Crochet string bag: fashion trend of the season. We knit beautiful and fashionable shopping bags Crochet string bags, description

I have already been asked several times on different resources how I knit string bags? And so I tried to film this process and explain how I do it, I don’t pretend to be the ultimate truth, it’s just that by the time I knitted the eighth string bag, I found, as it seems to me, the optimal size and tried to avoid all the pitfalls, and I share this with you!
I knitted my first string bag from what I had lying around in my bins, namely a single ball of “Lily” thread from PNK orange, Addie hook 2.5, it turned out to be a little big, now, during use, I take it with me when I understand that there will be a lot of purchases or they will be very voluminous, and I know for sure that it will include a bag of potatoes! True, at the same time she will hit me on the heels and her hands will mercilessly cut my hands, which is not good!
By the way, I knitted the handles in it the way I saw in most options on the Internet, i.e. tie the top with single crochets, then simply knit a chain of chain stitches of the required length, and in the next row there will be single crochets on it again! Here is a photo of these handles, you can see how they stretched out.

I also didn’t like how you can see the transitions from row to row on the French grid, so I filmed them here! Diagonally across the entire grid!

And even on the grid with double crochets, you can also see the transition, I tried to connect it while going back, it’s not so noticeable, but still visible!

And then I remembered that somewhere they advised when knitting fillet mesh not to walk in a circle, but to knit in turning rows, and this turned out to be the solution to the problem! The transition remains in one place, vertically, for example on its side, and is almost invisible, just like in this photo!

So, I start by making a chain of chain stitches of the required length, about 27 cm, then tie it in a circle with the stitches I want, about five cm.

After that, I start knitting a French mesh, casting on 4 ch, skipping 2 base loops, in the next row I attach it under the arch with a connecting post, so it seems to me that the yarn consumption is less, and therefore the string bag is lighter. The cells can be knitted in any size, it depends on the thickness of your yarn, but this seemed like a good size to me, the cells are neither small nor large, you don’t want to knit for a long time, but then nothing falls out of the string bag!

When I reach the desired height, which is about 27-30 cm, then I knit three to four rows of single crochets, picking them up under the arches 2-3 at a time, alternating, if you dial a lot of stitches, the top will be very wide, if not enough, then it will pull the top down and it will be awkward to put the purchases in, this is what happened to me with the first string bag, I unraveled and tied the top!

Well, and now the main thing, my version of the handles, I use connecting stitches to reach the right place and cast on 7-8 single crochets and knit as high as necessary so that the handles don’t interfere with opening the string bag, they turn out wide and don’t cut your hand, according to at least not very much, after all, it all depends on how many purchases are in the string bag!

Then I tie the handle to the top and again use connecting posts to reach the right place and repeat everything a second time! The handles are tied, not sewn, this makes them stronger and there is no need to tear the thread and look for a needle into the eye of which your threads will fit!)))

I don’t know about you, but I am an ENVIRONMENTAL fighter! And I love simple and natural things that don’t litter our world. And believe it or not, I hate bags and other bags (the handles break, you can’t put them on your shoulder, etc.), you can’t burn them or bury them after use.
In general, I have a lot of different sacks and bags of my own and imported production, which are quite economical and environmentally friendly to manufacture.
And I also suggest you knit a string bag, it doesn’t take up much space, it’s very roomy, and it won’t break at an unexpected moment.
While your child is frolicking on the playground and you are sitting on a bench or sunbathing at the sea, this time is quite enough to knit most of the bag. Who knits it differently... and maybe all of it. Good luck girls!

People started crocheting bags a long time ago. More our grandmothers went grocery shopping with such string bags. Nowadays it is very rare, but you will see a string bag on the street.

The most interesting thing is that with the spread of handmade, ordinary bags have become very popular and therefore more such fashionable bags will soon appear on the streets of the city. Moreover, it is more convenient to have something larger with you, just in case, in a small bag.

Thick yarn is suitable for knitting avosek, so as not to be afraid of spilling food, fruits or vegetables.

You can buy pekhorka. If in doubt, you can consult the seller.

Sample

One of the important stages of work, even for an experienced craftsman, is knitting a sample.

When choosing different yarn and hook, you will get products of different sizes and density.

How to crochet a fashionable string bag?

We wanted a string bag for ourselves, but not the old and boring model. And new and very creative. Then look further in the article and there are three models of very beautiful and fashionable string bags. Bright and very cute models, no one would exchange these for a package. Knitting is at the peak of popularity now.

Step-by-step description with diagrams

To quickly create this adorable pattern, you will need yarn, a hook and a couple of patterns. But there is already a description for the models. Therefore, nothing will distract the hero from fulfilling his dream bag. The most beautiful products are on this page, and they have a good description.

Emerald string bag

A very cute string bag model is a thick bag made of emerald-colored yarn. It should be knitted from the very bottom.

The work will require:

• emerald pekhorka yarn;
• hook number 3.

Measurements

It is better to change the dimensions of the handbag during the manufacturing process. But a small sample for a qualitative assessment of the loops and pattern of the fabric will not be superfluous.

According to the provided pattern, you need to knit the bottom for the string bag. To do this, cast on 5 loops and make 6 single crochets in them.

Next, knit in a circle and add 6 double crochets in each row; the stitches are marked with special loops so as not to get confused in the count.

Important! The amigurumi loop helps to avoid the appearance of a hole in the center of the circle when casting on and instead of 5 loops it is better to use such a mysterious loop.

Parties

Knit the bottom to the desired width. Then for the side parts, simply stop increasing and knit to the desired height. In this model, 10 rows are at the bottom, and 20 rows are at the height of the side walls.

Pens

This is the most interesting thing about this model. The juiciest part, as usual, is at the end of the product. It is very convenient that you do not need to sew them, but simply cast on a chain of 26 loops and knit 27 single crochets in the next row. In this case, it is better not to divide the loops, but simply knit stitches throughout the entire chain, threading the hook into a large loop of 26 air loops.

Important! Perform identical handles in symmetrical places.

At this point the product is finished and you can go shopping with it.

String bag with pineapple pattern

A very stylish and bright bag, you even forget its real purpose. For it, even rows of single crochet stitches are used. For the bottom, these are columns in a circle, and for the handles, these are already columns with decreases.

The work will require:

• yellow yarn;
• hook to thread size.

Measurements

The bag turns out to be no larger than an average package. But it's very comfortable. Since it has fairly wide handles and a cylinder shape. Pre-knit a small sample in order to skillfully calculate the number of loops.

Bottom

The product begins, like any classic model, from the bottom. To do this, use a bottom pattern with single crochet stitches. Make even columns with small increments, as noted in the diagram. For such a model, it is necessary to knit 10 rows (if you use a children's pekhorka).

Side

To do this, divide the whole circle into 4 parts. Start with one and in each row decrease by 2 stitches (one at the beginning and one at the end). When 7 loops remain, knit a handle for a length of no more than 20 rows of 7 stitches with one crochet in width. Do this for each element. But there should be only two handles out of 20 rows.

In the assembly you only need to sew one side of the handle with one of the 4 elements and the product is ready.

Mint colored string bag with mesh

The model is completed simply and very quickly. It uses a mesh pattern and therefore uses very little yarn.

The work will require:

• mint-colored yarn (you can use pekhorka);
• hook number 3.

Measurements

It is necessary to knit a small sample and measure the number of rapports. This is very important in order to assess what the bottom of the product should be.

Bottom

According to the given diagram, make the bottom for the handbag according to your dimensions. This wonderful product required only 20 cm.

Sides

This is a cylinder bag and therefore, after knitting the bottom, simply knit the mesh without any additions. Knit a height of about 30 cm and move on to the next, no less lovely pattern. These are single crochets. Very smooth, very dense and very popular. Then knit 2 rows according to the given pattern and then in the next circle, select the sides for the handles and first knit 25 air loops for them, and then knit stitches in them.

To make your hands look so delicious, you need to leave exactly 25 loops between the chain of air loops. So the handles themselves will be like small cutouts in a durable cylinder. Knit 6 more rows with single crochets in a circle and the bag is ready.

Anyone can make a very beautiful product. You don't need much for this. On average, such a handbag will require about 100-150 g of yarn. And it can be completed in one evening. Maybe you can’t drink tea, watch TV and knit things at the same time, but isn’t that what most knitters do? Therefore, do not rush to get rid of such a bad habit, but just do what you love.

MATERIALS

• Microfiber yarn “Diva”, it is very durable and has a beautiful shine (or nylon cord, it will be even stronger) -100 grams
• Hook - 2.5

READY SIZE

Approximately 43cm high x 28cm wide.

If it seems to you that the size of the bag is not large, then I can say that if desired, it could also fit a sack of potatoes, it stretches so much.

BOTTOM

We knit 6 air loops and close them into a ring.

Row 1: Knit 11 single crochet stitches and cast them into a ring.

Mark the first row of the next row using a removable stitch marker or just a paper clip.

Row 2: Make 2 single crochets in each stitch of the previous row. (22 single crochets)

Now you can remove the marker because now the end of the row will not be critical

Row 3: * 2 chain stitches 2, 1 slip stitch, repeat from * to end of row. (22 air loops)

Row4: * chain stitches 4, 1 connecting stitch in 2 chain stitches, repeat from * to the end of the row.

Row 5:* Chain 6, 1 connecting stitch in 4 chain stitches, repeat from * to the end of the row.

Row 6:* Chain 8 loops, 1 connecting stitch in 6 chain chains, repeat from * to the end of the row.

Bag

As you begin to knit, you may find that the bag looks more like a flat doily. But as you continue to knit, the bottom will begin to sag and eventually the napkin will actually become a pipe!

Repeat: *Chain 8 stitches, 1 stitch in 8 chain stitches, repeat with *, knit until the bag measures 40 cm from bottom to top edge.

PENS

Note. Mark the first stitch of the next row using a removable stitch marker. Move the marker to the beginning of each row to mark the first stitch of a new row

Row 1: We tie the air loops with single crochets. We tie the first cell of 8 chain stitches with 6 single crochets, and in the next cells with 7 single crochets (in total you should get 161 single crochets)

Row 2: single crochets in each stitch of the previous row

Row 3: 1 single crochet, a chain of 50 chain stitches, skip 25 stitches of the bottom row, 1 single crochet in 54 stitches of the bottom row, then knit 50 chain loops again and skip 25 stitches of the bottom row and knit single crochets to the end of the row.

Row 4: 1 single crochet in each stitch of the previous row, 50 single crochets in 50 chain stitches (bag handles) and so on until the end of the row.

Row 5: 1 double crochet in each stitch of the previous row (including bag handles)

Tie the last loop well into a knot and cut it off.

Wash and dry the finished bag! That's it, the shopping bag is ready!

In conclusion, I can say that the handles of the bag still need to be made wider by knitting a couple of additional rows, otherwise they will cut your hands.

Continuing the theme, check out the beautiful bag

Easy stitches and happy knitting!

Crochet a string bag

Knitted string bags that are fashionable these days are new, but in reality they turned out to be long-forgotten old. Yes, our parents also went shopping with comfortable bags, over time they were forgotten about, but now string bags are coming back and becoming incredibly fashionable! On the shelves of the capital's stores, string bags are sold for huge amounts of money! But we are needlewomen, and we can make this beauty ourselves.

To knit a compact shopping bag, which is called a string bag, we will need:

- a skein of synthetic yarn, preferably not too thick, approximately 300m/100g;

- a hook of a suitable diameter.

There are two ways to make crocheted string bags: starting knitting from a central point or from a strip. In any case, we will continue to knit the handbag in circles.

Now in details.

• If you decide to knit a string bag with a round bottom, you need to cast on five air loops and enclose them in a ring. Then knit at least 10 single crochets into the ring. Starting from the second row, you need to knit with arches consisting of air loops. In the second row of these loops there should be two in each arch, in the third - three, in the fourth - four, and so on until the arches have 8 loops. When you reach this size, continue to knit equal arches on each row. Transitions between rows are carried out using connecting loops along the wall of the next arch to its middle.

“Arch” pattern for crocheting a string bag:

You can use another pattern for knitting a string bag, it will make it stronger:

• If you start knitting from the central strip, then it needs to be strengthened with a couple of rows of single crochets, then continue to knit arches or double crochets, but without adding.

The arch pattern can be replaced with simple double crochets, knitted with one loop of the previous row between them. The string bag will not be so lacy, but it will also keep its shape perfectly.

Once you see that the height of your handbag is ideal, it's time to start decorating. To do this, tie the last row of the string bag with simple single crochets. Visually divide the bag entrance ring into 4 parts, mark all four points with pins and start knitting the handles. It's simple: when you reach a pin, knit a chain of chain stitches, it should be slightly longer than the distance to the next pin. Then use a connecting stitch to tie the chain to the mark on the bag and continue to single crochet the row until the next pin. Knit the second handle in the same way.

The next row is single crochets. At the end of the knitting, fasten the thread, cut it and hide it.

Want to make your handbag unique? Then, to knit its bottom, you can use any napkin knitting pattern as a base. Having reached the required diameter, continue knitting the arches without adding to the height of the bag you like.

The finished string bag can be decorated with a satin ribbon tied with a flower. And if you take sectionally colored yarn, then you will get knitted string bags even without additional decorations.

So, you have crocheted a string bag!
