 Description
Skilled level: Advanced beginner.
This pattern starts with the bottom, then the body
and the handle.
After that, adding the ribbon to the bag as the
final touch.
Watch the videos as they contain important
information and details that are helpful!!!
Use a stitch marker to keep the same amount of
stitches each row.
Crochet with your right side out for all parts,
meaning the tail from the foundation row is facing
left.
Ch 1 counts as turning chain and Ch 3 counts as 1
dc.
Ch 3 = 1 dc = 1 stitch
Ch 3 at the end of the row = 1st stitch for the dc
row.
In all dc rows, start from the 2nd stitch.
Weave in the loose ends as work progresses.
You can add a lining if using soft yarn so it doesn’t
stretch too much.
 Stitch

This is similar to the Jacob’s ladder stitch yet the

Jacob’s ladder stitch starts with dc and we start
with sc here.
The Jacob's ladder stitch is done in the multiples of
odd number. (In this case, we are working with the
multiples of 9, so 9 stitches as 1 group.)
For examples, if you want to make the bag in a
smaller size, work with multiples of 7. 7 stitches as 1
group. Then there should be 6 stitches between
the chains and ch 10 in the 7th stitch.
On the other hand, if you want to make the bag
in a bigger size, work with the multiples of 11 (or
even bigger odd number). 11 stitches as 1 group.
Then there should be 10 stitches between the
chains and ch 10 in the 11th stitch.
If you change the number of the stitches, change
the size of the bottom. (Inc or dec the number of
row)
1. Ch 10 2. Push the hook through
the last sc like so when you
sl st after ch 10.

3. Yarn over your hook In the 2nd row, when dc on

and pull through all the the stitch with the chains,
loops left on the hook. yarn over, push the hook
from the back to the front,
and go through the middle
of the loop, then finish it like
a regular dc.

After you finish 2 handles, roll up all the chains.
Then you may sc/ sl st/ sew the handles together,
with wrong sides facing up.
Include the last 2 chains from both handles
when you connect the handles.
Do NOT cut off the yarn, ch 1, and sc across the
edges for both sides.
Remember to sc evenly.
After finishing one side, fasten off. Attach the yarn
to the other side where the handles are connected,
ch 1, sc across, and combine the chains.
