Prior considerations
This bag pattern consists of four parts:
- Main body
- Two sides
- Chain-strap
The tapestry crochet technique is applied, which allows colors to be intertwined without cutting strands. This improves the durability of the design and the visual cleanliness of the fabric. Remember: sequences between asterisks must be repeated until the end of each row.
Bag body (4 mm hook)
Sequence: Alternate 1 sc and 1 dc
At the end of each row: turn work, start with 1 chain (does not count as a stitch)
- Start: base chain of 44 ch
- Rows 1 to 57: repeat 1 sc and 1 dc according to the chart
- Finish: cut, fasten off, and hide tail
Decorative border
With color 842:
- First round: sc all around the perimeter except the top
- Second round: turn work, ch 1 and crochet over the previous sc
Sides (x2) — 4 mm hook
With shade 842:
- Base chain: 4 ch
- Rows 1 to 28: 4 sc per row
Fold the bag body, leaving:
- 7 squares for the front
- 1 for the base
- 7 for the back
- 4 for the flap
Use a tapestry needle to sew the sides.
Chain-type strap (3.5 mm hook)
For a chain-type strap:
- Crochet 11 links (adjustable)
- Each link starts with 25 ch, closed with sl st
- Rows 1 to 6: 25 sc
- Insert the previous link before closing the next one
- Join both ends with rings or by sewing
Finished bag dimensions
- Width: 28 cm
- Height: 20 cm
- Depth: 3.5 cm
- Strap: 60 cm
You can adapt these dimensions by modifying the base chain or the number of rows.

Frequently asked questions about the square crochet bag pattern
Is it suitable for all skill levels?
Yes. Although it uses tapestry crochet, the stitches (ch, sl st, sc, dc) are basic. With uniform tension, the design reveals itself from the first rows.
How to adjust the size of the bag without affecting the design?
You can modify the base chain and the number of rows, always maintaining the proportions. This will preserve the shape of the square crochet bag pattern.
What type of yarn is most suitable?
Caricia Nature Sport is ideal: it offers defined texture, lightness, and structure. Using the suggested colors helps maintain a visually harmonious result.
How to handle color changes?
Tips for clean tapestry work:
- Maintain consistent tension
- Carry strands inside the fabric
- Align changes on a single edge
- Perform final blocking to perfect the finish
Can a lining or closure be added?
Yes. A cotton lining improves durability. You can add button, magnet, or zipper closures, sewing them to the lining or flap without altering the pattern.
How to adapt the strap for a cross-body bag?
You only need to increase the number of links or crochet a longer strap in single crochet or half double crochet for a more minimalist design.
How to care for your crocheted bag?
Key instructions:
- Hand wash with cold water
- Do not wring
- Dry flat
- Remove lining if it is removable
- Store filled with paper or soft cloth
