Red Flame Crochet Bag, by Marieta Iosifidou

 “Red Flame” 

Handmade Crochet Bag, 

by Marieta Iosifidou 

During walking in YouTube, met this beautiful bag. As looking for yarn in stash, found 200gr red makrame yarn DK, plus little dark Blue and white yarn, a hook 4mm/G (6) and the journey for the Red Flame Bag, was started.
Started with a magic ring, and continue to create-crochet a  Solid Granny Square which will be the base of the bag.
 Instructions

Abbreviations:

  • Ch:  chain
  • dc: double crochet
  • mr: magic ring 
  • slst : slip stitch
  • Rnd : round 

Starting: magic ring,

Rnd 1: all dc works into the mr(circle)

ch3(which counts as 1dc) + 3dc into mr (circle), ch2, 

4dc-2ch-4dc-2ch-4dc-2ch

 join the last ch with slst with the 3rd chain of the start, 

Here completed the 1st rnd.


Rnd 2: ch3(counts as 1dc), make 1dc on every stitch of previous rd until the space of 2chs, into the ch2 space make 2dc-ch3-2dc, continue till the end of the round with the same way and join the last ch with slst with the 3rd chain of the round start,

Continue with the same way, as Rnd 2 utill your granny square  reach a required measurement. that you need, for the base of your bag (smaller or larger as it suits you).

Here finished with the increases and start, to crochet the chevron stitch from the chart  
You can crochet the bag with one color of more colors. 
It depends on your opinion. 

I have lined the inside of the bag with red lining to keep the bag stable. Also sewed a magnet for a clasp.

Love the result.

 

 

 

 

 

For handle, used Basic Romanian Crochet Cord and fixed so good. Cristines Crochet - Romanian Crochet Cord / Bag Strap
