Making a Crochet Bag with Eyes and Beak

Crochet bags are not only practical but also allow for endless creativity and personalization. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a cute crochet bag with eyes and a beak. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crocheter, this project is perfect for you. So grab your yarn, hook, and let's get started!

Introduction

Crochet bags offer a stylish and functional way to carry your essentials. With this project, we'll show you how to create a unique bag that features adorable eyes and a beak, adding a touch of whimsy to your everyday style. The bag is made using a combination of stitches and techniques that are suitable for beginners and intermediate crocheters.

Making the Bag Body

Closing the Round

To begin, we'll create the body of the bag using a basic crochet technique. Start by working ten rows of single crochet stitches to form the body. Once the rows are complete, close the round by slip stitching in the chain one space.

Changing Color

To add visual interest and create a contrasting pattern, change the yarn color to the one used in the base of the bag. This will bring cohesion to the design. In this round, we'll work a single crochet in every stitch, including the chain one spaces between the crocodile stitches. This technique creates a texture that resembles scales.

Single Crochet in Every Stitch

Continuing with the new color, work a single crochet in each stitch around. When you reach the chain one space between the crocodile stitches, insert your hook from the back and work a single crochet in that stitch as well. Repeat this pattern of single crochets until you reach the end of the round.

Single Crochet Decrease

In this round, we'll incorporate a single crochet decrease to shape the bag. Insert your hook into the first stitch, pull up a loop, and then insert your hook into the next stitch and pull up another loop. Yarn over and pull through all three loops on your hook. Repeat this decrease pattern throughout the round until you reach your marker.

Single Crochet in Each Stitch

Now that the shaping is complete, remove the stitch marker and work a single crochet in each stitch around. Do not close the round but continue working single crochets until you've reached the desired height for your bag. This step will depend on your personal preference and the size you want to achieve.
