Introduction

Welcome back! In this Merbabu segment, we will be creating a trendy owl-themed bag that is currently booming in popularity. This bag is not only stylish but also a fun project to work on. Get ready to dive into the world of crochet as we guide you step by step through the process of making this adorable owl bag.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you'll need for this project:

• 200gr of medium poly yarn
• Hook number 5
• Gas lighters
• Stitch marker

Now that you have everything ready, let's get started on making your own owl bag!

Step 1: Making the Base

We will start by creating the base of the bag. Begin by making a chain (CH) of 25 stitches. Once you have completed the chain, add 3 more chains. In the fourth stitch, make a double crochet (DC). Repeat this process for each stitch in the chain until you reach the end. Finally, fill the end with 5 double crochets and slip stitch in the third chain.

Step 2: Adding Stitches and Increases

For the second row, add 2 single crochet (SC) in each stitch of the previous row. At the end, slip stitch in the first double crochet of the previous row. Continue this pattern for the next row, with increases in each stitch at the end of the 5 double crochets section. Slip stitch again in the first double crochet.

Step 3: Creating the Oval Shape

To create the oval shape of the bag, we will be working with double crochets in the back loop only. Make a chain of 4 and double crochet in each stitch. Slip stitch in the first double crochet to complete the row. This will give your bag a curved shape.

Step 4: Working on the Body of the Bag

In this step, we will focus on working on the body of the bag. Make a chain of 4 and double crochet in the same stitch. Position the "V" stitch in the same pattern as shown in the previous row. Use a stitch marker to mark the placement of the "V" stitch. Work on each stitch of the row, skipping one stitch and filling each stitch with double crochet. Slip stitch in the third chain to complete the row.

Step 5: Incorporating V-Stitches

Continue to work on the body of the bag using V-stitches. Skip 2 stitches and double crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern for each stitch of the row, placing a V-stitch in each chain space. Slip stitch in the third chain to finish the row.

Step 6: Continuing with V-Stitches

Repeat the process in the previous step for the remaining rows, ensuring the placement of the V-stitches remains consistent. Use stitch markers to mark the position of the V-stitches and continue the pattern until you reach the desired height for the bag.

Step 7: Rounding and Increasing V-Stitches

To give the bag a round shape, make increases in the V-stitches section. This will add volume to the bag. Follow the same pattern as before, making V-stitches and increasing the number of V-stitches at the end of each row. Slip stitch in the third chain to complete the row.

Step 8: Completing Rows 8 and 9

For rows 8 and 9, repeat the same pattern as row 7, keeping the placement of the V-stitches consistent. Slip stitch in the third chain to finish each row.

Step 9: Adding the Popcorn Stitch

In this step, we will create the owl's nose using the popcorn stitch. We will make the popcorn stitch in the middle section of the bag. Count the stitches to determine the middle section and mark it. Begin by making a chain of 2 and double crochet until the stitch marker. Next, make 7 double crochets in one stitch and secure it by hooking the first stitch. Continue with double crochet in each stitch until the end of the row. Slip stitch in the first double crochet to complete the row.

Step 10: Decreasing Stitches and Shaping the Bag

In this step, we will decrease the number of stitches to shape the bag. Follow the pattern from the previous rows, but make decreases in 4 specific parts of the bag. This will create a tapered shape for the bag. Slip stitch in the first double crochet to complete the row.

Step 11: Finalizing the Bag Design

Continue to work on the rows, alternating between double crochet and decreasing stitches to shape the bag. Slip stitch in the first double crochet of each row to complete it. Repeat this process until you reach the desired size for your bag.
