Easy Crochet Slouch Bag
I don’t have enough concentration to pay close attention to a crochet pattern so I just kind of winged this project and I’m really pleased with how it turned out.
Materials Needed
- 1 Skein of chunky yarn
- Crochet Hook (Lion Brand Size Q-19 – 15 mm)
- Tapestry Finishing Needle
- Scissors
Directions
Start with a chain twice as long as you want the base of your bag. (my base is approximately 18 inches long) Depending on the yarn weight, you may chain a few more or less than I did.
Crochet a loose rectangle about 9-10 inches tall. I did about 8 rows using the basic double crochet stitch.
Make a handle by starting on one side and doing 4 double crochet stitches and then turning. I did about 16 rows of 4 dc and then used a single crochet stitch to attach the handle to the opposite side.
Use your tapestry needle to sew in the loose edges.
Is this slouch bag perfect? Nope! Not even close! But am I happy with it? Yes! Now I can add my next project and carry it from one room to the next in style! This is a fun way to transport books, snacks or maybe even some maps!
