The Herringbone Crochet Drawstring Bag is a delightful and practical project that’s both enjoyable and satisfying to make.

You’ll create this bag from a simple rectangle using the lovely herringbone crochet stitch, which gives it a unique texture and an elegant look.

The construction involves making a casing for the drawstring, sewing the edges together with a mattress stitch, and adding crochet I-cords for the drawstring and strap. These steps are a great way to practice and refine your crochet skills.

The bag is perfect for everyday use, whether as a stylish purse or a handy project bag for your crochet and knitting supplies. Its charm and functionality make it a wonderful addition to any wardrobe or crafting collection.

The pattern uses US crochet terminology.

Notes:
1.The pattern uses US Terminology.

  1. The bag is made from a rectangle using the herringbone crochet stitch.
  2. The bag is worked lengthways which means that the foundation chain equals the height of the bag.
  3. The pattern incorporates two different crochet hook sizes in each row. This variation in hook sizes is essential for achieving a neat and professional finish for the bag’s opening. Make sure to switch between these hooks as indicated in the pattern for the desired results.
  4. You can use yarn in different weights, but be aware that the measurements will be different depending on your gauge.
