👌You will find three ways to connect rows in this lesson. Crochet bag.


 

🧶 Materials Needed

  • Thick cord yarn or t-shirt yarn (or bulky cotton cord)

  • Crochet hook sized to match your yarn (e.g., 8–10 mm)

  • Scissors and tapestry needle

 Method 1: Slip Stitch Join (Invisible Seam)

  1. After finishing each round, chain 1 and turn your work.

  2. Align your stitches for the next round so that the first stitch of the new round sits beside the last stitch of the previous.

  3. Slip stitch into that last stitch to join invisibly.

  4. Begin your next round of stitches (e.g., single crochet or your chosen stitch) in the correct alignment.

  5. This method yields a seamless, almost hidden join.

 Method 2: Chain Bridge Join

  1. At the end of a round, chain 1 and turn your work.

  2. Begin your first stitch of the next round in the chain stitch you just made, creating a small “bridge.”

  3. Alternatively, you can chain 2 to build a bit of lift for alignment.

  4. Crocheting into this chain bridge helps even out the join and adds a slight ridge.

 Method 3: Raised Ridge Join (Front Post / Back Post Technique)

  1. Chain 1 and turn your work as usual.

  2. Working into the front loop only (or specifically the back loop), crochet the first stitch of the round.

  3. This creates a subtle ridge or textured line that clearly marks the row join.

  4. It’s commonly used for decorative separation or accent lines.


👜 Bag Construction (General Steps)

The video uses these joining methods as you build a tube-like bag:

Step A: Base

  • Work in the round: single crochets or alternate stitch to create a circular or rectangular base of suitable diameter/width.

Step B: Build the Tube

  • Crochet up the sides using your stitch of choice (e.g., sc or dc in round).

  • At the end of each round, apply one of the three joining methods:

    • Slip stitch join for seamless look,

    • Chain bridge for smooth elevation between rounds,

    • Ridge join for a decorative edge between rows.

Step C: Finishing Edge

  • At your desired height, switch to top border stitches:

    • Work few rounds in plain single crochet.

    • Optionally change yarn color here to highlight the edge.

Step D: Handles (Optional)

  • Identify two points on the final round edge.

  • Attach your yarn and chain the length needed for a handle loop.

  • Skip the corresponding number of stitches on the base row and slip stitch to anchor.

  • Reinforce by working around the chain loop if desired.

Step E: Final Pass

  • Finish the last round with the same joining method to keep consistency.

  • Cut yarn, weave in ends neatly inside.

Comparison Table of Join Methods

Join Method          How to Work It                                                Visual Result                         
Slip Stitch Join             Chain 1, turn, slip‑stitch into last stitch of  previous    Nearly invisible, smooth seam
Chain Bridge JoinChain 1 (or 2), begin next round in that chainSlight elevation, gentle transition
Ridge / Loop JoinChain 1, turn, work first stitch into front/back loopClear ridge—textural accent

💡 Tips from the Video

  • Use thick cord or t-shirt yarn for a stable, structured tote.

  • Choose the join method based on your preferred visual effect and seam appearance.

  • Maintain consistent tension to keep the tote walls even.

  • Practice all three joining styles to decide which suits your next project best.

By using any of these join methods while crocheting your bag in the round, you'll achieve clean, professional-looking seams tailored to your aesthetic!
