This Crochet Beach Bag, is for sure a popular bag crochet pattern.

The Litus Crochet Beach Bag is perfect for excursions to the beach (as the name suggests), but also works well as a crocheted market bag or project bag.

It’s quite natural that the bag stretches a little when you use it & that means you can fit all the beach essentials in the bag!

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?


How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?

Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.

It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.

All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.

Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.

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 measure 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.

Stitches You Will Need 


You will need to use chain stitches, single crochet, double crochet stitch & slip stitch.

Techniques You Will Need 


CROCHETING IN THE Back LOOP:

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. For this pattern you will crochet stitches through the back loop.

These stitches are abbreviated with BL in front of their regular abbreviation.

As an example, see the tutorial on single crochet stitches crocheted in the back loop here: Back Loop Single Crochet Stitch Tutorial
