Crochet Lacy Summer Bag: A Free Pattern

As someone who usually makes amigurumi, creating these summer bags (and preparing a tutorial plus a free pattern for you) was definitely a bit of a challenge and quite time-consuming too. But I’ve always loved crochet bags, and I was confident that these would turn out beautifully. So I took my time and made them while watching some good movies and shows (they really help pass the time, not gonna lie).

These bags are just perfect for summer, whether you’re making a quick trip to the farmer’s market or heading off on a beach vacation. They’re roomy enough to fit your essentials and still sit comfortably on your shoulder, thanks to the wide and stylish strap. I did complain a little at first about how long they took, but honestly, you can finish one in a good 2 or 3 days, which is totally normal for crochet pieces. <3

The best part? These bags pair perfectly with my crochet orchid flowers. So please, please make at least one orchid to go with your bag. It’s such a lovely combo. [Click here to see the orchid flowers pattern!]

Materials Needed

• Cotton cord yarn or any yarn which is strong enough to hold its shape and does not stretch a lot. You will need around 300g of yarns!
• 3mm crochet hook
• Stitch markers, darning needle and scissors

Crochet Abbreviations

The abbreviations are in US terminology!

Body

Start with a slip knot and make 66ch.

R1 Starting from 3^rd ch from the hook, 1dc into each st [64]

R2-R3 Ch2 & Turn, 64dc [64]

• In R4, we are crocheting around all four sides of the crochet piece we just did and make a round!
• Watch this part of the tutorial to see how to make R4.

R4 First side; 2ch, 3dc in one, 2dc, 3dc in one, Second side; 64dc, Third side; 3dc in one, 2dc, 3dc in one, Fourth side; 64dc, 1slst into the first dc [144 dc]

• Starting from R5, we are starting to form our flower pattern!
• Each flower takes 9 stitches to do and that is why, I divide the pattern into 9st clusters!
• Watch this part of the tutorial for a more detailed explanation.

R5 Ch2, [ (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 9dc ]*8, 1slst

R6 Ch2, [ (2dc, Ch2, sk2, 1sc, Ch2, sk2, 2dc), 9dc ] *8, 1slst

R7 Ch2, [ 9dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc) ] * 8, 1slst

R8 Ch2, [ 9dc, (2dc, Ch2, sk2, 1sc, Ch2, sk2, 2dc) ] *8, 1slst

• Repeat R5 to R8 again and again (in order) until you get 4 complete flowers in each vertical row. If you want 5 flowers in each vertical row, you must repeat R5-R8 one more time and this way, you can make it longer!
• When you are finished with the body, do the last round as below which prepares for the strap!
• Watch this part of the tutorial for a more detailed explanation.

The last round of the bag body

Ch2, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 63dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 63dc

Cut the yarn.

Strap

• From the last round, we only continued one flower pattern from each side of the bag. That flower will be the center as we mark the stitches for our strap!
• Watch this part of the tutorial to see how to mark the stitches and start making the strap.

R1Ch2, 1dc dec, 6dc, 9dc, (2dc, Ch2, sk2, 1sc, Ch2, sk2, 2dc), 9dc, 6dc, 1dc dec

R2 Ch2, 1dc dec, 5dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 9dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 5dc, 1dc dec

R4 Ch2, 1dc dec, 3dc, 9dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 9dc, 3dc, 1dc dec

R5 Ch2, 1dc dec, 2dc, 9dc, (2dc, Ch2, sk2, 1sc, Ch2, sk2, 2dc), 9dc, 2dc, 1dec

R8 Ch2, 1dc dec, 8dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 8dc, 1dc dec

R9 Ch2, 9dc, (2dc, Ch2, sk2, 1sc, Ch2, sk2, 2dc), 9dc

R10 Ch2, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 9dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1), 4dc

R11 Ch2, (2dc, Ch2, sk2, 1sc, Ch2, sk2, 2dc), 9dc, (2dc, Ch2, sk2, 1sc, Ch2, sk2, 2dc)

R12 Ch2, 9dc, (4dc, Ch3, sk1, 4dc), 9dc

• Repeat from R9 to R12 again and again (in order) until you get your desired length for the strap!
• Once you get your desired length (I made mine about 13 inches), you can stop at any row, cut the yarn and make another strap in the same way.
• Join the two straps together and watch this part of the tutorial for a more detailed explanation!
