Crochet Bag in 3 Different Shapes, Bag with Granny Squares

 

Hello friends,

Here I present a Hand bag made with only five granny squares and the interesting thing is you can use it in three different shapes which look very very cute. Look at the above photo, these three different shapes can be given by five simple granny squares.  In the video below, I have shown that how you can give such different shapes to the granny squares bag

It's width is 10" height 8" and weight 60 gms.

I used 4 ply yarn in USA, so though it is 4 ply it's soft and thick than our Vardhaman Millenium.  Start with Ggreen yarn,

R1: dc12 in magic loop, cl (12) (First dc means ch3).

Join Yellow yarn at any st.

R2: (4dc-puff, ch2) in each st, cl. (Out of ch2, ch1 to fix puff and ch1 in between).

R3: (6dc-puff in ch1-sp, ch3) 12 times, cl. BO.

Join Green yarn in ch3-sp.

R4: (tr3, ch3, tr3), (ch1, dc3 in ch3-sp) 2 times, ch1] 4 times, cl.

Sl st 3 and reach ch3-sp of corner.

R5: [(dc3, ch2, dc3) at corner, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp) 3 times, ch1] 4 times, cl. BO. 

Make such 5 granny squares.

Sew two granny squares to each other by tapestry needle taking only outer thread of stitch (V). Join 5 grannies as shown in video.  Four to make a round and fifth at base. Join same yarn at the back side.

R1: Make sc1 in back loop of each st. (approximately 84-86 sts)

R2, R3: ch1, sc1 in each sts (not in back loop this time)

Now for a belt we start from the middle of granny square, place marker there skip 21 sts and place other marker.

R4: sc1 at marker, ch 25, sc1 at second marker. Sc 1 in 23 sts, ch25 for other side belt, sc1 in remaining 23 sts, chs 25 skip 22 sts, sc1 on next 23 sts of side 

R5: sc1 on each sc-st, sc1 on each ch till corner then before 2 sts to corner, insert hook in next st, YO get one st, skip next st, insert in next st on belt, YO and pass through all 3 sts (actually 2sctog skipping middle st), then sc 1 in each st on belt. Similarly other side.

Make 2 more rounds in the same manner.

The beautiful bag is ready.
