Is the Easy Drawstring Bag for Beginners?
Upper beginners who have mastered fundamental techniques will find this crochet drawstring bag pattern remarkably easy to tackle. This project features a straightforward construction and two different stitches – single crochets and back post stitches. It requires no sewing and no color changes when worked with self-striping yarn.
Gather What You Need Before You Start
If you want your bag to have the same beautiful ombre look as the one seen in the photo, be sure to cake yarn with wonderful color changes. The designer used YarnArt Macrame Cotton, which ensures not only a gorgeous gradient effect but also high durability.
You can also use any other sport-weight yarn you like. To obtain the gauge, the pattern suggests choosing a 4 mm crochet hook.
How to Crochet This Drawstring Bag
The Easy Drawstring Bag Pattern alternates between basic and post stitches with a little bit of increase and decrease.
You start this bag from the center of the bottom and crochet upward in a spiral. As you increase stitches, the base grows wider. Once it’s wide enough, you stop increasing and keep crocheting up to form the sides. Use a stitch marker to track your rounds since you keep going in one continuous spiral. The last step requires crocheting a sturdy drawing cord.
The result? A beautiful accessory that can safely store your essentials when you’re away from home.
