Step by step Pattern
Base of the Bag:
- Start with a slip knot. To make a chain, yarn over and pull through the loop.
- Chain 26 for a standard bag size or 32 for a bigger bag.
- Skip two chains, then in the third chain from the hook, start making double crochets. To do a double crochet, yarn over, insert your hook into the chain, yarn over again and pull through two loops on your hook twice.
- Continue one double crochet in each chain across. In the last chain, place three double crochets together.
- Now working on the other side of the chains, place one double crochet in each stitch across. Join with a slip stitch to the first double crochet.
Mesh Pattern Rounds:
- Chain 2, yarn over and insert your hook into the first stitch; make a double crochet.
- Chain 1, skip one stitch, and double crochet into the next stitch, creating the mesh pattern.
- Continue the pattern around, join with a slip stitch to the top of the first double crochet.
- Repeat these steps for 10 more rounds or more, depending on your desired bag height.
Strap:
- Determine the placement of the strap and mark with stitch markers.
- Reattach your yarn with a slip knot where a marker is placed.
- Chain 4, double crochet into the marked stitch, chain 1, and follow the mesh pattern for the strap length.
- Sew the strap ends to the opposite side of the bag, ensuring not to twist the strap.
Crochet Decoration Patterns
Flower:
- Chain 9.
- Starting from the second chain from the hook, make one single crochet, one half-double crochet in the next chain, then five double crochets (one in each next 5 chains), followed by three half-double crochets in the last chain.
- Mirror the pattern on the other side of the chains.
- Fasten off and sew the petals together, optionally color the flower with pink eyeshadow or blush for a natural look.
Starfish:
- Start with a magic ring.
- Make 5 single crochets into the ring.
- For each starfish arm, chain 7, then make a pattern of one single crochet, two half-double crochets, and three double crochets down the chain. Slip stitch into the next stitch on the ring.
- Repeat for a total of five arms.
Jellyfish:
- Begin with a magic ring. Make 6 single crochets into the ring.
- Increase in each stitch for the next round to double the number of stitches.
- Continue increasing rounds as described, changing colors as desired.
- For the tentacles, cut yarn to length, attach by pulling through the stitches on the jellyfish's underside. Secure and trim as needed.
After attaching all decorations, your crochet mesh bag is complete with charming aquatic features. Enjoy your crafting!
