Crochet tote bags are all the rage these days, and Prada has come out with their own version of this trendy accessory. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make your very own Prada crochet tote bag.
Materials:
– 4 skeins of medium weight yarn in your desired color
– 5mm crochet hook
– Scissors
– Tapestry needle
Step 1:
Start by chaining 31 stitches. This will be the base of your bag.
Step 2:
Turn your work and single crochet in the second chain from the hook. Single crochet in each stitch across until you reach the end.
Step 3:
Chain one and turn your work. Single crochet in each stitch across.
Step 4:
Repeat step 3 until you have created a panel that measures approximately 16 inches in length.
Creating the Sides
Step 5:
Fold your panel in half, with right sides facing each other. Slip stitch through both layers to close up one side of the bag.
Step 6:
Turn your work so that the remaining open side is facing you. Single crochet around the edge of this opening, creating stitches about every inch or so.
Note:
Be sure to place two single crochets in each corner stitch to create a smooth edge.
Step 7:
Once you have made it all around the opening, slip stitch to join and cut off any excess yarn.
The Handles
Step 8:
For each handle, chain approximately 100 stitches. The length can vary depending on how long you want your handles to be.
Note:
If you want shorter handles, chain fewer stitches. If you want longer handles, chain more stitches.
Step 9:
Slip stitch into the fourth chain from the hook to create a small loop.
Step 10:
Step 11:
Repeat step 10 until your handle measures approximately 1 inch in width.
Step 12:
Once your handle is the desired length and width, attach it to your bag by slip stitching it onto the sides of your bag.
The Finishing Touches
Once both handles are attached, weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Trim off any excess yarn and your Prada crochet tote bag is complete!
