How to Crochet the Coraline Bag✨ | Beginner-Friendly Crochet Bag Tutorial + Pattern
Hello!
This beginner-friendly bag features a gorgeous "beachy, sea-side" aesthetic. It is designed to work up incredibly quickly, making it a perfect weekend project. The unique texture is created using the "Drunken Granny" shell stitch, which creates a beautiful zigzag effect.
There is a detailed tutorial for the same on my YouTube Channel which you can check out here.
Materials:
- Yarn – Fine acrylic yarn in two colors blue and white (approx. 50gms each)
- You can switch this with a medium weight yarn instead if you want to use only one strand of yarn
- Hook – 5.5mm hook or the recommended one
- Scissors
- Stitch Marker
- Ribbon (1 cm wide)
Abbreviations:
- st/sts – stitch/stitches
- ch – chain
- sc - single crochet
- dc – double crochet
- sk st - skip stitch
- sl st – slip stitch
- ch-sp - chain space
With two strands held together
Round 1:
- Ch 31.
- Sc in the back bump of the 2nd ch from hook and in each ch across until the last ch - (29 sc)
- In the last ch, work 4 sc. Mark the 2nd and 3rd sc of this 4-sc group with stitch markers.
- Working down the opposite side of the chain:
- Sc in each ch across.
- In the very last ch (the same one you started in), work 3 sc.
- Mark the last two stitches of this round. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
Round 2:
- Ch 1.
- Sc in each st until you reach the first marker.
- Work 2 sc into each of the 2 marked stitches (4 sc total in that corner).
- Sc in each st until you reach the next set of markers.
- Work 2 sc into each of the 2 marked stitches.
- Join with a sl st to the first sc
Round 3:
- * Ch 1
- In the same st as join, work:
- [1 dc, ch 2, 3 dc]
- Skip 4 sts.
- In the 5th st, work:
- [1 dc, ch 2, 3 dc] *
- Repeat from * to * around.
- Join with a sl st to the first dc.
Round 4:
- * Ch 1, mark this ch, and TURN your work.
- Identify the first ch-2 space (on your left).
- In that space, work:
- [1 dc, ch 2, 3 dc].
- In the next ch-2 space, work:
- [1 dc, ch 2, 3 dc] *
- Repeat from * to * around.
- Join with a sl st to the marked ch-1.
Round 5:
- Repeat Round 4, making sure to turn your work at the start of every round.
- Note: The one I made has 11 rounds of shells (13 rounds total including the base).
Turning the work every round is what creates the "zigzag" look of the shells. If you forget to turn, the shells will stack straight instead of leaning!
