The Crochet Pattern
Bag Body
- Round 1: Create a magic ring. Work 6 sc into the ring. (6 stitches)
- Round 2: Work 2 sc in each stitch around (increase in each stitch). (12 stitches)
- Round 3: Sc in the first stitch, inc in the next stitch. Repeat around. (18 stitches)
- Round 4: Sc in the next 2 stitches, inc in the next stitch. Repeat around. (24 stitches)
- Round 5: Sc in the next 3 stitches, inc in the next stitch. Repeat around. (30 stitches)
- Rounds 6–19: Work 14 rounds of sc in each stitch (1 sc in each stitch around — no increases). Remember to mark the first stitch of each round with a stitch marker to keep track. (30 stitches per round)
- Finish off: After completing the final regular round, in the next stitch, make 1 sl st. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for weaving in.
- Weave the Tail: Use a tapestry needle to weave the tail into the stitches to secure it and avoid unraveling. Trim any excess yarn.
Decoration with Ribbon
- Cut a piece of thin ribbon in your desired length (around 30–35 cm is recommended). You can choose contrasting colors for a more dynamic look.
- Thread the ribbon through a tapestry needle. Decide which round of your bag (near the top) will be used for the decoration.
- Starting from the front, insert the needle and pull the ribbon through the stitches, skipping 1–2 stitches at a time as you weave around the circumference of the bag.
- Adjust the ribbon length at the front to ensure both ends are equal, leaving enough length for tying a bow.
- Once the ribbon is woven around the bag, tie a small bow at the front center of the bag. Trim any excess ribbon for a neat finish.
Assembly
- Stuff the Bag: If using the bag for decorative purposes, fill it with a bit of fiberfill, organza, or tulle for volume. If you’re using it as a favor bag for candies or confetti, place them inside instead.
- Secure the Opening: Once you’ve filled the bag, use the ribbon to tightly close the opening and tie a bow at the top.
