Lovely, tasty, yummy muffins. Who can resist them? Especially when they’re as cute as those in the photos. This easy bag project will be a great way for a beginner to make something attractive and useful, building up their crochet skills and encouraging them to reach for ever more ambitious projects.
Supplies You’ll Need to Complete This Bag
To bake… ahem… to make this colorful crochet bag, you prepare DK weight yarn and a 3 mm crochet hook. The sample shown in the photos was made with Vinnis Colours Nikkim, a 100% cotton hand-dyed yarn that ensures good stitch definition and sturdiness.
The alternating use of many yarn colors means that you can make the bag by using up yarn odds and ends that can’t be used in larger, more contiguous projects.
You will also need a few beads to sew them on the bag and create sweet cupcake motifs.
Crocheting The Bag In Simple Steps
This crochet bag pattern is a relatively simple project that uses easy stitches like double crochets and treble crochets. Its base is worked in spiral rounds, so make sure to use a stitch marker to highlight the first stitch in every round.
All fun begins when you move on to crochet the sides. This is where you will start changing colors and work clusters, resembling cute little muffin cupcakes. To finish your bag off, make sure to sew a colorful bead on the top of every treble stitch cluster.
FAQ
Can I wash the finished muffin bag?
Yes, but hand washing is best, especially if it includes sewn details or a fabric lining.
Can I resize the bag pattern?
Yes! Adjust your hook and yarn weight or add more rounds to scale it up or down.
