TRY IT!!! Crochet Bag | Wheat Stitch Crochet Bag
Here’s a written, step-by-step tutorial how to crochet a Wheat Stitch bag:
🧶 Materials
-
Worsted-weight yarn (your choice of colors)
-
Crochet hook (size used around 4.5 mm – G/7)
-
Scissors and tapestry needle
Step 1: Create a Foundation Chain
-
Chain a multiple of 4 stitches (video demonstrates 40 chains to suit bag width).
-
For desired bag size, adjust chain count in sets of 4.
Step 2: Row 1 – Half Double Crochet
-
Starting in the 2nd chain from hook, make a half double crochet (hdc) in each chain across.
-
Chain 2 and turn.
Step 3: Row 2 – Begin Wheat Stitch
-
Skip the first stitch.
-
In the next stitch, [hdc, chain 1, hdc] all worked into the same stitch (this makes one “wheat”).
-
Skip one stitch. Then, in the following stitch repeat [hdc, ch 1, hdc].
-
Continue across the row so that each “wheat” is separated by a skipped stitch.
-
End row with hdc in last stitch. Chain 2, turn.
Step 4: Row 3 and Beyond – Continue Wheat Stitch
-
In each chain-1 space from the previous row, work [hdc, ch 1, hdc].
-
Continue skipping every other hdc from the row below.
-
This creates a column of “wheat” clusters stacked vertically.
-
Repeat row 2 for the entire bag body until desired height (video reaches approx. 20–25 cm).
Step 5: Shape and Finish the Top
-
Once the bag height is achieved, crochet 2–3 plain rows of hdc (with chain 2 at each turn) to create a neat top border.
-
Optionally add a contrasting color in these rows for an accent stripe.
Step 6: Seam Up the Sides (if worked flat)
-
Fold the rectangle so right sides face in.
-
Slip stitch or whip stitch the two side edges together.
-
Turn the bag right-side-out.
(If you’re working in the round, simply join ends and continue crocheting without a seam.)
Step 7: Make and Attach Handles (Optional)
-
With the same yarn (or contrast), attach at top of side seam.
-
Chain enough stitches to reach across (e.g. 30 ch), skip same number of stitches, then sl st to the next stitch.
-
At the base of the loop, work a round of hdc around the chain and edge for stability.
-
Repeat for the other side handle.
-
Fasten off and weave in ends.
Tips from the Video
-
Count stitches at row ends to maintain width.
-
Consistent tension ensures even “wheat” textures.
-
Use chain-2 turns for clean row edges.
-
Adding a handle reinforcement round (hdc around chain loops) helps durability.
📝 Quick Stitch Summary
Part | Stitch Pattern |
---|---|
Foundation | Chain a multiple of 4 (e.g. 40) |
Row 1 | Hdc across, chain 2, turn |
Row 2 | Skip 1, [hdc,ch1,hdc], skip 1, hdc across |
Rows 3+ | Repeat Row 2 for wheat texture |
Top Border | 2–3 rows of hdc, chain 2 at turn |
Seaming/Handles | Sew sides, add chain loop handles, reinforce with hdc |
With that, your wheat stitch crochet bag should be beautifully textured, sturdy, and ready for everyday use!
