Takeaways

• 😀 The project involves creating a small crochet bag using basic crochet techniques like chain stitches and double crochet.
• 😀 A darker shade of yarn is recommended, with the option to use a 2.5mm crochet hook for tight stitches.
• 😀 The size of the bag can be customized based on personal preference, with the example size allowing room for a phone and a lipstick.
• 😀 To begin, chain 24 stitches, then work double crochet into each stitch, with the pattern repeating through subsequent rows.
• 😀 After completing the desired length (35 rows in the example), fold the piece and begin forming the flap for closing the bag.
• 😀 The flap is created by decreasing the stitch count, starting with a chain of 3 and working double crochet in the next stitches, merging them together at the end of each row.
• 😀 To create a buttonhole, leave four stitches at the center of the flap and create a small chain loop to match the button size.
• 😀 The bag is finished by adding a decorative border around the edges using a three-chain loop and single crochet between the loops.
• 😀 The bag's straps are made by creating a long chain and then working double crochet stitches through it, forming a textured edge.

• 😀 Finally, the bag is assembled, the button is attached, and any loose threads are tucked away for a clean look, completing the crochet bag project.

Q & A

What materials are required to make the crochet purse?

You will need yarn (label 1.75 mm), a crochet hook (size 2.5 mm), a button (either playful for children or more sophisticated for adults), and scissors to cut the yarn.

How many foundation chains should be made to start the purse?

The foundation chain should consist of 24 chains. This is the base length for the purse, but you can adjust the number of chains depending on the desired size.

What type of stitches are used in the body of the purse?

The body of the purse is made using double crochet stitches (ponto alto) throughout the rows.

How many rows should be worked to complete the purse body?

The purse body should consist of 35 rows, but you can adjust the number of rows depending on the size you need for your purse.

How do you create the flap for the purse?

To create the flap, decrease stitches by working medium double crochets (ponto médio alto), leaving stitches on the hook and then pulling them together. Continue decreasing until only 8 stitches remain in the row.

What is the method for making the buttonhole in the purse?

To make the buttonhole, chain 4 and leave 4 chains unworked in the base, then crochet 4 double crochets into the remaining stitches. This creates the space where the button will fit.

How do you finish the top of the purse after the flap is created?

To finish the top, crochet around the flap, reinforcing the edges with double crochet stitches. This will ensure the top is sturdy and provides a clean finish.

How should the sides of the purse be assembled?

The sides of the purse should be folded in and stitched together using a whip stitch or slip stitches, ensuring the seams are neat and secure.

How do you make the handle for the crochet purse?

To make the handle, crochet a chain of the desired length. Once the handle is completed, attach it securely to the sides of the purse at the point where the base and flap meet.

What should be considered when adding the button to the purse?

When attaching the button, ensure it aligns with the buttonhole. Sew the button tightly to ensure it stays in place when the purse is used.
