If you’ve been looking for a fun and trendy crochet project, this tutorial is for you! In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to crochet a stylish bag using a new and unique stitch that adds both texture and durability. Perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike!

Materials You’ll Need

Yarn:

• Medium weight (Category 4) cotton yarn – 2–3 skeins (choose your favorite color)
  Tip: Cotton yarn gives the bag structure and helps it hold its shape.

Hook:

• 4.0 mm or 4.5 mm crochet hook (check your yarn label for recommendation)

Other Tools:

• Yarn needle (for weaving ends)

• Scissors

• Stitch markers (optional but helpful)

• Bag handles or leather straps (optional – can also crochet straps)

✨ The Unique Stitch: “Twisted Puff Stitch”

This project features the Twisted Puff Stitch, a variation of the regular puff stitch that creates a beautiful diagonal texture — perfect for handbags!

How to Crochet the Twisted Puff Stitch:

1. Yarn over (YO) and insert your hook into the stitch.

2. YO and pull up a loop, repeat this 3 more times (you should have 9 loops on your hook).

3. YO and pull through all loops on your hook.

4. Chain 1 to secure the puff.

5. For the twist effect, in the next round, place your puff stitches between the previous puffs instead of directly on top.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Base of the Bag

1. Start with a chain foundation — about 35 chains (adjust length depending on the size you want).

2. In the second chain from hook, make 1 single crochet (SC).

3. Continue making SC across the chain.

4. When you reach the last stitch, make 3 SC in the same stitch to turn the corner.

5. Now work along the other side of the chain, making SC in each stitch.

6. Join with a slip stitch (SL ST) to the first SC.

7. Continue working in rounds, adding increases at the corners until you reach the desired oval or rectangular base.

Step 2: Build the Body of the Bag

1. Once the base is complete, start working in the round without increasing.

2. Crochet 1 round of single crochet to create a firm foundation for the stitch pattern.

3. Begin your Twisted Puff Stitch pattern:

   • Round 1: [Twisted Puff Stitch, skip 1 stitch, SC in next] — repeat around.

   • Round 2: Place puffs between previous puffs to form the twist effect.

4. Continue working in rounds until the bag reaches your desired height (about 25–30 cm for a medium bag).

Step 3: Create the Top Edge

1. Once you’ve finished the body, crochet 2–3 rounds of single crochet to give the edge a clean, sturdy finish.

2. If you want a drawstring or handles, skip 2 stitches every few spaces in the top round to create small holes.

Step 4: Add Handles or Straps

Option 1: Crochet handles

• Chain about 60 stitches, attach each end to opposite sides of the bag with slip stitches or sew them securely.

Option 2: Leather or pre-made straps

• Attach using metal rings or by sewing them directly to the edge.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

• Weave in all yarn ends using your yarn needle.

• Optionally, line the inside of the bag with fabric to reinforce it (use a simple hand stitch or fabric glue).

• Add a button, magnetic clasp, or zipper for closure.

Tips for Beginners

• Keep your tension even — not too tight or too loose.

• Practice the Twisted Puff Stitch on a small swatch before starting the bag.

• Use a stitch marker to mark the beginning of each round.

• For extra stiffness, consider using a yarn blend with polyester or adding a thin layer of interfacing inside the lining.

Design Variations

• Color block style: Change yarn colors halfway through for a trendy look.

• Mini version: Stop after fewer rounds for a cute handbag.

• Tote style: Make the base longer and add wider handles.

• Crossbody: Attach a long strap and small button closure.
