Free Crochet Pattern: Round Bag | All-Season

This is a crocheted piece.

This is a circle bag made from two round knit motifs.
At first glance, it may look flat, but it has a slight gusset, so it won't lose its shape even if you put thick items inside.
This is a simple piece that can also be used to practice circular knitting, so I hope that beginners will also be able to try it.

I knitted this in two sizes. There are PDF patterns for both.
The mini size uses extra-thick wool yarn, while the other uses medium-thick hemp yarn. Please take a look at the difference in texture between the spring/summer material and the autumn/winter material.

Even the larger size is a small wallet-sized bag, and the mini size is pouch-sized.
If you knit a larger version with thicker yarn, it would probably be about the size of a valuables bag.

Also, due to the rules of circular knitting, the round motifs can be made larger, so I think this is a recipe that is easy to adjust in size for those who know how to do it.

Instructions

Please check the knitting pattern along with the instructions. Here we will explain how to make a larger size.

① For round motifs, start by casting on a loop and then knit the entire piece using knit stitches.

Cast on with 6 knit stitches, then increase by 6 stitches each row, continuing to increase until you reach the 16th row.
The 16th row has 96 stitches in one lap.

②At the end of the 16th row, make a slip stitch in the first stitch, then at the beginning of the 17th row, make 12 slip stitches.
From there, stand up with one chain stitch,1 knit stitchI knit.
From the next stitch, work a staggered stitch (picking up only one stitch on the other side of the previous stitch).
And the 17th stepThe last stitch is a knit stitch.Knit with.
Next, knit 40 chain stitches, then make a slip stitch into the first knit stitch in row 17.

③At the beginning of the 18th row, knit a circular stitch without knitting a chain at the start.
Make one full turn using a knit stitch, and then knit the chain for the handle using one strand from the other side and the back of the chain.
Once you have picked up the chain, make a slip stitch into the first knit stitch on row 18.
Cut the thread for the first motif here.

④ Knit the second motif in the same way up to step ③, but do not cut the yarn.Instead, pick up the stitches from the second motif and knit 5 slip stitches.
Next, stack the two motifs with the right sides facing each other, pick up the stitches from both pieces, and pull them out.
Once you have knitted the stitches up to the stitch shown on the pattern, cut the yarn.

How to adjust the size?

If you want to make it larger, try increasing the number of rows of stitches in the circle motif.
This motif is "The rules of the crochet circle and the hexagonThe increase in size is based on the circular law explained in "," so if you use this as a guide, you will be able to continue increasing the size smoothly.

The opening of the bag can be adjusted by changing the extent to which you sew the motif, so try adjusting it to suit the size you have arranged.

The handle can also be easily changed by changing the number of stitches on the chain, so try arranging it to your liking.
You can also change the position of the handle by adjusting the number of slip stitches for the opening of the bag, which you will knit immediately after increasing the motif stitches.
