from either side and marked them.) Now join the yarn to the marked stitch of one side and make a chain with a length of 19” or as your liking. (I have crocheted a shoulder bag to keep my hands free. So, handles should be rather long).

To avoid the twisting of this long chain, make 1 single crochet to the 2^nd chain from the hook and 1sc to each of the chains remaining. (Working backwardly along the chain). Then again make 1 sc into each of the sc along. Then join the free end of the long chain to the next marking of the same side of the bag. From there you should make single crochets until you reach the next marker of the other side of the bag.

Then start to make the long chain of 19” (2nd handle) and strengthen it by two rows of single crochets. Then join to the next mark of the same side. Then make single crochets along the top edge until you reach the attached point of the first handle. Work 1sc to each of the sc along with the handle. From there, make single crochets along the top edge, along with the 2^nd handle, and again the top edge. Likewise, make many rows and stop when you get the desired handle width. 

 You can attach a bunch of flowers to decorate the bag. In the next post, I will explain to you the crocheting of a flower.

 Optional Decorations

You can personalize your crochet tote bag with:

• Crochet flowers

• Buttons

• Tassels

• Color stripes

• Granny square panels

Adding decorations can turn a simple bag into a unique handmade accessory.

Tips for a Strong Crochet Tote Bag

• Use tight stitches so the bag does not stretch too much.

• Choose cotton yarn for better durability.

• Reinforce the handles with extra rows of crochet.

These small adjustments can make your crochet bag stronger and longer-lasting.

Final Thoughts

Crocheting a tote bag is a fun and rewarding project for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. This simple pattern allows you to create a stylish and practical bag that can be used every day.

Once you learn the basic technique, you can experiment with different yarns, stitches, and designs to make unique crochet bags.

Handmade crochet bags are not only beautiful but also a great way to reduce plastic bag usage and create sustainable accessories.

Baby sweaters 

finished baby sweater

are a must for newborn babies because they have very delicate skin. When you make baby sweaters you have to select a soft and light yarn that protect the warmth also. Some yarns may cause inhaling problems for the baby due to the fine dust they have. Some synthetic yarns may cause rashes on the skin. So be very careful when you select the yarns for crocheting for baby suits.

The colour selection is also very important. Soft light colours are good for babies. Shades of blue for baby boys and shades of pink for baby girls are nicely matching. But you can think of any other colours except dull colours. For this sweater I have selected, light and dark of the same colour, that is light purple and dark purple. Further, you can try white and dark colours also like blue and white, pink and white etc.

I have used 2mm yarn and a 4mm hook. Started with dark purple colour.

Make 60 chains. Measure the length of it and it should be equal to the length of the neckline.

Row 1: Make 3 ch, then 1 dc to the 4^th chain. Then 1dc to each of the other 57 chains. When come to the last two chains, make 1 ch and skip one ch and make 1 dc to the last chain. Turn.

Row 2: sl.st.to the st. below. 2 ch, 2 dcs to the ch 1 space. 2dcs into the dc below. 3dcs to the next 3dcs below. 2dcs into the next dc below. *3dc, 2dc to the same st.*Repeat. Turn

Row 3:  sl.st. to the st. below. 2ch, 2dc, 2dc into the next st. Then 4dc to each of 4 dcs below. Then 2dc to the stitch below.*4dc, 2dc into the same st.* Repeat. Turn

Row 4: sl.st. to the st. below. 2ch, 2dc, 2dc into the next st. Then 5dc to each of 5dcs below. Then 2dc to the same stitch below.*5 dc, 2dc into the same st.* Repeat. Turn.

Row 5: sl.st. to the st. below. 2ch, 2dc, 2dc into the next st. Then 6 dc to the each of 6 dcs below. Then 2dc to the stitch below.*6 dc, 2dc into the same st.* Repeat. Turn.

Row 6: sl.st. to the st. below. 2ch, 2dc, 2dc into the next st. Then 7 dc to the each of 7 dcs below. Then 2dc to the stitch below.*7 dc, 2dc into the same st.* Repeat. Turn.

Row 7: sl.st. to the st. below. 2ch, 2dc, 2dc into the next st. Then 8 dc to the each of 8 dcs below. Then 2dc to the stitch below.*8 dc, 2dc into the same st.* Repeat. Turn.

Now the yoke is ready. Now I have 146 dcs around.

We have to divide this number of stitches into 5 parts. That is two parts for the back, (As this is a back opening sweater, the back is with two parts) two parts of sleeves and the front part. Mark the stitches after counting the necessary amount.

Marking should be done as follows,

 Count 23 stitches from back opening and mark it, then from there 30 stitches for sleeve and mark, then from there count 40 stitches and mark for the front, again 30 st. for sleeve and mark, and 23 st. for back again. Turn.

Now we can start with pattern rows.

Round 1: Change the colour, (Dark clour) join the new colour yarn to the stitch where you have finished earlier. Make 3 ch, 2dc to the next two stitches. ch1,1sc to the next, ch1 skip 2 st. and 6dc into the next st. ch1 skip 2 1sc to the next.

*Ch1, skp2, 1sc, ch1 skp 2, 6dc* Repeat from* to * until you reach the marker. (That is the beginning of the 30 chains of the sleeve.)

Now we should separate the sleeve part by joining the beginning stitch of the 30 stitches with the ending stitch of the 30 stitches. (That is to the next marker.)

To do this insert the hook to the beginning stitch of 30^th st. of the sleeve part and make unfinished sc and then insert the hook to the ending st. of 30^th st. and make unfinished sc and complete both unfinished scs together. Now you have separated the sleeve part.

Then ch1, skip 2 and 6dc to the next stitch. *Ch1, skp2, 1sc, ch1 skp 2, 6dc* Repeat from* to * until you reach the marker.

Then again we have to separate the sleeve. To do this insert the hook to the beginning stitch of 30^th st. of the sleeve part and make unfinished sc and then insert the hook to the ending st. of 30^th st. and make unfinished sc and complete both unfinished scs together. In this way, we can separate the sleeve.

Then ch1, skip 2 and 6dc to the next stitch. *Ch1, skp2, 1sc, ch1 skp 2, 6dc* Repeat from* to * After the final fan of 6dcs, (you should have 5dcs remaining) Ch1 skp2 1sc, ch1 3dc to the 3dc below. Turn,

Pattern Row 2: Make a sl.st. to the stitch below. Then 2ch, 2dcs to the 2 dcs below. Then make 3 front post double crochets to the fan below. Chain 2 and again make 3 front post double crochets to the fan below. *3fpdc, ch2, 3fpdc* Repeat to the end. Turn.

Pattern Row 3: Make a sl.st. to the stitch below. 2ch, 2dcs Ch1, 1sc in-between the fans. then, ch1, 6dc into the middle of the fan below. *Ch1, 1sc, ch1, 6dc*. Repeat from* to * until you finish the row.

Repeat pattern rows 2 and 3 alternately until you come to the necessary length. I did about 13 pattern rows.

Sleeves: Start from the underarm with light colour.

Round 1 :*ch1, 1sc, 1ch, skip 2, 6dc, 1ch, skip 2, 1sc* Continue until end. At the end make unfinished scs to the beginning ch1 and another to the sc there and complete both together. Turn

Round 2: *3ch, 3front post double crochet, 2ch, 3fpdc* Repeat. At the end sl.st. to the 3^rd ch of the beginning 3 chains. Turn.

Round 3; Repeat rounds 1 and 2 until you have 9 rounds.

A crochet doily

A doily

This is a very nice crochet pattern for a doily. In this sample, the diameter is 7”. I have used a yarn with a thickness of 2mm. and a hook with 1.60 mm. You can use cotton yarn in making these. It is more heat-resistant and washable. Further, it is easy to work with. 

If your yarn is not thick enough you can use 2 strands of the same colour. That is, you can crochet by taking two strands from two skeins with the same type and same colour. 

For one doily of 7” diameter you need less than 25g of yarn.

You can make a set of these and use them on your dining table or sell in an online market. If you are going to sell these online you have to have an online store and way of accepting money. There are some online markets you can join them free. For others, you have to pay a registration fee. Even you can advertise and sell them on your Facebook page also.

Let’s learn how to do this.

A triangle shawl is a stylish crochet garment shaped like a triangle that drapes elegantly over your shoulders, back, and front. Unlike rectangular scarves, triangle shawls offer more coverage and can be styled in multiple ways — from casual throws to dressy wraps. �

Depending on your yarn choice, a triangle shawl can be:
Lightweight for spring and summer,
Cozy and warm for autumn and winter, or
Dressy and elegant when worked in silk, lace, or fine cotton yarns. �

🧶 Materials You’ll Need
Before you begin, gather:
Yarn of your choice (cotton, acrylic, lace, or wool),
A crochet hook that matches the yarn weight,
Scissors,
A tapestry needle for weaving in ends,
Optional: stitch markers.
The yarn and hook size you choose determine the drape and warmth of your shawl. A finer yarn with a smaller hook creates a delicate look, while a thicker yarn with a larger hook gives you a cozy, statement piece. �

📏 Triangle Shawl Size & Measurements
A classic triangle shawl for adults usually has:
Base width: around 50 inches,
Side length: approximately 30 inches. �

These measurements make a shawl large enough to wrap around your shoulders comfortably while still being easy to wear with different outfits.
✨ Crochet Pattern: Step-by-Step Instructions
This pattern begins at one corner of the triangle and grows gradually with each row until the shawl reaches the desired size. �

 This pattern creates a beautiful texture while keeping the triangle shape balanced and symmetrical.
💡 Tips for Successful Crochet
✅ Stitch Consistency
Keep your tension even throughout — this guarantees a smooth shape and balanced drape.
✅ Choosing Yarn
For a light shawl: use lace or fingering weight yarn,
For a warm shawl: choose worsted or bulky yarn. �

✅ Blocking Your Shawl
Blocking helps open up lace patterns and smooth your edges. Gently wet the shawl, pin it into shape, and allow it to dry naturally — the difference is stunning.
👗 How to Wear Your Triangle Shawl
The great thing about triangle shawls is their styling versatility:
Drape over shoulders for a classic look,
Wrap around your neck like a scarf,
Tie one corner in front for a casual outfit,
Use it as a head or waist accessory for creative fashion statements. �

 Why Make Your Own Shawl?
Crocheting your own triangle shawl is not only rewarding — it’s also a personalized fashion accessory you can gift to loved ones. Handmade items carry meaning and warmth that store-bought pieces can’t match. Whether you choose bold colors or neutral tones, each shawl becomes a reflection of your creativity.
🧵 Bonus: Common Crochet Questions Answered
❓ Can beginners make triangle shawls?
Absolutely! Many patterns use basic stitches like single and double crochet, which beginners can master quickly. �

❓ Does it have to be lace or fancy?
Not at all — simple stitch patterns like granny or moss also make stunning triangle shawls.
