Crochet Fashionable Bag
Uses
-
Fashion Accessory: A modern, versatile bag suitable for casual or semi-formal outfits.
-
Durable Handbag: The sturdy polyester cord ensures the bag maintains its shape and withstands daily use.
-
Gift Item: Its professional, high-end appearance makes it an excellent handmade gift.
Special Features
-
Seamless Construction: The bag is worked in one continuous piece, including the flap.
-
Integrated Handle: The handle is crocheted and attached directly into the fabric during the process.
-
Ribbed Texture: The use of back-loop-only stitches creates a classic ribbed look that adds depth to the design.
Level of Difficulty
Intermediate. While the stitches are basic (single crochet, chains), the project requires careful stitch counting, shaping through increases and decreases, and the integration of the handle.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Use a Yarn Winder: To prevent the cord from twisting while you work, the tutor recommends using a winder for a steady feed.
-
Stitch Markers are Essential: Because the construction is seamless, use markers to track the first/last stitches and increase points to avoid losing the shape.
-
Tighten the Handle Stitches: When attaching the handle, work those stitches more tightly than the rest of the bag to prevent sagging when the bag is heavy.
Conclusion
The MiLena bag is a perfect example of how simple crochet techniques can create a sophisticated, “boutique-style” product. By following the precise increase and decrease patterns, you transform a flat cord into a structured, fashionable accessory that holds its form beautifully.
Pro Tip
If you find the top edge of your bag is flaring out or becoming too loose during the final edging, switch to a 4.0 mm hook (one size smaller). This will naturally pull the opening tighter and give the bag a more professional, “cinched” finish.
