Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
- Check yarn info if you want to find an alternative or test your yarn against the gauge. Learn more about substituting yarn.
- This pattern is written for 1 size. Size adjustments are added under the heading “Sizes & Measurements”.
- Gauge isn’t that important for this tutorial. It can be made in any size & the size can be adjusted by editing starting stitches. However, note that any change in size, affects how much yarn you’ll need.
- At the end of each row, the stitch count is given in parenthesis. It includes 1 start stitch (explained below).

Techniques You Will Need
Crocheting In The Front Loop
In this crochet pattern you need to know how to crochet in the front loop only.
This means that you will not crochet through the whole stitch as usual. A typical stitch contains two loops. One in the front, nearest you, and another stitch in the back, furthest away from you. One is called the front loop (the one nearest you), the other one the back loop, the one furthest away from you.
These stitches are abbreviated with FL in front of their regular abbreviation.
Instructions for the Crochet Shopping Bag
Make 20 st using the FSC technique.
Notice: You’re making stitches to work in on both sides when using the FSC technique. The side you’re making with the crochet hook is the side you’d typically continue to crochet in, if you turn & continue. This will be called the regular side. However the other side or the opposite side will be the first side to crochet in on this project.
Round 1 with CA: Without turning, sl st directly in FL of opposite side of last FSC made, sl st in FL of all st on opposite side, 19 st + the first sl st. Sl st in FL of all st on the regular side, 20 st, do not end round (=40 st).
Round 2 with CA: 1 start stitch over 2 st, DTCS 1 over 2 st in all st from prev round, sl st in start stitch from beg of round (=20 st).
Round 3 with CA: 1 start stitch over 1 stitch, DTCS 1 over 1 stitch in all st from prev round, sl st in start stitch from beg of round (=20 st).
Round 4 with CA: Repeat round 3.
Round 5-6 with CB: Repeat round 3.
Round 7 with CA: Ch 1, sc 1 in start stitch from prev round, sc 2 in all st from prev round, sl st in first ch (=40 st).
Round 8 with CB: Ch 1, sc 1 in the next 5 st, FSC 20 st (making first handle), sk 8 st, sc 1 in the next 12 st, FSC 20 st (making second handle), sk 8 st, sc 1 in the next 6 st, sl st in first ch.
Fasten off & cut yarn.
Finishing
Fasten threads & weave in ends.
