It has a blunt tip and a large eye.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scissors:<\/strong> Any sharp pair of scissors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stitch Marker (Optional but Recommended):<\/strong> Incredibly helpful for marking the first stitch in each round, especially when working the base in a continuous spiral.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"838\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com-1-3-838x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1369\" style=\"width:960px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com-1-3-838x1024.jpg 838w, https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com-1-3-245x300.jpg 245w, https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com-1-3-768x939.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com-1-3.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-let-s-diy-your-crochet-tote-bag\">Let&#8217;s DIY Your Crochet Tote Bag!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll build this bag from the bottom up: starting with a strong oval base, then working the body of the bag upwards, and finally adding simple, integrated handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-1-the-oval-base\">Part 1: The Oval Base<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll begin by creating a flat, sturdy oval shape that forms the bottom of your tote bag. This is achieved by working single crochet stitches around a starting chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Starting Chain:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Make a <strong>slip knot<\/strong> with your yarn and place it onto your H\/5.0mm crochet hook.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chain (ch) 21.<\/strong> (This chain length determines the initial width of your bag. If you want a wider or narrower bag, adjust this chain. It&#8217;s best if it&#8217;s an <strong>odd number<\/strong> for this pattern.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 1 (Working around the chain):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work <strong>2 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> stitches into the <strong>2nd chain from your hook<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>(Optional: Place your stitch marker in the first sc you just made. This will be the first stitch of your round for tracking.)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 18 chains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>last chain<\/strong> (the 21st chain from your hook): Work <strong>4 sc<\/strong> into this single chain. This creates a neat turn around the end of your chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Now, work back down the other side of your starting chain, crocheting into the bottom loops (the unworked loops) of each chain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 18 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>last stitch<\/strong> (this will be the same chain where you placed your very first 2 sc): Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into this chain. This finishes turning the other corner.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should now have a total of <strong>44 sc stitches<\/strong> (2 + 18 + 4 + 18 + 2 = 44). <strong>Do NOT join with a slip stitch yet.<\/strong> For the base, you&#8217;ll work in continuous rounds (spirals) to avoid a visible seam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 2 (Continuing the Oval Shape):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into the first stitch of the round (this is the stitch marked by your stitch marker).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>(If using, move your stitch marker to this new first sc of the round.)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into the next stitch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 18 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 3 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 18 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 2 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should now have <strong>50 sc stitches<\/strong>. Continue working in continuous rounds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Round 3 (Final Base Round):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into the first stitch of the round (where your stitch marker is).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>(If using, move your stitch marker to this new first sc of the round.)<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into the next 2 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 18 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 3 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 2 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 18 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>2 sc<\/strong> into each of the next 2 stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You should now have <strong>56 sc stitches<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stop here!<\/strong> When you finish the last sc of this round, <strong>remove your stitch marker.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slip stitch (sl st)<\/strong> into the first sc of this round to join. This completes your oval base neatly and prepares you for working straight up the sides of the bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-2-building-the-body-of-the-bag\">Part 2: Building the Body of the Bag<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, you&#8217;ll work straight up the sides of the bag using a combination of single crochet and half double crochet stitches. You&#8217;ll work in joined rounds to maintain a neat seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round 4 (First Side Round &#8211; Defining the Edge):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chain 1 (ch 1 \u2013 this does <strong>NOT<\/strong> count as a stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> into the <strong>back loop only (BLO)<\/strong> of each stitch around the entire round. (56 sc)\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Why BLO?<\/strong> Working into the back loop creates a distinct, visible ridge that helps the bag&#8217;s sides stand up straight from the base, giving it a crisp, defined corner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slip stitch (sl st)<\/strong> into the first sc to join the round.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rounds 5 and Onwards (Body Height &#8211; using Half Double Crochet):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Chain 2 (ch 2 \u2013 this counts as your first <strong>half double crochet (hdc)<\/strong> of the round).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>1 hdc<\/strong> into each stitch around the round. (56 hdc)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Slip stitch (sl st)<\/strong> into the top of the beginning ch 2 (the second chain in your starting chain-2) to join the round.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat this round (working 1 hdc in each stitch around) until your bag reaches your desired height. For the approximate dimensions given, this will be about <strong>18-22 more rounds<\/strong> (for a total of 22-26 rounds for the body, including Round 4).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The height is a personal preference. Hold it up as you go and see if you like the look. The hdc stitch works up faster than sc, which is great for a bag body!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com_-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com_-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com_-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com_-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com_-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/crochettv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/crochettech.com_-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-part-3-creating-the-handles\">Part 3: Creating the Handles<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The handles will extend directly from the top of your bag, using simple single crochet stitches for a consistent and sturdy finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Round for Handle Placement:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After your last body round, chain 1 (ch 1 \u2013 this does not count as a stitch).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Work <strong>8 single crochet (sc)<\/strong> stitches.

You&#8217;ll have at least two tails: one from your starting chain and one from the final fasten-off at the handle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use your <strong>yarn needle<\/strong> to meticulously weave in <em>every loose yarn tail<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>How to Weave Neatly:<\/strong> Thread the yarn tail onto your yarn needle. Weave the tail into the stitches of your bag, going in one direction for at least 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm). To truly secure it, subtly change direction (e.g., weave along a stitch, then turn and weave back through some of the same stitches diagonally or perpendicularly) to &#8220;lock&#8221; the tail in place and prevent it from unraveling. Trim any excess yarn close to the fabric, being careful not to cut any of your actual stitches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Blocking (Optional):<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blocking can significantly improve the shape of your bag, even out any tension inconsistencies, and give it a more polished, professional look. It helps the bag stand up nicely.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Method:<\/strong> Gently mist the bag evenly with cool water using a spray bottle until it&#8217;s damp but not soaking wet. Stuff the bag lightly with tissue paper, old t-shirts, or a small towel to help it hold its intended shape (especially the corners and handles). Allow the bag to air dry completely and thoroughly in a well-ventilated area. This might take a day or two.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional: Add a Fabric Lining:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For extra durability and to prevent small items from slipping through the stitches (especially if your tension is looser), consider adding a fabric lining. This involves basic sewing. Measure the finished dimensions of your crocheted bag. Cut fabric pieces slightly larger, sew them into a matching pouch, and then hand-stitch or machine-stitch it inside your crocheted bag.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations!
