Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make a Chain

Begin by making a chain that is the desired length of your bag, plus 2 extra chains. The extra chains will be used for the turning chain.

Step 2: Single Crochet in the Chain

Step 3: Mark the Sides of the Bag

Mark the sides of the bag with stitch markers, as this is where you will be working the increases for the bag.

Step 4: Work in the Round

Join the last single crochet to the first single crochet with a slip stitch to form a ring. Begin working in the round, making sure to mark the first stitch of each round.

Step 5: Increase the Bag

Single crochet in each stitch until you reach the first stitch marker. Make 2 single crochets in the stitch immediately before the stitch marker. Continue this pattern until you reach the second stitch marker. Single crochet in each stitch until the end of the round.

Step 6: Repeat

Repeat step 5 until your bag reaches the desired height. Be sure to switch colors as desired to create the locket pattern.

Step 7: Make the Handles

For the handles, make a chain that is the desired length of the handle. Single crochet in each chain across. Make as many rows as you desire for the thickness of the handle.

Step 8: Attach the Handles

Attach the handles to the bag using a tapestry needle and yarn. Attach the handles to the sides of the bag at the desired length and height.

Step 9: Finishing

Weave in any remaining ends using a tapestry needle. Your locket model blanket bag is now complete!
