Simple Crochet Round Bag

Fig 1

Hi,
Yesterday I made this simple crochet bag. The bag is designed so that any one who have newly started crocheting, should also be able to make it. Though it is easy to make and just for beginners, still it looks beautiful.

I made it in Canon one pound wool with red and cream colour with 5 mm crochet hook. You may use any 6 or 8 ply wool. It's final measurement is, 11" in diameter.

If you use our usual 4 ply yarn and 3 or 3,5 mm hook with same design, you may get beautiful bag but smaller in side.

Here we have made simple crochet belt for this bag but if you use any ready made wooden or metalic handle for the bag, it will look more beautiful. But in that case only linen should be stiff.

unsewed (open) with one part so that this joint should be at bottom of the bag. Sew other part also.

Then make 3 pendants of 27, 30 and 33 chains respectively, attach one bead at each end, tie the three and attach at the centre of the bag.

Similarly make 3 more pendants and attach to other side.
