Skilled level: Advanced beginner.

This pattern starts with the bottom, then the body

and the handle.

After that, adding the ribbon to the bag as the

final touch.

Watch the videos as they contain important

information and details that are helpful!!!

Use a stitch marker to keep the same amount of

stitches each row.

Crochet with your right side out for all parts,

meaning the tail from the foundation row is facing

left.

Ch 1 counts as turning chain and Ch 3 counts as 1

dc.

Ch 3 = 1 dc = 1 stitch

Ch 3 at the end of the row = 1st stitch for the dc

row.

In all dc rows, start from the 2nd stitch.

Weave in the loose ends as work progresses.

You can add a lining if using soft yarn so it doesn’t

stretch too much.

Description

This is similar to the Jacob’s ladder stitch yet the

Jacob’s ladder stitch starts with dc and we start

with sc here.

The Jacob's ladder stitch is done in the multiples of

odd number. (In this case, we are working with the

multiples of 9, so 9 stitches as 1 group.)

For examples, if you want to make the bag in a

smaller size, work with multiples of 7. 7 stitches as 1

group. Then there should be 6 stitches between

the chains and ch 10 in the 7th stitch.

If you change the number of the stitches, change

the size of the bottom. (Inc or dec the number of

row)

Stitch

l i

On the other hand, if you want to make the bag

in a bigger size, work with the multiples of 11 (or

even bigger odd number). 11 stitches as 1 group.

Then there should be 10 stitches between the

chains and ch 10 in the 11th stitch.

Ch 10

Push the hook through

the last sc like so when you

sl st after ch 10.

Yarn over your hook

and pull through all the

loops left on the hook.

In the 2nd row, when dc on

the stitch with the chains,

yarn over, push the hook

from the back to the front,

and go through the middle

of the loop, then finish it like

a regular dc.

Foundation row: Chain 15.

Row 1: Dc in the 4th ch from

your hook, dc 11, ch 3 and TO.

Row 2: Dc 12 across the row, ch

3 and TO.

Repeat Row 2 14 more times,

for a total of 16 rows, and fasten

off.

Stitch count: 13 sts for each

row. (Including the ch 3)

Size would be around 8 cm x

21.5 cm.
