Step-by-Step Pattern Instructions

Part A: Make Granny Squares

Granny Square Setup:

  1. Starting with Color #1 (Light Brown):

    • Create a magic ring.
    • Round 1:
      • Chain 3 (counts as the first double crochet).
      • Crochet 7 DCs into the magic ring (for a total of 8, including the chain 3).Crochet Mini Bolsa Tejido
      • Pull the magic ring tight to close the center and slip stitch into the third chain to end the round.

  2. Switch to Color #2 (White):

    • Attach the new yarn to any stitch of the circle with a slip stitch.
    • Round 2:
      • Chain 3 (this counts as the first DC).
      • Crochet 2 more DCs into the same stitch (a group of 3 DCs).
      • Chain 2 (to create a corner).
      • Skip to the next stitch group and repeat:
        • Crochet 3 DCs in one stitch and chain 2.Crochet Mini Bolsa Tejido
        • Continue until you complete 8 groups of 3 DCs separated by chain 2 spaces.
      • Slip stitch to the third chain of the first stitch to close the round.

  3. Switch to Color #3 (Pink):

    • Attach the new yarn to a corner stitch space (chain 2 space).
    • Round 3:
      • Chain 3 (counts as the first DC) and crochet 2 DCs into the same corner space, forming a group of 3.
      • Chain 2 and make another 3 DCs into the same corner space.
      • Chain 2 to transition.
    • In the next chain space (between groups):
      • Crochet 3 DCs. Do not add extra groups in non-corner spaces.Crochet Mini Bolsa Tejido
      • Chain 2.
    • Repeat the pattern of corners having two groups of 3 DCs and intermediate spaces having one group of 3 DCs until the round is complete. Slip stitch to the third chain at the start to close the round.

  4. Switch Back to Light Brown (or Color #4):

    • Attach the light brown yarn to any corner space.
    • Round 4:
      • Chain 3 and make 2 DCs into the same corner space.
      • Chain 2 and make another 3 DCs in the same corner space.
      • In each intermediate space: Crochet 3 DCs per space, followed by chaining 2.
      • Continue across the round, maintaining the corner structure (two groups of 3 DCs) and intermediate structure (one group of 3 DCs). Slip stitch to close the round.

Part B: Join the Granny Squares

  1. Create two granny squares following Part A.
  2. Position squares inside-to-inside (wrong sides facing inward).
    • Align corners perfectly and begin joining with slip stitches.
  3. Join exclusively through inner loops:
    • Insert the crochet hook through the inner back loops of both granny squares.
    • Slip stitch to join each corresponding stitch. Leave one edge open (this will be the bag’s opening).Crochet Mini Bolsa Tejido

Part C: Add Height to the Bag

  1. At the edge of the open side (top of the bag):
    • Round 1:
      • Chain 3 and begin crocheting one DC over each stitch around the edges.
      • In corner spaces, crochet one DC directly in those gaps.
    • Repeat for 3 total rows of DCs to add vertical height to the bag.

Part D: Decorative Finishing

  1. Reverse Crochet Edge (Crab Stitch):
    • Chain 1 at the last DC row, and crochet SCs backward (reverse direction) around the entire top edge for a polished finish.
    • Fasten off and weave in ends securely.
  2. Create Drawstrings:
    • Use pink yarn and the smaller 3 mm hook.
    • Crochet 100 chains each for two drawstrings.
  3. Insert Drawstrings:
    • Using a tapestry needle, weave drawstrings around the openings, alternating through front and back two DCs per section.

Part E: Add Cute Button/Rosette Detail

  1. Rosette/Button Circles:
    • With pink yarn, create small magic rings and crochet 7 DCs into the ring.
    • Slip stitch and fasten off, leaving a long tail.
  2. Attach to Bag:
    • Use cold silicone or sew these rosettes over the tied-off portion of the drawstrings to disguise knots neatly and add decorative flair.

Final Words & Tips:

This crochet granny square bag combines utility and charm, giving crocheters a simple yet stylish project.

Tips:

  • Customize Colors: Pick shades that reflect your personality or match your wardrobe!
  • Bag Size Adjustment: Add more granny squares or extend the vertical height for larger storage.
  • Alternative Closure: Replace drawstrings with zippers or buttons for a different aesthetic.
