Easy Crochet Bag for Beginners Step by Step Tutorial How to Crochet a Bag with Macrame Cord

Today I will show you how to make this small cute crochet bag. From my inside it looks like this. This is the bad side, the handles, the good side, the bottom. We will start this project from the bottom and we will go round by round up till we make the last round with the handles. To make this project you will need 450 or half or 500 grams of four millimeters twisted cotton cord. I'm using four millimeters Monomi studio cord. This cord is perfect for crocheting. For my bag that I will be using now I will be using green color and this is mint color. You will also need eight millimeters hook. You can get everything in monomi.com. There is a kit that includes the cord, the hook and what is special you can also get this label with the word handmade in your kit that makes the bag perfect. I'm using with the word Monomi as this is my brand and you can get the label with the same label that I'm using with word handmade on it. Make a knot and now chain 13. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 and 13. Do not chain it very tight and do not chain it very loose just medium maybe a little more loose so that would be easier for you to make single crochet in each of the stitch. Round one. Now we start working in a round like this on the chain that we just made. So now chain one. Now we'll skip the stitch that we just made and in this one we will make two single crochet in one stitch. One single crochet and now second single crochet also in the same stitch like this. Now we'll make 11 single crochet right here. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and 11. So we made 11 single crochet. Now for the end right here in the next stitch we will make two single crochet in one stitch. So this is single crochet now in the next stitch right here two single crochet in one stitch. The first one the second one also in the same stitch just like this. So one side of the chain is made now we will work on the other side of the chain. Right here in the same loop that we made we will make two single crochet in one stitch right here. One single crochet and now second single crochet right here two and now we will make again 11 single crochet right here. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and 11. 11 single crochet and now to finish the round right here we will make two single crochet in one stitch. The first one and the second one. There is no joining stitch at the end of every round so round two. As I said there will be no joining stitch at the end of every round so we will just start making round two and we will start by making two single crochet in one stitch. From round two we will be working only in the back loop. What does it mean? These are the main two loops but we will be crocheting only in the back loop right here. So only in the back loop let's start maybe by making two single crochet in one stitch. Two single crochet in one stitch. Let's repeat this one more time in the next stitch. One single crochet and another single crochet. So we repeated this two times and now let's make 11 single crochet right here only in the back loop. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and 11. So 11 single crochet. As I said do not crochet it very tight. Now we'll make two single crochet in one stitch and we will have to repeat this four times only in the back loop. So 1 2 single crochet in one stitch. Now to the next stitch again we will repeat the same. The first one and the second one also in the same stitch. To the next stitch also the same two single crochet in one stitch and to the next one also the same two in one stitch. So four times two single crochet in one stitch. And now on the side we will also make 11 single crochet only in the back loop. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 and 11. So 11 single crochet and now to finish the round we will make two single crochet in one stitch and we will have to repeat this two times. So one and the second one next to it and now once again two single crochet in one stitch. One and two. And this is the end of round two. At the end of this round let's put a marker right here to the last stitch and this is the base of our small bag and from the next round we'll start making the easy part of this project. Round three. In round three we will start making the sides of the bag. So from round three to round eleven we will be repeating the same. Making single crochet only in the back loop just like this all the rounds. No joining stitch, no more combinations, just single crochet only in the back loop just like this. So now it's the easiest part of creating this bag. Single crochet only in the back loop just like this. So all the way from round three to round eleven working single crochet only in the back loop just like this. It's really easy and fast to make so you can turn your favorite movie, tv show or audiobook or just relax in the silence and enjoy the process of creation. Nothing to count. You have a marker right here. This is the end of round two. So when you are done just count from right here till round eleven and as I am speaking I'm almost finishing round three. So now stop the video and continue doing the same till round eleven. When you make more rounds the bag will come up taller and taller. Fold it like this. Just make single crochet stitch by stitch every stitch in the same size. So now just enjoy the process of crocheting. This is round nine that I'm creating now and you can see the bag is coming up really really nicely stitch by stitch. One side, the other side, inside of the bag. Everything looks just perfect. So make this crochet till round eleven. As you can see this is the marker. So this is the end of round two. So this is round three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

In every round you should make 38 stitches and you should finish at the very side of the bag. Now round twelve. We will be making the handles in this round and we will be also working only in the back loop. So let's start by making five single crochet only in the back loop. One, two, three, four and five. Now we will be making the handle. I will chain 13. If you want to make it the handle longer, chain more. But I will be making 13 and this is like will be the medium size handle. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve and thirteen. So this is our handle. Now we'll skip seven stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. To the eighth stitch let's make single crochet. So this is our handle. Chain 13, skip seven stitches. Now let's continue making 12 single crochet. So we made one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve. And now we'll make the second handle. Also chain 13. If you made the first handle longer, make also it longer the second handle. But I will chain 13. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. Now again we'll skip seven stitches. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. And to the next one we'll make single crochet only in the back loop. So the two handles are done. And finish the round by making seven single crochet. So this is the one that you made. Two, three, four, five, six and seven. So the round with the handles is made. This is how it looks like. Round 13. In round 13 we'll work in single crochet only in the back loop all the way on the handles too. So let's make stitch by stitch single crochet like this. Only in the back loop on the side. Then jump on the handle. Also only the back loop. Taking only one loop of the chain right here, right here. You can see how nice the handle is coming up. So you can stop the video now and continue working this round stitch by stitch. And I will meet you at the very end of making this round and I will show you how to fasten off the end of the bag. And I'm almost at the very end of creating this bag. So single crochet, one more stitch. So this is the end of this bag and I will show you how to end and fasten off. So for the very end make two slip stitches. One slip stitch and second slip stitch like this. Pull the cord a little bit longer. Cut it right here. And now I'm using the tape to put it at the end of the cord. So I have a tape. I will put it at the end of the cord. Wrap it around like this few times. Press it and I will cut then with scissors to have nice ending. Now right here let's make a knot like this. Then let's take smaller hook and hide the end of the cord inside of the bag between the stitches like this. Maybe one more stitch right here like this. And your perfect bag is done. All that I will add, the final detail that I will add will be the label handmade. I will be using the label Monami but if you get do-it-yourself kit with the cord pattern and the hook you will get the same label just with word handmade. It's easy to attach with thin yarn with these four holes. So I hope it was interesting for you. Thank you for watching. If you have any questions please let me know.
