Step-by-Step Pattern

Step 1: Starting the Magic Ring Base

• Form a magic ring with your thread around two fingers crossing the ends in an X.
• Insert hook under the X, pull yarn, chain 3 (counts as first dc).
• Make 15 double crochets (dc) inside the ring together with the initial 3 chains count (total 16 dc).
• Pull yarn to close ring tight.

Step 2: Closing Round 1

• Slip stitch (sl st) into the 3rd chain of the beginning chain 3 to finish the round.

Step 3: Row 2 – Begin Relief Stitch Pattern

• Chain 3 (counts as first dc).
• Relief double crochet (back post dc) + normal dc alternately across the round:
  • Insert hook behind the post of the previous row’s chain 3 and dc (relief dc).
  • Next stitch: dc normally (in the top loops).
• Continue alternating these stitches around (total 32 stitches = 16 relief + 16 normal).
• Finish with a slip stitch into the 3rd chain.

Step 4: Row 3 – Increasing with Relief Stitch

• Chain 3 (first dc).
• Increase between relief stitches:
  • Work 2 dc into same stitch between relief stitches to increase.
• Working relief dc on relief stitches, increase dc between them, repeat around.
• Finish with slip stitch; total stitches increase to 48.

Step 5: Row 4 – Continue Pattern with Increase

• Chain 3, relief dc on front of relief, increase dc between stitches, working pattern similar to Row 3.
• Total stitches: 64.

Step 6: Row 5 – Increase and Relief Stitch Sequence

• Chain 3, work two single stitches then increase using 2 dc in one stitch, relief stitch on relief stitches, repeat.
• Total stitches: 80.

Step 7: Row 6 – No Increases, Straight Relief Pattern

• Chain 3; work relief dc and normal dc over each stitch without increases.
• Total stitches: 80.

Step 8: Row 7 – Resuming Increases

• Chain 3; work 3 normal dc in a row then increase (2 dc in one stitch), repeat with relief stitches in between.
• Total stitches: 96.

Step 9: Row 8 – Front Loop Only dc and Relief Stitches

• Chain 3; work double crochets picking only front loops, leaving back loop free.
• Relief dc and 5 normal dc alternately over front loops to create texture.
• Total stitches: 96.

Step 10: Row 9 – Final Row Formation with Increases and Relief

• Chain 3; make 4 dc in single stitch at center point to increase; work 2 normal dc on sides, relief stitches with single crochet, repeat.
• Skip first 3 chains; slip stitch to finish row.
• Leave a long thread tail, work an invisible finish by pulling yarn through back loop stitches and knot securely.

Step 11: Measure & Finish Crochet Body

• The piece should measure approx. 27 cm in diameter.

Step 12: Crochet Side and Bottom Bands

• Insert hook into free back loops from previous rows.
• Chain 3 (counts as dc height), work dc evenly around base edge for 72 stitches.
• Work 3 rows of dc with chains of 3 to establish side and bottom band.
• Finish off, weave in ends, and seal with lighter.

Step 13: Prepare Two Equal Bands

• Repeat step 12 to create two identical side/bottom bands.

Step 14: Lining Fabric Preparation

• Choose fabric slightly larger than bag.
• Place bag centered on fabric and mark outline with 1 cm seam allowance.
• Cut fabric accordingly.
• 
• Fold seam allowance and pin fabric inside the bag, ensuring alignment of fabric edges just below the stitch straps on crochet.

Step 15: Sewing Fabric Lining

• With needle and thread, sew through fabric and stitch straps on crochet bag, forming secure lining installation.
• Fold and sew all seams neat, leaving stitch straps free for later assembly.

Step 16: Sewing Bag Body

• Position crochet body pieces right sides facing for sewing.
• Using tapestry needle and 2 meters of yarn, stitch through free stitch straps on both sides (#72 stitches per side), joining body and bands tightly.
• Knot securely at ends, weave ends inside and seal with lighter.

Step 17: Creating Bag Edge Border

• Join yarn at corner edge of bag near row 3 of relief stitches.
• Chain 1 and work 6 single crochets (sc) evenly around corner edge.
• Continue sc rows, skipping 1 stitch at each of the 4 corners to create slight contour shaping.
• After 4 rows of this edging, slip stitch and finish with invisible finish.

Step 18: Folding Edge & Attaching Magnetic Buttons

• Fold edging inward to hide raw edges and prepare flap.
• Attach gold 18 mm magnetic buttons at center flap area, securing latches tightly (use pliers or tool if needed).
• Attach opposite magnet on corresponding backside of flap.

Step 19: Attaching Flap to Bag

• Using nylon sewing thread and needle, sew flap securely along the edge onto the bag.
• Use close stitches to keep an invisible look.

Step 20: Attach Articulated Rings & Handles

• Sew 30 mm articulated rings on bag sides as handles attachments.
• Attach eco-friendly handles securely.

Tutor’s Suggestions:

• Use stitch markers to keep track of rounds and increases.
• Adjust hook size based on your stitch tension to maintain bag shape.
• When sewing, pull yarn firmly to avoid gaps but avoid puckering.

• Test magnet button placement carefully before final attaching.

Uses:

• Perfect everyday tote or structured handbag.
• Stylish accessory suitable for casual or formal occasions.
