Materials

Yarn: 12-ply polyester yarn (consume about 140–150 grams).
-
Hook: 3 mm crochet hook.
-
Base: A pre-made leather base (or crochet your own base).
-
Frame: A 10.5 cm arc frame kiss lock metal frame (beaded frame).
-
Tag: A handmade tag (optional).
-
Sewing: Nylon thread (fishing line) or invisible thread for attaching the frame.
-
Tools: Tapestry needle, scissors, long-nose pliers (for knotting nylon thread), and a lighter (for securing nylon ends).
Special Features
-
Spike Stitch Texture: Employ the long single crochet/spike stitch alternating with a regular single crochet to create a dense, vertical, and ribbed texture.
-
Structured Base: Utilize a pre-made leather base to provide immediate structure and stability to the bottom of the bag.
-
Kiss Lock Closure: Integrate a metal kiss lock frame for a secure and vintage-inspired closure.
-
Seamless Body: Work the main body in continuous spiral rounds to avoid a noticeable seam line.
Level of Difficulty
This project is for Intermediate crocheters. While it uses only single crochet variations, working into the base holes, managing continuous spiral rounds, and executing the Spike Stitch pattern accurately requires practice.
Tutor’s Suggestions
-
Hook Size for Frame: Ensure your hook size allows you to work stitches through the small holes of the metal frame.
-
Starting Technique: The tutor uses a specialized technique to start on the leather base, avoiding a starting knot. If this is difficult, you can start with a slip knot and then insert the hook from front to back to secure the loop.
-
Tension Control: Do not worry if your work initially appears to curve inward (“Korean” effect). This is normal; continue crocheting, and the height will straighten the bag’s shape.
-
Frame Attachment: Before sewing the frame, carefully check that the crochet fabric is centered and that the excess fabric on both sides is even. Sew the frame using a running stitch, doubling back to the starting point to lock the thread.

Tip
Pre-Stretch and Form: Before and after attaching the metal frame, stretch and pull the crochet fabric gently to help set the form and correct any minor unevenness.
