Beautiful crochet cute mini bag tutorial

Great! Here’s a more detailed step-by-step guide to crochet the cute mini bag shown in this image, including stitch counts, row-by-row instructions, and assembly tips. This guide assumes basic crochet knowledge (like chaining and single crochet), but I’ll explain each part clearly.

🧶 Materials:

Yarn: Medium-weight acrylic or cotton yarn (e.g., size 4)
Hook: 3.5 mm to 4.0 mm crochet hook
Notions: Yarn needle, scissors, optional keychain ring, and small bow embellishment

✨ Abbreviations (US Terms):

CH = Chain
SC = Single Crochet
ST = Stitch
SK = Skip
SL ST = Slip Stitch
FO = Fasten Off

🧵 Step 1: Make the Front Panel

Foundation:

CH 11 (this creates the width of the bag)

Row 1:

SC in 2nd CH from hook, SC in each ST across (10 SC total)
CH 1, turn

Row 2 to Row 8:

SC in each ST across (10 SC)
CH 1, turn after each row

➡️ You can add more rows here to increase the height of the bag (e.g., 10–12 rows total).

👜 Step 2: Create the Handle (Row 9)

This row will create the handle opening in the middle.

Row 9:

SC in first 3 ST
CH 4 (this creates the handle hole)
SK 4 ST
SC in last 3 ST (you now have a gap in the middle)
CH 1, turn

🔄 Step 3: Finish the Handle (Row 10)

Row 10:

SC in first 3 ST
SC 4 times into the CH-4 space (you can SC around the chain or into it—your choice)
SC in last 3 ST
FO and weave in ends

Now you have the front panel of your mini bag!

🔁 Step 4: Back Panel

Repeat Step 1 only (Rows 1–8) to create a solid back panel without a handle.

➡️ If you prefer, you can fold the front panel in half instead of creating a separate back panel.

🧷 Step 5: Join the Panels

Place front and back panels together, wrong sides facing in.
Join yarn at the top side edge and SC through both layers along the side → bottom → side (3 edges).
FO and weave in ends.

🎀 Step 6: Embellishment (Optional)

Sew a small bow (fabric or crochet) onto the front panel.
Use a yarn needle and small stitches to attach.
If making a keychain, attach a jump ring or chain through the handle hole.
