A bag will never be superfluous in a household. Stylish items, from a clutch to a large shopping bag, can be made yourself, thereby making a double contribution to the environment. By having knitted bags, you protect the four-legged inhabitants of the planet, whose skins are used by the leather industry. By making a string bag with your own hands, you save yourself from the need to purchase plastic bags, which do not rot and remain in landfills forever. And you can knit a bag so that it looks expensive and beautiful. The main thing is to know how to do it.

If you need the bag to stretch well and take the shape of the objects that will have to be carried in it, then it is better to knit it. Many patterns designed for clothing and hats look great on bags. This year's trend is “aranes” - intertwining patterns that can decorate a theatrical handbag or reticule. Needlewomen can’t wait to show off their creations on the Internet, and we have the opportunity to see the most interesting pictures of these works.

The vast majority of bag models are crocheted. This allows you to maintain a certain shape and attach handles, flaps, and decorations to the “body” of the bag. The bag can be made mesh or thick. And if you make additional decorations, the product will become unique. Originality and originality, completeness of the image - these are the signs of a bag made by a real craftswoman.

Crochet bags

Using crochet crochet you can make a small children's bag and a huge string bag for going to the hypermarket. Knitting a bag will not take much time if the pattern is simple. Using bright threads will avoid complex knitting of the bag. It is convenient to use ready-made handles, which are made from rigid rings, take a clasp and handles from an old bag and tie everything together. This will serve as the beginning of the thing, and you will have to knit it from top to bottom.

A great idea is to knit the bag with openwork fabric and insert a thick cover in a matching or contrasting color. You can give a second life to an old bag by tying it with a lace pattern. The new texture will hide the worn sides of your favorite accessory and return it to the category of wearable items. And it’s even more pleasant that it was done with your own hands.

How to knit a bag with knitting needles - lessons for beginners

To knit a bag of the simplest design with knitting needles, it is enough to know how to knit a solid fabric. You can make a rectangular panel, sew it on the sides like a bag, and attach a strap as a handle. The strap can also be knitted. Knitted bags look good in a similar design if their pattern looks the same in the normal and upside down position. If the ornament does not have symmetry along the horizontal axis, then it is better to knit two panels and connect them with a knitted seam.

Knitted bags with large threads are well decorated with a threaded ribbon or lace in a contrasting color. Decorate the top well with a zipper, sewing it in on a machine. You can also make a flap that closes the zipper at the top. It’s a good idea to attach fasteners to it - straps with buckles, Velcro, magnets, etc. If at home it is impossible to add similar details to knitted bags, then you can contact a specialized workshop for such modifications.

Patterns and descriptions for knitting bags

Knitted bags are stylish attributes for every occasion. A thing that is perfectly made with your own hands will look especially good. You can learn how to knit a bag using video tutorials. First, you need to choose a small model in order to quickly see the finished result of your own labor. We are ready to analyze some successful ideas with you.

It is convenient to crochet such a bag. The base is a “granny square”, which is knitted from the center. They need to be knitted in 13 pieces. The colors of the thread change from the center to the edges of the squares. To connect the parts, you can use a single crochet, but in this model, each square is tied with double crochets, and with a thread that will then be used for joining. The knitted squares are tied together using half-columns or single crochets. Due to the fact that each element is tied with a contrasting thread, the connections are accentuated, giving the bag expressiveness. The handles are knitted from three rows of double crochets and tied on both sides with the same thread as the connections between the squares. This bag looks like it is embroidered with beads.

Knitted bags with flowers are very feminine accessories. You can make an applique of different colors on identical bag models, and then each item will turn out unique. The handbag is knitted starting with a chain of 40 stitches. It needs to be knitted in the round. The chain does not close in a circle, so the canvas will turn out oval. At turns, you need to add a minimum of columns - from 2 to 4 - to make it look like a boat. When the bag reaches the desired height, close the rows and tie a handle on one side, throwing it over to the other side and attaching it with half-columns. A valve or lid should be knitted on one side of the bag. It should widen slightly towards the bottom, but end in a semicircle. Daisies are made along the edges of the lid. Each flower is knitted in a separate piece. The middle can be made into an amigurumi ring or knitted into a chain and tied with double crochets. The petals begin with a chain of 8 loops, along which you need to “return” to the middle by knitting double crochets and half-stitches - one each in the 5th, 4th, 3rd, 2nd and 1st chain loops. Each chamomile has 8 petals, but the flowers themselves need 7.

Knitting a bag using only threads may seem boring. Decorating an accessory with leather inserts (or leatherette) is a great idea that will forever take your creation away from the “handicraft” category. The rich mesh texture of the front and back walls also adds style to the bag. It is made with a complex pattern using double crochets and embossed ones. The sides are knitted in double crochet stitches, and the top part is done in the same way. It’s good to thread a thin leather strap into a similar pattern, which will also become handles. To prevent the bag from fraying ahead of time and from being worn out by the strap, it is good to insert metal rings - eyelets - into the knitting, and thread the strap through them. The flap is knitted from the back wall of the bag. A chain of 20–22 loops is knitted in the center. It is tied with double crochets until it reaches the desired size. A rounding is made on the outside of the chain, so the columns will have to be added in a fan pattern. The leather buckle on the flap and similar parts on the sides must be secured with rivets. There is no shame in contacting a metal repair shop for this.

Knitted bags are also suitable for going to the theater. Using this pattern, you can make accessories of different sizes - a clutch bag, a cosmetic bag and a wallet. You can present such a set to a friend or relative for any significant date. Depending on the size of the accessory, we knit a chain air loops. Knitting a bag, cosmetic bag and wallet starts from the bottom. Without closing it in a circle, we tie the chain with double crochets. We get the base part, which can be plain. You need to knit through the post lush columns in a checkerboard pattern with melange thread of bright colors. This will create a mosaic effect. The top is knitted in five rows of single crochet stitches and tied in a crab step. The zipper is inserted by machine.

Knitting bags from strong threads for household needs is rewarding work. Not a single plastic T-shirt bag can compare with such an accessory in terms of strength. The reusable bag is made with a thick bottom. To make it powerful, it should be knitted from a chain in single crochet or single crochet stitches. You don't have to change the color on the bottom. Openwork pattern side surfaces are simple. It decorates and lightens the bag at the same time. You need to knit an openwork row with three lifting loops. Having skipped two columns of the previous row, we knit two double crochets from the third, connecting them with one loop, go down in a chain of three loops, skipping two columns of the bottom row, and knit a connecting column into the third. We knit the next openwork row like this: three lifting air loops, two more loops, a connecting stitch into the loop where the stitches of the lower openwork row meet, then two loops and a double crochet into the connecting stitch of the bottom row. On top of two openwork rows, a regular row of double crochets is performed. Each first openwork row can be knitted with white threads. The second openwork and dense row is colored. These colors can be alternated. The color scheme can be any you like. We knit the upper part of the bag with single crochets. Handles - double crochets. The wider the handles of a knitted bag, the less your hands will hurt when carrying a heavy load. It is better to make the handles and top of the bag the same color as the bottom to create a complete design.

Video tutorials on knitting bags

Knitting a bag of any type will be clearer if you watch the video tutorial. You can knit by watching the video in parts. Watch a video series that tells and shows how knitted bags are made - the preferred option for lessons for beginner knitters. A simple bag with a minimum of details - perfect choice. Knitting such a thing is simple and quick. At the same time, you will be able to master different knitting or crocheting techniques so that you can use them in the future to knit a bag of a more complex model. In addition, it is worth practicing making laces, pompoms and tassels, because they will be useful for ethnic versions of the bag. With such a knapsack, you can place alternating tassels and pom-poms along the bottom, and tie flowers near the handles for decoration. These elements have to be knitted separately and then sewn on. So it’s worth taking advantage of knitting master classes bulk napkins, where similar decorations are often used.

Ethnic bag, knitted, good with a Scandinavian pattern theme. These have been fashionable for many years now: deer and snowflakes, and abstract northern ornaments. It is enough to transfer this pattern to knitting and select suitable threads.

Knitted bags with “aranas” can also be made with the pattern transferred from a sweater or snood. The main thing is to use part of the pattern used for flat parts - back, front, scarf, etc. The field for creativity is large, and you need to learn how to use it correctly in order to become the owner of a unique bag.

If previously crocheted bags were relatively rare, in recent years the fashion has changed. Nowadays, many catwalks are firmly occupied by hand-knitted items, especially for jewelry and bags. Now the trend is a simple beach bag, a sack bag, a bag, a mochila, and so on. Crochet bags made of thick acrylic are very popular for every day. Knitted bags should not stretch much - it is better to crochet them using thick yarn and a hook that is not too thick. A DIY crocheted bag with patterns is a great option for the summer.

How to crochet a bag? The first master class with a description is designed for those who are not very good at crocheting. A crocheted beach bag for beginners, in which the openwork stripe is repeated all the time - it’s not at all difficult. This crocheted bag made of yarn with acrylic in a simple style resembles mochila in its shape. This summer crochet beach bag can be carried in your hand or slung over your shoulder.

To work you will need:

1. Yarn 100% acrylic (100 m / 50 g) - 100 g each. blue, yellow and white.
2. Hook 4.5 mm thick.
3. Rope 95 cm long, 0.9 - 1 cm thick.

Cotton is also suitable for a summer handbag, but acrylic yarn is much lighter and cheaper. We take the knitting density: 18 p. / 7 r. equals 10/10 cm. We knit alternately all the time: with yellow, white, and blue yarn.

Half column (PST): knit 1st r. VP, then we start with the 2nd row. insert the hook only at the rear. walls of section 1 of the river Each row begins with 2 VP lifts and ends with one half-column. in the second VP of the rise of the previous river.

Main (main) pattern:
The number of loops should be divisible by 5, plus two edge loops. Let's look at the diagram: repeating rapport of 6 points. Start with VP and end with it. We do it once from the first to the fourth rows, then repeat the 3rd and 4th rows. And then just knit the pattern with the 3rd and 4th rows.

Crochet bags are usually crocheted like this: first the bottom of the bag, then the top. It is better to knit from strong twine or nylon thread: this way the bottom will be solid and stronger. You can knit this pattern:

Or like this:

Or any structural one. We begin to knit the bottom with yellow yarn from a chain of 18 VP and 2 VP rises. To make the shape of the bottom beautiful, add 1 PST on both sides at a distance of 2 cm from each other. The total should be 22 sts. We knit with a pattern of 33 cm. Next, after 33 cm from the beginning of knitting, decrease 1 pst on both sides in two rows. As a result, 18 stitches should remain. We finish the bottom 38 cm from the beginning of knitting.

You can make a semicircular bottom like this in a circular row. from SSN.

Choose any option.

We knit the walls

For the top of the bag, we tie the edges of the bottom with the main pattern (see the alternation of colors). Beginning of the river should be in the center short. sides.

1st row: perform 33 repeats (198 sts) + start and end sts.

Pens

We need the knitted handles for the bag to be non-stretchable - the best option— insert a thick cord or rope into the handle. Using yellow yarn, make 1 chain of 9 VPs and 1 VP rise. We carry out p. RLS, despite the fact that each subsequent p. start with 1 add. initial VP. We finish 1 sc in the 1st sc of the previous row. We finish knitting after 47 cm from the beginning. We cut the rope into two parts, insert it into knitted stripes handles and sew along. We sew the base of the handles to the wrong side of the product so that the distance between the handles is 19-20.5 cm.

Knitted bags are very popular now. I present to you a master class on knitting such a bag from nylon threads, thick acrylic yarn, and even from garbage bags. If you take black bags and , then you will get a bag made from crocheted bags, and no one will guess that such a bag is made from garbage bags! Knit yourself a cool thing - diagrams and descriptions are included.

Nylon, cotton, jute threads of any colors are suitable for this handbag. The pattern is called curvy columns. Look how cool knitted bags look:

Crocheting is not just a hobby for retired grandmothers; it is a skill and even an art that is becoming increasingly popular. Crocheting is not only practical, but also a creative activity, and it is also great way doing something useful on cold and rainy days while sitting in front of the TV. In this article you will find instructions on how to create simple bag using only basic crochet techniques. This pattern can easily be modified to create any size and style of bag.

Steps

Simple clutch bag

Repeat the basics of crochet. This bag will be a good job for beginners. If you haven't read about how to crochet, be sure to read the article.

• For this work, you just need to know how to knit a chain stitch (conventionally designated “vp” or “vp”) and a single crochet (“dc” or “sc”).

1. Decide what kind of bag you want to knit. This pattern can be modified to create a small clutch bag, tablet or laptop case.

   • If you plan to carry a specific item in your new bag, measure it in advance (like your laptop) or measure the size and style of bag you want so you already have an idea of ​​the basic dimensions and shape.

2. Choose your yarn. If this is one of your first crochet projects, you'll be better off working with a simple, regular twist yarn in cotton or soft acrylic. It is also better for you to take plain yarn so that you can easily count the stitches and immediately see the quality of their execution.

   Pick up a hook. Choose a crochet hook. Almost all yarn manufacturers will indicate on the label what hook size will work with that particular yarn, so for now it will be easier for you to stick to these recommendations.

   • The general rule in this case is: than more hook, the thicker the yarn should be.
   • If you want to quickly complete the project, choose a large hook and thick yarn. In this case, the columns are larger, therefore, you will collect rows faster.

3. Knit a sample. As in any other business, it will not be superfluous to make a sample of the final product. You may be itching to start knitting your bag, but taking a little time to knit a small square (about 10x10cm) will save you time later.

   • By knitting a test pattern, you will measure the tightness of the knitting (how loose or tight the stitches are) and find out how many stitches fit into a centimeter of knitting.

4. Cast on a chain of air loops, the length of which will be equal to the width of the bottom and top of your bag. Since this is a beginner's project, you will be knitting a rectangle or square (the bottom and top of your bag will be the same width, and the sides will be the same height).

   • More complex jobs can be the most different forms- for example, in the form of an isosceles trapezoid, in which the upper part gradually narrows. To make a bag of this shape, you will need to learn how to decrease the number of stitches in the rows.
   • For a small or medium bag, a chain of 30-60 chain stitches should be enough.
   • Be sure to remember how many chain stitches you knit in this initial chain. It will be easier to write down this number, and if your chain is quite long, insert markers every 10-20 stitches to avoid losing count.

5. Turn the knitting over and knit a row of single crochets (1 sc in each ch of the starting chain). Once you have cast on the initial chain of chain stitches, its length will determine the width of your future bag, so in order to start a new row, you need to knit in the opposite direction, rather than continuing this chain. You will need to turn the knitting over each time you get to the end of the row.

   Continue picking up rows until your knitting is the same height as your bag. Now that you've gotten the hang of single crochet and turning, simply continue doing the same steps until the bag reaches your desired height.

   • You will need to fold the top of the bag in half (the top edge will fold down like a pocket flap). Keep this in mind as you knit and don't make the piece too short.
   • If you want the height of the bag to be 30 cm (when the flap is down) and the flap to be approximately 16 cm, then you need to knit a product with a height of 76 cm.

6. Secure the thread of yarn. Once your project reaches the desired height, you will need to cut a strand of yarn and secure it. This is quite easy to do if you crochet.

7. Place the knitted fabric in a bag and sew the edges together. Fold the bottom of the fabric to form an envelope.

   • Check if you have folded the product with the wrong side out: if you like the way one side of the knitted fabric looks, fold the product so that that particular side becomes the right side.
   • Take the thread suitable color(the same yarn you knitted the fabric with is best, unless you like the look of contrasting stitches) and sew the sides of the bag together. Stop at the height at which you would like to close the loose lapel.

   Tote bag

   1. Repeat steps 1-5 of the previous section. Instead of a simple clutch, you can try making a tote (or bag). Since in this case you will need to knit two separate fabrics and then sew them together, the bag will be more spacious, so it will be suitable for shopping or a good wallet.

      • The first steps when making a tote bag are the same as when knitting a clutch. You must be able to confidently knit basic stitches and stitches, carefully select your yarn and hook, and decide how you want the final product to look. Once you've completed these steps, you're ready to start knitting your new bag!

   2. Decide if your bag needs a closing flap. You will knit two fabrics and sew them together. If you don't want a closing flap at the top of the bag, the two canvases will be exactly the same. If you want to make such a lapel, the fabric that will become the back of the bag will need to be made higher.

      • For example, if you want a bag with a height of 30 cm with a lapel, one fabric should be longer - knitting it with a height of 45 cm will result in a lapel of 15 cm.

   3. Cast on a chain of chain stitches. Carefully counting the loops, pick up a chain of air loops until its length is equal to the width of the top and bottom of your future bag. You will knit either a rectangle or a square, it all depends on the desired shape of your bag.

      • If your chain is quite long, insert markers every 10-20 stitches to avoid losing count.

An essential attribute of the summer wardrobe modern woman There are no difficulties with the schemes, since there are a lot of them. This accessory is great for use while going to the beach or as an addition to light sundresses and dresses. Those who spend the summer in the city also do not refuse knitted bags, because the variety of their types and models allows you to complement any wardrobe.

Types of crocheted bags

Summarizing all the existing configurations of knitted bags, we can distinguish two main types:

• Rectangular.
• Round.

All other models are modified and improved. The fabric of any of the listed bags can be knitted with one pattern or consist of separate fragments.

They gained wide popularity (the patterns of most of them were developed independently by knitters), for knitting which both motifs and a smooth solid fabric were used.

Handles for knitted bags

One of the most important aspects of the process is the choice of method for making handles. They can consist of metal, wood, plastic, or be made of the same material as the bag itself. Leather handles look very beautiful and neat in combination with knitted fabric and the same crochet patches on bags (the patterns for such models are solid, without openwork). To do this, you can use handles and leather elements from another bag or sew them specifically for this product. The handles of the bags can be connected to the main fabric. They are knitted by gradually shortening the loops of the fabrics and ending up with a long, wide strip.

What should the clasp of a knitted bag be like?

clasp on bags, crocheted, can be done in several ways:

• Lightning.
• Buttons.
• Buttons.
• Lacing.

The first method is most often used. It allows you to achieve accurate appearance products. It is also a universal, reliable and practical method to secure the contents of your bag. The disadvantage of zippers is the difficulty of sewing them in. Not every craftswoman is able to correctly distribute and carefully sew this fastener. Quite often, the result of several hours of work is a crookedly sewn or non-functional zipper.

Buttons and buttons are much easier to sew on. To do this, you can equip the bag with a patch flap with button loops or place buttons directly on the inner edges of the fabrics.

A backpack or a simple rectangular crocheted bag, the diagrams and description of which you can develop yourself, can be equipped with a cord instead of a classic clasp. This cannot be said to be convenient if you have to quickly look for something, but this pattern is easy to knit.

One of the most expensive and interesting are locks for bags, which are called “kisses”. This is a metal frame with two vertical pins that overlap each other and thus fasten the bag. This type of lock also needs to be sewn on very carefully.

Crochet rectangular bag: diagrams and description

Knitting a rectangular bag is easy. To do this, you can use yarn of one or more colors, as well as almost any pattern. Depending on the purpose of the accessory, cotton, linen, wool or synthetic thread is used.

The bag pictured above is knitted from thick cotton yarn. The melange effect was achieved by mixing dark and light colored threads. Also, thanks to this, the fabric turned out to be stiff (which is good for a bag), and the knitting looks large and voluminous. The bottom and top of the fabric are knitted with simple single crochets. It is advisable to choose a solid pattern for such a crocheted bag (patterns are given below).

Beach bag

This bright accessory lifts your spirits with its variety of colors and patterns. In addition, it is very roomy, with it you don’t have to worry about where to put your towel or Some beach products reach very large sizes and they look quite appropriate. This is the simplest crochet bag. The diagram and description of the algorithm for its production are proposed below.

The bottom is not necessary for such models. You can simply sew the edges of the rectangle of the finished main part. But bags with bottoms definitely look better. The diagram suggests an option for knitting an oval-shaped bottom. It can also be made in the form of a rectangle or circle. The shape depends on the method of expanding the canvas. While working, you need to ensure that the width of the main part of the bag along the bottom edge is equal to the circumference of the bottom. Otherwise, when it comes to sewing, you will have to gather the main part into folds or tie it together.

It is better to knit a rectangular main element in two parts rather than in the round. This makes it easier to make adjustments if a mistake is made. When the rectangle is sewn to the bottom, the top edge should be tied, as well as the handles should be tied and sewn.

Round bags

Round bags need to be knitted using appropriate patterns. Consistently executed expansion of round canvases is necessary to obtain neat and geometrically correct bags. If the principle of expanding the circular fabric is violated, you may encounter a drawn-out outer edge of the circle, a domed middle, or, conversely, stretched ruffles.

Round crocheted bags, the patterns of which are best chosen solid or with a minimal amount of openwork, are most often flat. In this case, two main parts are knitted in circular rows. You can simply connect them together or sew in a long strip that simultaneously serves as sides, bottom and handles.

The crocheted bags with patterns described in this article represent only a small fraction of all existing models. If desired, you can plan and knit a bag of literally any configuration.
