Crochet Flower Pouch Bag Tutorial
The tutorial guides you on creating a cute crochet drawstring bag using a 2.5mm crochet hook and 4-ply cotton yarn. The project includes the base, body, decorative edging, flowers, and drawstrings.
Step-by-Step Process:
Creating the Bag Base:
- Begin with a magic circle to form the foundation.
- Work rounds of double crochet, increasing stitches in each subsequent round to expand the base evenly.
- Secure each round by joining with a slip stitch.
Building the Bag Body:
- Transition to creating the body of the bag by repeating a pattern of double crochet stitches and chain spaces.
- Chain spaces are used to add decorative gaps while maintaining texture.
- Repeat this pattern for several rounds, ensuring the stitch count remains consistent for the desired width.
- Fasten off the yarn once the body is complete.
Adding Leaf Edging:
- Crochet leaf-shaped edging around the top of the bag using chain spaces and single crochet stitches.
- Alternate between two distinct decorative patterns in the chain spaces to create the leaves.
- Secure the edge and fasten off as the decorative border completes the bag’s design.
Crocheting Flower Embellishments:
- Create puff stitch flowers as decorative accents.
- Puff stitches are worked into chain spaces to form petals, and additional stitches shape the flower centers.
- A second part involves adding single crochets and double crochets for extra detailing.
- Make multiple flowers to adorn the bag and drawstrings.
Making the Drawstrings:
- Crochet two drawstrings using chain stitches, ensuring they’re long enough to thread through the top edge of the bag.
- At the ends, secure small puff stitch flowers to enhance the design and conceal loose yarn tails.
Final Assembly:
- Thread the drawstrings alternately through the openings in the bag’s edging.
- Use one drawstring to thread in one direction and the other in the opposite direction to ensure smooth closure.
- Attach the flowers to the drawstring ends and secure all loose yarn tails.
