Welcome to a new video! Today we'll be making a simple and easy bag together, and the result will be amazing!
If this is your first time watching this channel, it's Princess Made Crochet, and my name is Menna. Don't forget to subscribe, and let's get started!
I used 300 grams of polyester yarn, 3 mm thick, and a size 4.5 mm needle. I started by making a slip knot and chaining 39 stitches. This is the front of the chain; I won't work on it. I'll turn the chain over and find loops. I'll skip the first loop and work from the second loop. I'll work 38 single crochet stitches. That's it for the first row! 38 single crochet stitches.
I'll chain one and start the second row. All my work from here until I finish the body of the bag will be in the back loops. Here and here, I'll work 17 single crochet stitches in the back loops. That's it for the 17 single crochet stitches. I'll start increasing in these four stitches. The first stitch I'll work in is a double increase, meaning I'll work two single crochet stitches in the same stitch. The next stitch will be a triple increase, meaning I'll work three single crochet stitches in the same stitch. The next stitch will be a triple increase, meaning I'll work three single crochet stitches in the same stitch. The stitch after that will be a double increase, meaning I'll work two single crochet stitches in the same stitch. It will look like this. I'll have 17 stitches left in the row. I'll work 17 single crochet stitches in the back loops. The total number of stitches in the row will be 44.
I'll chain one and go to the next row. In this row, I'll work 44 single crochet stitches in the back loops. I'm not working any increases at all; I'm just working one stitch over each stitch. I've finished 44 single crochet stitches in the back loops.
I'll chain one and go to the new row. The first thing I'll do is... 20 single crochet stitches in the back loops, then I will work an increase in these four stitches. The first stitch I'll work in is a double increase, meaning I'll make two single crochet stitches in the same stitch. The next stitch I'll work is a triple increase, meaning I'll make three single crochet stitches in the same stitch. The next stitch I'll work is a triple increase, meaning I'll make three single crochet stitches in the same stitch. The next stitch I'll work is a double increase, meaning I'll make two single crochet stitches in the same stitch. I'll have 20 stitches left in the row. I'll work 20 single crochet stitches in the back loops, making a total of 50 stitches.
At this point, I won't work any more increases. All I'll do next is chain one and work 50 single crochet stitches in the back loops (work one stitch over each stitch). When I've finished all 50 single crochet stitches in the back loops, I'll chain one and work 50 stitches in the next row. I'll work 50 single crochet stitches in the back loops until I reach my desired width. This row will be considered two rows: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26.
I'll chain one and move to the next row. The first thing I'll do is work 20 single crochet stitches in the back loops. Then I'll work decreases. First, I'll decrease two stitches into one stitch by inserting a loop into the back loop of that stitch and then the back loop of the next stitch. Then I'll pull the yarn through the loops on the hook. Next, I'll decrease these three stitches into one stitch by inserting a loop into the back loop of all three stitches and then pulling the yarn through all the loops on the hook. Next, decrease these three stitches into one stitch. Insert a yarn over into the back loop of each of the three stitches, then pull a yarn over from each loop on the hook. Next, decrease two stitches into one stitch. Insert a yarn over into the back loop of this stitch and the back loop of the next stitch, then pull a yarn over from each loop on the hook. Next, work 20 single crochet stitches in the back loops until the end of the row. You'll notice the side starts to narrow. That's the end of the row.
Chain 1 and go to the next row. In this row, work a hold on the stitches of the previous row, meaning you'll work exactly 44 single crochet stitches in the back loops, one stitch above each stitch. That's the end of the row.
Chain 1 and go to the next row. First, work 17 single crochet stitches in the back loops. Then, begin decreasing. I'll decrease two stitches into one, then decrease these three stitches into one. Next, decrease the next three stitches into one. Then, decrease the following two stitches into one. The side will then be closed. Next, work 17 single crochet stitches in the back loops. Finish the row.
Chain one and work the last row. Work exactly 38 single crochet stitches in the back loops. The bag's width is 22 cm; this will be the front of the bag. I'll turn it over so the back is where the yarn ends are. Then I'll start closing the sides. I haven't cut the yarn yet.
I'll make a chain stitch for the height. Then I'll go into the first stitch on the side under the two loops, and then into the first stitch on the opposite side under the two loops. I'll pull up the yarn and make a single crochet. I'll go under the two loops in the next stitch, and then into the stitch before it under the two loops. I'll pull up the yarn and make a single crochet. This is how I close the side. I'll go into the next stitch under the two loops, and then into the stitch before it under the two loops. I'll make a single crochet. I'll continue working in this way until I finish the whole side. To close the side, I'll make a chain stitch to secure it, then cut the yarn and clean up any excess yarn under the stitches. I've closed the first side.
I'll close the second side in the same way, but I'll close it... From underneath, so that the single crochet stitches are in the same direction on both sides. I went under the last two loops on the side opposite each other, pulled up a yarn and made a chain stitch. Then, in the same way I closed the side opposite, I went into the next stitch under the two loops on the opposite side, pulled up a yarn and made a single crochet stitch. I continued working in this way until I closed the whole side.
Having finished closing both sides, I turned the bag right side out, at the side where I closed it. I went in with the needle, pulled up a yarn and made a chain stitch. I started closing the front of the bag with single crochet stitches, going in front of each row and making its single crochet stitch. I closed the whole turn of the bag with single crochet stitches. I closed the whole turn of the bag with single crochet stitches. This is the chain stitch we made. I left it and went straight to the first single crochet stitch I made and made a slip stitch into the loop.
The back loop and the first stitch are where I'll put a mark. The next round will all be slip stitches in the back loops. I go into the back loop, pull the yarn through, and pull it through the loop on the needle. I'll keep working like this until I reach the mark. Once I reach the mark, I'll undo it. The last round of the bag will be slip stitches in the back loops. For the last stitch in the bag that I didn't make, I'll break the yarn and make the last stitch. I'll leave this stitch and go to the next one that had the mark. I'll go under the two loops and pull the yarn through. Then I'll go back to the stitch where the yarn came out, go inside it, and pull the yarn through. I'll clean any excess yarn under the stitches.
This is one of the best and easiest bags you'll make. It doesn't take any time at all, and the result is amazing.
