🧶 Description:
In this video, I’ll show you how to make a beautiful, durable crochet shoulder bag using a canvas base for extra structure and a professional finish. This project is perfect for beginners or intermediate crocheters who want to create a trendy, long-lasting handmade bag.
✨ Materials You’ll Need:
- Canvas fabric or pre-cut canvas bag base
- Cotton or nylon crochet yarn (medium weight recommended)
- Crochet hook (size 3.5 mm – 4.5 mm depending on yarn thickness)
- Scissors
- Yarn needle (for weaving ends)
- Measuring tape
- Fabric glue or sewing machine (optional)
- Bag strap or crochet strap (optional metal rings for attachment)
- Lining fabric (optional for inner finish)
🧵 Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Canvas Base
- Cut your canvas fabric into the desired bag size — for example, 30 cm x 25 cm for a medium shoulder bag.
- If you have a pre-made canvas base, skip this step.
- Sew the sides and bottom together (right sides facing each other) to form a bag shape.
- Turn it right side out.
Step 2: Mark and Create Crochet Foundation
- Along the top edge of the canvas, mark small evenly spaced holes (about 1 cm apart).
- Using a sharp hook or awl, carefully make holes for your crochet stitches.
- Attach your yarn to the canvas with a slip knot and make a row of single crochet stitches all around the top edge. This creates the base for your crochet pattern.
Step 3: Start Crocheting the Body
- After the foundation round, you can choose your favorite stitch pattern:
- Half double crochet (hdc) for a smooth, dense texture
- Granny stitch for a more decorative, open look
- Moss stitch for a modern, woven style
Continue crocheting in rounds until the bag reaches your desired height.
Step 4: Add Shoulder Strap
Option 1: Crochet the Strap
- Make a long chain (about 90–120 cm depending on your height).
- Work single or half double crochet rows until the strap is thick and strong.
Option 2: Attach a Pre-made Strap
- Use metal rings or D-rings to connect a leather or fabric strap to the sides of the bag.
Step 5: Finishing Touches
- Weave in all yarn ends with your needle.
- Add lining fabric inside if desired (hand-stitch or use fabric glue).
- Optionally, attach zippers, buttons, or magnetic snaps for closure.
🌸 Pro Tips:
- Use canvas fabric for durability — it helps your crochet bag keep its shape.
- Choose contrasting yarn colors for a trendy design.
- You can embroider or add appliqué to personalize your bag.
- For a waterproof finish, use coated canvas or spray a fabric protector.
