Crochet Strawberry Tapestry Tote Bag

This is a medium size bag with linen and zip on top. You can make it smaller or even bigger. Just add more rows on the foundation chain. The strawberry pattern is in a multiple of 14. I started with a chain 29 and end up with 84 stitches in the end of the bag base and I get 6 strawberries in each row.

The tutorial video :

The bag base

I used a darker color for the base (optional). Chain 29. Single crochet (sc) on the 2nd stitch from the hook (add a marker), sc next 26 stitches, sc 4 on the last stitch. By now already turn back work. Now sc next 26 stitches, 3 sc into the same stitch as the first stitch (the one with the marker).

On the marker stitch, do 2 sc in one (inc) and add a marker on the 1st stitch. Sc next 26 stitches, inc on the next 4 stitches, sc next 26 stitches, inc in the remaining 3 stitches.

Do inc in the next 2 starting from the marker stitch. Sc next 26 stitches, inc in the next 8, sc next 26 stitches, inc in the balance 6 stitches.

In general it means that the length, in my case is always 26 stitches and the 2 ends continue to do increase, from 4 to 8 then to 16. So if you want a bigger bag with a bigger base, just do increase in the same manner.

I stop at 84 stitches all around. Now to start the tapestry strawberry, I used white (yellowish white), red and green. Below I attached the diagram of 1 strawberry. Up to you how you want to space it around. You can get a piece of paper with grid boxes or you can get a software or excel file to draw your strawberry. Maybe you can just follow my lead (my pattern) in the tutorial video.

Peony Flower

This is a big flower compare to the other crochet flowers. You will need cotton yarn, wire and some flower making green tape. I also added a chop stick, or you can use any wood or metal, to hold the flower as it is quite heavy with so many petals and wire. I used 3 different colors for the whole flower. The tutorial video : The Core Part (use yellow yarn) 1) Chain 9, do 3 single crochet (sc) in the 2nd stitch from the hook, sc in the next, slip stitch (ss) until the end, which you will have 6 ss all in. Chain 9 and repeat the whole thing, all in 8 sets. 2) Chain 10, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 7 ss. Make 9 sets. 3) Chain 11, 3 sc in the 2nd stitch from the hook. Sc in the next and ss in the following stitches until the end of the chain, all in 8 ss. Make 10 sets. 4) Chain 1, do sc on the next 27 stitches on the base. 5) Chain 1, turn the work, [sc in the next 2, do a 2 together (dec)] - 6 sets,

Tiny Top Hat

This Top Hat is tiny enough for my amigurumi. Preferable black in color but for tutorial video sake, I did a brown one too. I used cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. It is very easy to make. The tutorial video : Top Hat 1) Magic ring with 6 single crochet (sc) into ring [total 6] 2) 2 sc in each, all around [total 12] 3) (Sc in next 3, 2 sc in next stitch) repeat all around [total 15] 4) Sc all around (only on back loop) [total 15] 5) - 8) Sc all around [total 15] 9) 2 sc in each stitch, all around the front loop only [total 30] You can cut yarn now, either you leave a long tail for sewing or weave in the tail. Hope you make lovely hats for your amigurumi. Do remember to subscribe to my Youtube channel and follow me on Facebook , Shopee , Tiktok and Instagram . Thank you for your support.

Crochet Mooncake

This is my second crochet mooncake. This pattern is different from my first crochet mooncake. I made two version. One with lace yarn and a 2 mm hook and another with cotton yarn and a 3 mm hook. The lace yarn mooncake is smaller than the cotton yarn mooncake due to the size of the yarn and hook yet both are equally lovely and look quite like the real thing. The tutorial video : Mooncake (make 2 - top piece and bottom piece) 1) Start with a magic ring. Make 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring [total 8] 2) Make 2 sc into each stitch (inc) [total 16] 3) (Sc, inc) - 8X only on the back loop [total 24] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 4) (Sc, inc, sc) - 8X [total 37] 5) (Sc next 3, inc) - 8X only on the back loop [total 40] - If bottom piece, no need back loop only 6) (Sc next 2, inc, sc next 2) - 8X [total 48] 7) (Sc, half double crochet (hdc) next 2, 2 double crochet (dc) in the same stitch, hdc next 2, sc, slip stitch) - 6X After complete the top piece,
