I wanted to show you this pattern I wrote last year again because it is a little bit like the pattern I used for the Lap-top Cover.
Anyway a little while ago I crocheted this seamless bag with chunky wool and a huge hook but never wrote a pattern down. (The size is 37cm wide by 31cm high)
See, I love crocheting but I am not really into sewing the sides up for bags. So please find below the pattern for a seamless purse. I guess it’s probably totally the wrong way to make a bag/purse but it is soo easy! Here is a view of the bottom and I think it looks fine.
The end result looks like this and the only thing you have to do at the end is sew the buttons on and weave the ends in.
I used:
6mm hook
2 skeins of very yummy merino wool
3 buttons
After it’s finished you might want to line the purse. I am not very good at sewing so if somebody has a good tutorial for lining a crocheted purse please let me know. I think this would also look very nice without the flap and a zip in it.
Alrighty here we go; the pattern:
ch 40
row 1: 1 hdc into every top loop of chain then without turning go around the other side and 1 hdc in every bottom loop of chain
no chains at the end of a row just keep going around and around untill your work has the desired height, mine is about 10cm high.
No you are going to make the flap:
sc in first 40ch of front of work to make a nicer edge and hdc in back of work turn work over
ch 2, 40 hdc turn over keep going untill you have 6 rows like this.
ch 2, 9 hdc, 2 ch (for button hole), 8 hdc, 2 ch (for buttonhole), 8 hdc, 2 ch(for buttonhole), 9 hdc
ch 2, 40 hdc
ch 1, then sc in every hdc around for nicer edge
Now sew your buttons on.
Taadaaa! The finished result. (Size is 26cm wide and 11.5cm high.)
Since I am not the greatest pattern writer please let me know if you see any mistakes or ways to discribe it better. I think I will sew some lining in mine and maybe make some pretty embroidery on the front but the plain one is rather nice too I think. And if you are going to have a go at this please leave a link in the comments section of this post so I can have a look at your purse/bag
this is a lovely tote and thanks for writing the pattern . I am going to try this soon but I don’t have wool here so I am just going to try with acrylic:) will post a pic as soon as I finish. I am not good with lining too but I am going to try to hand sew:)
Thank so much for your comment! I would love to see what you make maybe you want to join the group?
That is really cute, I love the lining too! It looks like you did a bang up job with it… and I LOVE the handle!
After my recent 96 Tears pain & suffering, not sewing up anything’s sides or back or tail or ends or tops or what have you sounds like it’s right up my alley… thanks for writing a pattern!

How do you do the handles on the big one?
I was also wondering how to do the big blue and white bag with the handles. I can’t seem to find a pattern for that. Really like the purses ^_^
