Materials Needed: Any type of yarn ( I used indophil 4ply – double pull to make it sturdy) 4mm hook (you can use smaller, depending on the type of yarn you’ll use) Stitch markers Yarn needle 2 buttons Canvas (optional)
Abbreviations: Ch – Chain Sc – Single Crochet Dc – Double Crochet St/Sts – Stitches Slp st – Slip stitch Front Panel
4 rows of single crochet
Row 1: Chain 48 + 1 then sc into the 2nd st from your hook, sc again to the next st up to the last st. Chain 1 and turn your work.
Row 2-4: Sc into the 1st st up to the last stitch. Chain 1 and turn your work. Repeat until Row 4.
Base color - BEIGE
Houndstooth 2nd color - WHITE stitch 3rd color - MINT GREEN 25 rows for front panel 4sc margin
Changing colors Row 5: Sc into the first 3 sts and for the 4th st, yarn over insert your hook into the st, yarn over pull through the loop (you now have two loops on your hook) tie the 2nd color into the current yarn that you are using then pull through two loops. To continue, do an sc into the next st, dc into the next st, sc into the next, dc into the next and repeat until there’s only 5 stitches left. For the 5th st to the last, make a dc but to finish off the dc, change colors using the base color you used into the last two loops then for the last 4 sts, do an sc. You can now cut off the white yarn. Chain 1 and turn your work. Note: Make sure to always begin with an sc after doing the 4sc margin and end up with dc before doing the last 4sc margin on the other side.
Row 6: Sc into the first 3 sts. For the 4th st, yarn over insert your hook into the st, yarn over pull through the loop (you now have two loops on your hook) tie the 3rd color into the base yarn that you are using then pull the 3rd color yarn into the two loops. To continue, do an sc into the next st, dc into the next sg, sc into the next, dc into the next and repeat until there’s only 5 stitches left. For the 5th st to the last, make a dc but to finish off the dc, change colors using the base color you used and pull through the last two loops to finish dc, then for the last 4 sts, do an sc. You can now cut off the 3rd color yarn. Chain 1 and turn your work.
Row 7-24: Repeat Row 5 and 6.
Row 25: Sc into the first 3 sts then change colors in the 4th st. Sc into the next sts until there are only 5 sts left. For the 5th st into the last, change the color back to the base color then sc until you reach the end of the row.
Back Panel
37 rows for back panel
Start the back panel by repeating the same process used in the front panel. You just need to add another 12 rows after reaching Row 24, then after adding 12 rows, repeat Row 25. After finishing Row 25, repeat Row 2 four times using the base color. Then cut off your yarn to finish.
STRAP
Count your front panel rows and
multiply it by 2, then add the number of your base stitches. Example, 25 rows x2 = 50 plus 48 base stitches for a total of 98.
Row 1: Chain 8+1, sc into the 2nd loop from your hook, sc again in the next and repeat until you reach the end of the row. Chain 1, turn your work. Row 2: Sc into the 1st st and into the next sts until the end of the row. Row 3 – 98: Repeat row 1-2.
This 98 rows is where we will attach the front and back panel. If you want it to become a handbag make an additional of 100 rows or more if you prefer a shoulder bag.
After finishing your strap, connect both ends using sc. To do, ch 1 and insert your hook into the first st of both ends, yarn over insert your hook into the loops, yarn over and pull through the loops, now you have 2 loops on your hook, yarn over and pull through both loops. Repeat until you reach the end and cut your yarn. CONNECTING FRONT PANEL AND BACK PANEL TO THE STRAP
LEFT SIDE
Start by counting 98 stitches into the strap, use a stitch mark to
the first stitch and last stitch (98th stitch) to know where you’ll begin and end later on.
To begin, always start to the left side when connecting front and back panel to the strap using sc. When you reach lower corners, insert your hook into the loops of the panel and strap then do an sc, insert your hook again to the same st of the panel where you put the previous sc and to the ‘next’ st of the strap next to the st where you did the previous sc. Then continue connecting until you reach the other corner wherein you’ll repeat the same process. Sc until you reach the last sts to connect.
Repeat the process of the connecting we did on the front panel to
the back panel. Make sure that you are connecting the same number of rows that we connected from the front to the back panel which is a total of 98. RECTANGULAR LOCKS
Cherry blossom flower
Rectangular lock
Tulip button stitch
Row 1 : Ch 7, sc into the 2nd loop from the hook, dc on the next st, sc, on the next, dc on the next and repeat until you reach the end of the row. Ch 1 and turn your work.
Row 2: Sc in the first st, dc to the next, ch 2 and skip 2 sts, sc to the next then dc to the last. Ch 1 and turn your work.
