Crochet Asanoha (Hemp Leaf) One-Shoulder Bag | Free Pattern & Japanese Chart

A crocheted shoulder bag you'll want to take with you on your summer outings.

While knitting is often associated with winter, crochet offers plenty of items that you simply can't resist knitting during the spring and summer seasons.
I find myself wanting to knit classic items like bags and hats every year, as soon as the summer yarns start appearing in craft stores.

This time, I've knitted another round-bottomed one-shoulder bag with a hemp leaf pattern, giving it a summery feel.
It also has a bucket bag-like feel to it.

I thought it might be easier to use if I made the shoulder strap long enough to wear it across my body, but it ended up looking like this.
This bag is perfect for carrying over a cool, sleeveless top, and makes you want to stroll along the beach.
The shape would look good with natural colors, so try looking for a color that you can easily use.

Detailed instructions and steps for making the "Asanoha One-Shoulder Bag"

Please check the instructions for how to make it, as well as the knitting pattern for the sides and string.

①Start knitting from the bottom of the bag by casting on a loop.
Cast on with 6 stitches, then from the second row onwards, increase 6 stitches in each row and work in knit stitch up to row 22. There will be 132 stitches in one round.
The bottom isKnitting pattern (circle)It is knitted according to the following rules.

②For rows 23 to 30, continue from the bottom using knit stitches without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches.

③Once you have completed step ②, start the hemp leaf pattern in the next row. Once you have completed one round, you will have a total of 33 hemp leaf patterns.
Knit up to row 15 without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches.
The knitting method for starting and finishing is different for odd and even rows, and this is where it's easy to make mistakes, so try checking each row as you knit.
Following the hemp leaf pattern, knit the knit stitches around the opening of the bag, and the sides are complete.

④Next, knit the shoulder part.
I continued knitting one side from where I finished knitting the side of the bag using the same yarn. For the other side, I added the yarn in the position shown in the pattern and started knitting.
If you change the position where you knit the string, you can attach new yarn to both sides and knit while maintaining the balance of the number of stitches (20 stitches, 46 stitches, 20 stitches, 46 stitches).

⑤Knit both sides of the shoulder strap up to row 41 using back and forth knitting, then align the knitted pieces on the end sides and secure with a roll stitch.
To adjust the length of the shoulder straps, try changing the number of rows of knitting.

⑥ After securing the strap with an overlock stitch, attach the yarn to the center of the shoulder strap (around where it was secured with an overlock stitch) and crochet the edges of the strap and the opening of the bag using a knit stitch.
