DIY Crochet Tote Bag Tutorial | Beginner friendly!


 

🧶 Materials You’ll Need

  • Worsted-weight yarn (one or two colors)

  • Crochet hook (approx. 5 mm / H-8)

  • Scissors

  • Tapestry needle for weaving ends

Step 1: Foundation Chain

  1. Start with a slip knot on your hook.

  2. Chain the required number of stitches for your bag’s width (the video uses 40 chains as a base). You can adjust in multiples of 2 for shape.

Step 2: Row 1 – Single Crochet Foundation

  1. Insert your hook into the 2nd chain from hook and work single crochet (sc) across.

  2. When you reach the final chain, chain 1 and turn your work.

Step 3: Rows 2–5 – Continue Building the Base

  • Maintain 1 sc per stitch, chaining 1 and turning at the end of each row.

  • These flat rows form a solid, stable foundation for the bag’s bottom.

Step 4: Body of the Tote – Plain SC Texture

  • Continue working rows of plain sc across, chaining 1 and turning at the end of each row.

  • Keep going until the bag’s body reaches your desired height (video shows about 15 cm / 6 inches).

Step 5: Creating the Handles

  1. Identify two evenly spaced points on the top edge for your handles.

  2. Chain 30 stitches (or length of your choice) for the first handle.

  3. Skip the corresponding 30 stitches on your work, then slip stitch into the next stitch after the skipped section.

  4. Chain 1 and turn.


Step 6: Reinforce the Handles

  • On the next round, work single crochet around each handle chain loop and across the top edge to strengthen the structure.

  • This helps prevent stretching and ensures durability.

Step 7: Top Border

  • After reinforcing handles, work 2–3 additional rows of plain sc to neatly finish the top edge.

  • Remember to chain 1 and turn at the end of each row.

Step 8: Finish & Weave In Ends

  1. On the final row, finish with a slip stitch.

  2. Cut the yarn, leaving a small tail, and pull it through the last loop.

  3. Weave in all loose ends using your tapestry needle for a clean interior finish.
