Pleated Crochet Bag – Part 1 (NEW BAG!) January 10, 2010

So I decided to ditch knitting … pretty short attention span i have …. 😛
well, it’s really to rest my arms ….. the numbness freaked me out.
anyway, back to crocheting. i started this project about a week before i dabbled in knitting. after wasting 1 week practicing how to knit and purl, i finally got back to my crochet project.
I finally finished all the stitches last night. :D:D:D so tarahhhhhh!
the pattern is from Keito Dama’s No. 137 issue (page 91). It looks like the fat bottom bag i made for Eelaine. It’s the same yarn, but totally different pattern. It’s quite easy to make really. Basically just double crochet in back loops only for the body. It’s hdc for the bag brim … it’s modified, i don’t know what it’s called, but it’s not easy to do. So i used front and back post double crochet for the brim instead. It also made my bag deeper 😀 which I like because i like big roomy bags! I got lazy with the handles. There were so many stitches and single crochets take so long to build up. So, after doing 2 or 3 rows of sc, i got tired and switched to another 3 rows of HDC and finished the handles with 1 row of sc. 😛 much faster!
Initially, I tried to do this pattern with my own imagination because I couldn’t find the pattern and came up with this by looking at pictures of what others had done on ravelry and reading some of their tips & comments.
T_T see how the sides of my own pattern is not looking quite right? it’s too wide and bunched up at the sides. then …. after almost making the whole bag besides the handles (see above) … i found the pattern online. So I frogged the whole bag I did and followed the pattern I found online because I want THAT BAG! It was ALOT OF STITCHES to frog …. T_T
Well, the bag is done now. I’ve sewed the lining with pockets. Now I just need to stitch the lining into the bag ….. I think I want to put a zipper in for this bag. Gotta figure out how! :p
HAPPY MONDAY!
P/S: Many people have asked for the pattern. I’m pretty sure I’ve infringed copyright laws somewhere but click here for the link. I found it on the internet as well, someone else have scanned it to share.

Hi.
I had the same issue with the handles. Where did you find the online patter? I’ve been searching it for more than 6 months.
Thank you!

Hi Denise
I think i used the flower pattern from this site: http://minchanka.by/julia/BrownSwimsuitWithBlueRomanticFlowers.html
It’s in Russian, but the flowers are in a diagram. http://minchanka.by/image/Na%20dosuge/julia/BrownSwimsuitWithBlueRomanticFlowers/schemaFlowers.jpg

Hello, your bag came out great! I have been trying to figure out this bag, i got halfway with the beginning half of the bag, and the increasing, but i can’t seem to figure out the pattern from there with the decreasing =[ im stuck. Do you have any suggestions? it would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!
Hi! thank you! The pattern for the body are mirrored on each side, ie. rows 1 to 10 with the increases, the middle of the body with no increases, and the final 10 rows with the decreases. If you are unsure how to decrease, you can check out this video on how decreases are made for double crochet.
Yayyy, thank you so much, this makes sense, because i was working the row, like hmm there’s a hole here where i decreased, that can’t be right lol Thanks again! =]
you’re very welcome!
