Chevron Gift Bag

I love this crochet bag! I saw a similar photo on TEMU and I knew I had to make one. Furthermore, I did make a large bag initially, but I am going to focus this as a gift bag. When you tie the top shut, the four points meet to close up the bag. I also have a YouTube video for this bag.

sc = single crochet

ch = chain

sc3tog = single crochet 3 together

You will need:

Thick weight yarn or 2 medium weight yarn held together

size I hook or 5.5 mm

yarn needle

scissors

stitch markers (optional, it could help keep track of the corners)

Start off my making a magic ring or ch 3 or 4 join to make a ring

Round 1: 8 sc in the ring, (pull ring shut if using a magic ring) join with a slip stitch to the first sc, ch 1 and TURN

Round 2: sc in the sc you joined with, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next stitch, 3 sc in the next sc* around, join with the first sc, ch 1 and turn

Note: You can but a stitch marker in the second single crochet of the 3 sc group, that is the corner.

Round 3: sc in the sc you joined with, sc in the next stitch, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next 3 sc, 3 sc in the next sc* around end with sc in the last sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 1 and turn

Round 4: sc in the sc you joined with, sc in the next 2 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next 5 sc, 3 sc in the next sc* around end with sc in the last 2 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 1 and turn

Round 5: sc in the sc you joined with, sc in the next 3 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next 7 sc, 3 sc in the next sc* around end with sc in the last 3 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 1 and turn

Round 6: sc in the sc you joined with, sc in the next 4 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next 9 sc, 3 sc in the next sc* around end with sc in the last 4 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 1 and turn

Round 7: sc in the sc you joined with, sc in the next 5 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next 11 sc, 3 sc in the next sc* around end with sc in the last 5 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 1 and turn

Note: in the video tutorial, I changed color yarn at the end of this round. I drew up the new color as I joined with the beginning sc. I changed colors every ever 2 rows.

Round 8: sc in the sc you joined with, sc in the next 6 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next 13 sc, 3 sc in the next sc* around end with sc in the last 6 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 2 and turn

Round 9: Do a beginning sc3tog: insert the hook in the last sc of the previous row and draw up a loop, insert your hook in sc you joined with and draw up a loop, and insert your hook in the next sc and draw up a loop. yarn over and draw through all 4 loops. sc in the next 6 sc, 3 sc in the next sc,* sc in the next 6 sc, sc3tog,3 sc in the next sc* around and end with 6 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 2 and turn

You are going to repeat this last round until you get the desired height.

The bag I did in the video, I did 8 more rows. Finish off

For the ties:

join with a slip stitch at the tip of one of the chevrons, make a chain of 100 (or desired tie length), slip stitch with next chevron tip. repeat for the remaining two chevrons.

I made this bag a little bigger and used one strand of thicker weight cotton yarn

Pattern for the slightly larger bag:

Round 10: sc in the sc you joined with, sc in the next 8 sc, 3 sc in the next sc, *sc in the next 17 sc, 3 sc in the next sc* around end with sc in the last 8 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 2 and turn

Round 11: Do a beginning sc3tog: insert the hook in the last sc of the previous row and draw up a loop, insert your hook in sc you joined with and draw up a loop, and insert your hook in the next sc and draw up a loop. yarn over and draw through all 4 loops. sc in the next 8 sc, 3 sc in the next sc,* sc in the next 8 sc, sc3tog,3 sc in the next sc* around and end with 8 sc of the round, join with the first sc, ch 2 and turn. I did about 18 rows

Do the ties the same as the smaller bag.
