Uses and Special Features
-
Everyday Style: This bag is spacious enough for daily essentials while maintaining a unique, handmade aesthetic.
-
Relief Texture: Six vertical “relief columns” provide structural integrity and a striking visual pattern.
-
Custom Closure: The twisted drawstring and sliding toggle allow for easy opening and closing.
-
Versatile Hardware: The use of snap rings makes it easy to swap out straps to match different outfits.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. While the bag uses standard stitches, managing the relief columns and the specific “invisible” joining technique requires focus and some prior crochet experience.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Play with Color: Use a contrasting color for the drawstring and toggle to make the design “pop.”
-
Leather Accents: For a more premium look, substitute the crocheted drawstring and strap with leather furniture.
-
Tension Check: Ensure your relief stitches aren’t too tight, or the bag walls might pull inward.
Conclusion
The “Torba” bag is a perfect project for crocheters looking to move beyond flat circles and into functional 3D fashion. Its structured bottom and elegant vertical lines create a professional silhouette that is both durable and lightweight.
Tip
When making the twisted drawstring, the cord will likely stretch over time. Make the initial rope slightly shorter than you think you need; it will reach its perfect length once the bag is weighted with your belongings.
