If, after completing a knitted blouse, scarf, dress, you still have beautiful yarn - perform an exclusive ladies' accessory in the same style as your clothes. It is enough to master simple knitting or crochet skills to knit a bag in one evening! Choose a simple pattern and a simple yet stylish cut.
How to knit a bag
Knitted bags are quickly and easily made from shaped and thick yarns - woolen, synthetic, blended. For a beautiful accessory, you can use not only the leftover yarn, but also specially purchased, for example, ribbon. A coarse working thread will allow the finished product to hold its shape better. Suitable relief - garter stitch, pearl pattern.
It is recommended for a beginner to knit a bag based on two rectangles of the required width and height, for example, 30x30 cm. Finish knitting the base with several rows of garter stitch or pearl pattern, close the row. Sew the details of the cut from the seamy side along the bottom edge and sides with a knitted seam, then turn out and gently straighten the product.
By the same pattern, you can crochet rectangles with single crochet or crochet. Knitting the bag in one evening will be really easy if you have chosen ribbon yarn and a large diameter working tool (# 9).
Knitted bag handles
- Knit the cord. To do this, type two pairs of loops on two stocking needles, complete the front row and move the loops to the other end without turning the work. Tighten the thread and continue on the sample. When you have the correct length of cord on the needles, sew it to the edges of the bag.
- Buy a pair of special handle rings from an hardware store. Attach them to the top edge of the bag, form a drawstring and make a connecting seam from the wrong side of the garment with a darning needle and working yarn. If desired, the ring can be crocheted, wrapped with ribbons, braid.
- Crochet an air chain to the desired length from the edge of the bag. Tie a row with single crochets and a row with a crustacean step, then attach the end of the handle to the product.
- A one-piece handle is made on the last nine rows of pearl or garter stitch. When you get to where the hole will be, close the center 19-20 sts. In the next row, cast on the same number of new loops over the closed thread arms. Finish knitting with a few rows of a pearl pattern (garter stitch).
Important details
If you want to crochet or knit the bag as quickly as possible, there is no need for additional details. If you have time, you can sew a thick fabric lining from the inside of the product, add a third cut detail - an oval or rectangular bottom, an inner pocket, a flap with a button at the top. Show a little imagination and you will become the owner of an accessory that will be at the peak of its relevance in any season.
