CROCHET BLANKET BAG

$0.99

A crochet blanket bag is a versatile and functional item that combines the coziness of a blanket with the convenience of a bag. It’s essentially a large crochet blanket that can be folded and transformed into a bag for carrying your belongings.

To make a crochet blanket bag, you’ll need the following materials:

  1. Yarn: Choose a bulky or super bulky weight yarn for a thick and sturdy bag.
  2. Crochet hook: Select an appropriate hook size based on the yarn you’ve chosen.
  3. Scissors: For cutting the yarn.
  4. Yarn needle: To weave in ends and sew the bag together, if necessary.

Here’s a general overview of the steps to make a crochet blanket bag:

  1. Gauge and measurements: Start by determining the size of the blanket bag you want to make. Measure the desired length and width of the blanket portion. Keep in mind that the final bag size will be smaller than the initial blanket size due to folding and seaming.
  2. Foundation chain: Begin by making a foundation chain with the desired width of your bag. Make sure the chain is long enough to achieve the desired length of your blanket.
  3. Blanket body: Work rows of your chosen stitch pattern to create the blanket portion. You can use simple stitches like single crochet or double crochet, or choose a more intricate stitch pattern for added texture.
  4. Bag formation: Once you’ve reached the desired length of your blanket, fold it in half lengthwise, with the wrong sides facing each other. The fold will become the bottom of the bag.
  5. Side seams: Starting from the bottom fold, use a whip stitch or single crochet stitch to seam the sides of the blanket together. You can seam as far up as you’d like, leaving an opening at the top for the bag’s opening.
  6. Handles/straps: To create handles or straps for your bag, you can crochet a long chain and attach it to the sides of the bag. Alternatively, you can attach premade handles or straps if desired.
  7. Finishing touches: Weave in any loose ends and trim excess yarn. You can also add decorative elements like tassels, pompoms, or buttons to enhance the appearance of your bag.

Remember that the specific instructions and stitch patterns may vary depending on your desired design and skill level. You can find detailed crochet patterns and tutorials online or in crochet pattern books that specifically focus on blanket bags.
