Crochet bags are an essential attribute of a modern woman's summer wardrobe. There are no difficulties with schemes, since there are a lot of them. This accessory is great for use during trips 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 crochet bags

Summarizing all the existing configurations of knitted bags, two main types can be distinguished:

• Rectangular.
• Round.

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

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

Handles for knitted bags

One of the most important aspects of the process of knitting bags becomeschoice of the method of making handles. They can be made of metal, wood, plastic, or be made from the same material as the bag itself. Leather handles look very nice and neat in combination with a knitted fabric and the same crocheted patches on bags (schemes for such models are used solid, without openwork). To do this, you can use handles and leather elements from another bag or sew them specifically for this product. Bag handles can be connected to the main canvas. They are knitted, gradually reducing the loops of the fabrics and leaving on a long wide strip.

What should be the clasp of a knitted bag

The fastener on crochet bags can be done in several ways:

• Lightning.
• Buttons.
• Buttons.
• Lace up.

The first method is most often used. It allows you to achieve a neat appearance of the product. It is also a universal, reliable and practical method to secure the contents of the bag. The disadvantage of zippers is the difficulty with sewing them in. Not every craftswoman can properly distribute and carefully sew this fastener. Quite often, the result of several hours of work is a crookedly sewn or broken zipper.

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

A backpack or a simple crochet rectangular bag, the diagrams and description of which can be developed independently, can beequipped with a drawstring instead of a classic fastener. It cannot be said that it is convenient if you have to quickly look for something, but it is easy to knit such a model.

One of the most expensive and interesting are locks for bags, which are called "kissers". This is a metal frame with two vertical pins that go behind each other and thus fasten the bag. This type of lock also needs to be sewn 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, woolen or synthetic thread is used.

The bag pictured above is crocheted from thick cotton yarn. The melange effect is achieved by mixing threads of dark and light colors. Also, thanks to this, the fabric came out tough (which is good for a bag), and the knitting looks large and voluminous. The bottom and upper part of the canvas is connected with simple single crochets. The pattern for such a crochet bag (the diagrams are given below) is desirable to choose a solid one.

This will help the fabric keep its shape and not stretch. Although many crochet patterns, even with a slight openwork, remain quite dense.

Beach bag

This bright accessory will uplift your mood with its variety of colors and patterns. In addition, it is very roomy, with it you can not worry about wherefold a towel or beach cover. Some beach products reach very large sizes and look quite appropriate. This is the easiest crochet bag. The scheme, a description of the algorithm for its manufacture are proposed further.

The bottom for such models is optional. You can simply sew the edges of the rectangle of the finished main part. But bags with a bottom definitely look better. The diagram suggests a variant of knitting the bottom of an oval shape. It can also be made in the form of a rectangle or a circle. The shape depends on the web expansion method. In the process of work, 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 finish knitting.

It is better to knit a rectangular main element in two parts, and not in a circle. This makes it easier to make adjustments if a mistake is made. When the rectangle is sewn to the bottom, tie along the top edge, as well as tie and sew on the handles.

Round Bags

You need to knit round bags using the appropriate patterns. Consistently performed expansion of round canvases is necessary to obtain neat and geometrically correct bags. In case of violation of the principle of expanding the circular canvas, you may encounter a tightened outer edge of the circle, a domed middle, or, conversely, stretched ruffles.

Round crochet bags, the patterns of which are better to choosesolid or with a minimum amount of openwork, most often they are flat. In this case, two main details are knitted in circular rows. They can simply be joined together or sewn into a long strip that simultaneously acts as sidewalls, bottom and handles.

The crochet 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.
