How to Crochet a Blanket Bag Model

Crocheting is a wonderful hobby that can lead to some beautiful creations. One of those creations is a blanket bag model, which is both functional and stylish. In this tutorial, we will show you how to crochet a blanket bag model step by step.

Materials Needed:

4 skeins of worsted weight yarn (any color you prefer)

Crochet hook (size G/4.25mm)

Scissors

Tapestry needle

Step 1: Make the Base of the Bag

To start, you will need to make the base of the bag. Begin by making a slip knot, then chain 24 stitches.

Next, double crochet into the 4th chain from the hook. Double crochet into each chain across until you reach the end of the row.

Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet into the 2nd stitch from the hook, and double crochet across until you reach the end of the row.

Repeat this process, chaining 3 and turning your work, until your piece measures approximately 13 inches long.

Step 2: Crochet the Sides of the Bag

Now it's time to crochet the sides of the bag. Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet into the next stitch, then chain 1. Skip the next stitch, then double crochet into the stitch after that. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the row.

Chain 3 and turn your work. Double crochet into the chain-1 space from the previous row, then chain 1. Double crochet into the next chain-1 space, then chain 1. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the row.

Repeat this process until the sides of your bag measure approximately 11 inches tall.

Step 3: Make the Handles

Now it's time to make the handles of the bag. Chain 1 and turn your work. Single crochet into the first 6 stitches, then chain 1 and turn your work. Single crochet across the next 6 stitches, then chain 1 and turn your work.

Continue this process until the handles of your bag measure approximately 18 inches long. Finish off and weave in any loose ends.

Step 4: Attach the Handles to the Bag

Now it's time to attach the handles to the bag. Using a tapestry needle and a piece of yarn, sew each end of the handle to the top edge of the bag. Make sure to securely fasten the handles to the bag.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Finally, you can add any finishing touches to your blanket bag model that you desire. This could include adding a lining to the bag, adding a button or snap closure, or even adding some tassels or pom-poms.

And there you have it! A beautiful and functional blanket bag model that you can be proud to show off.
