How to Make a Crochet Dice Bag
Are you a fan of tabletop games? Do you love collecting dice and need a stylish way to carry them around? Look no further! In this step-by-step guide, we will show you how to make your very own crochet dice bag. This simple and fun DIY project is perfect for beginners and experienced crocheters alike. So gather your materials and let's get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, let's make sure you have all the necessary materials for this project. Here's what you'll need:
- 4.5 millimeter crochet hook
- Yarn (medium worsted weight)
- Scissors
- Darning needle
Now that you have your materials ready, let's dive into the step-by-step process of making your crochet dice bag.
Step 1: Starting the Bag
To start, cross your yarn and chain two. Then, make a single crochet into the first chain. Repeat this process six times to create six single crochets in total. To finish off the round, slip stitch into the first stitch and chain up one.
Step 2: Increasing the Stitches
For the second round, you'll need to increase the stitches. Put two single crochets in each stitch around, resulting in a total of 12 stitches. Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain up one.
Step 3: Continuing the Increase
In this step, we'll be working in multiples of three. Start with two single crochets in the first stitch, followed by one single crochet in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern until you have 18 stitches. Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain up one.
Step 4: Working in Multiples
In this round, we'll be working in multiples of four. Start with two single crochets in the first stitch, followed by one single crochet in each of the next two stitches. Repeat this pattern until you have 24 stitches. Slip stitch into the first stitch and chain up one.
Step 5: Forming the Cylinder
Continuing our spiral pattern, work single crochets in each stitch without increasing. Repeat this pattern for 12 rows, making sure to maintain the cylindrical shape. If you want to keep track of the rows, count the ridges formed by the increase rounds.
Step 6: Creating the Eyelets
To create the eyelets for the drawstrings, slip stitch into the next stitch and chain four. Skip one stitch and double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this pattern all the way around. Slip stitch into the third chain of the chain four to finish the round.
Step 7: Making the Drawstrings
To make the drawstrings, create two chains of 60 stitches each. These drawstrings will be used to secure the bag and provide a convenient way to open and close it.
Step 8: Attaching the Drawstrings
Thread one drawstring through the eyelets from one side and the other drawstring through the eyelets from the opposite side. Tie knots at the ends of the drawstrings and adjust them to your desired length. Trim off any excess material.
