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

  1. Chain a multiple of 4 stitches (video demonstrates 40 chains to suit bag width).

  2. For desired bag size, adjust chain count in sets of 4.


Step 2: Row 1 – Half Double Crochet

  1. Starting in the 2nd chain from hook, make a half double crochet (hdc) in each chain across.

  2. Chain 2 and turn.


Step 3: Row 2 – Begin Wheat Stitch

  1. Skip the first stitch.

  2. In the next stitch, [hdc, chain 1, hdc] all worked into the same stitch (this makes one “wheat”).

  3. Skip one stitch. Then, in the following stitch repeat [hdc, ch 1, hdc].

  4. Continue across the row so that each “wheat” is separated by a skipped stitch.

  5. End row with hdc in last stitch. Chain 2, turn.


Step 4: Row 3 and Beyond – Continue Wheat Stitch

  1. In each chain-1 space from the previous row, work [hdc, ch 1, hdc].

  2. Continue skipping every other hdc from the row below.

  3. This creates a column of “wheat” clusters stacked vertically.

  4. Repeat row 2 for the entire bag body until desired height (video reaches approx. 20–25 cm).


Step 5: Shape and Finish the Top

  1. 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.

  2. Optionally add a contrasting color in these rows for an accent stripe.


Step 6: Seam Up the Sides (if worked flat)

  1. Fold the rectangle so right sides face in.

  2. Slip stitch or whip stitch the two side edges together.

  3. 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)

  1. With the same yarn (or contrast), attach at top of side seam.

  2. Chain enough stitches to reach across (e.g. 30 ch), skip same number of stitches, then sl st to the next stitch.

  3. At the base of the loop, work a round of hdc around the chain and edge for stability.

  4. Repeat for the other side handle.

  5. 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.
