Project 4: Fat Bottom Bag

Note: This post is long overdue.

If you've been reading my previous posts. I posted about my bag preference -- wide and spacious. After long hours of searching for a nice crochet bag pattern, I finally found one that's easy to do (beginner-friendly)


For the pattern, you can click here.

This project is a good practice for your half double crochet stitch (hdc) plus you'll be able to learn how to increase (v-stitch) and decrease stitches (hdc2tog). Now I'm working on altering this pattern to make a bigger version of this bag.

Things I used in this project are:
  • 7 skeins of Red Heart Medium Worsted Weight Yarn (shade 10) -- approx. 35 m per skein
  • 5.0 mm crochet hook
  • tan-colored cotton cloth for lining
  • sewing thread to match your lining cloth
  • yarn and sewing needles
  • stitch markers -- Why? Click here.
Reminders:

  1. Count all the stitches to avoid errors.
  2. Make sure you don't add additional chains when doing the single crochets on the edges of the bag.
All in all, this pattern is really worth a try! *thumbs up*
