Materials Needed:
- 100% cotton yarn in black and white
- Optional third color
- 2 mm crochet hook
- Scissors
- Tapestry needle
- Zipper
- Pins
Foundation:
Start with a slip knot and create a foundation chain with an odd number of stitches.
The chain length should be slightly shorter than your zipper, considering it will stretch.
Body Pattern:
Rows 1-6: Alternate 1 single crochet (sc) and 1 double crochet (dc) across the row, ending with 1 dc. Switch colors every row.
Round 7: Make 1 standing sc into the 8th stitch (into the double crochet of the previous row) and continue the pattern.
Rows 8-20: Switch colors and work 13 more rows (14 in total, including the 7th row).
Rows 21-32: Complete the dc and chain 9. Then, work 1 sc into the second chain stitch, followed by 1 dc. Continue the pattern, switching colors as you go.
Rows 33-46: Repeat row 7.
Rows 47-52: Repeat the first 6 rows.
Finishing:
Weave in all yarn tails.
Sew the zipper onto the right side of your crochet piece. Ensure both parts are aligned.
Sew the two sides of the bag together, remembering to open the zipper while sewing.
Sew the remaining parts together.
Turn the bag inside out and arrange the corners.
Optional: Add embellishments to the zipper edge, such as beads or a tassel.
