Crochet Poinsettia Tote Bag

 This is a simple crochet bag with nylon yarn and a 4 mm hook using Suzette Stitch. I start of with a chain of 45 + 2. The base of the bag are only single crochet. 1 single crochet in each stitch and do increase in the corner. 

The 1st round, each corner do 4 single crochet in that 1 corner stitch, so in my case it will be 45 + 4 + 4. The 2nd round, do increase (2 single crochet in 1 stitch) in each of that 4 stitches at the corner (both corner). In my case, I will have 45 +8 + 8. You can stop here and work on the Suzette stitch or do 1 more row of increase, in which I did, to get a wider base. Can't do more than that as the corner will become too roundish. 

Now to work our way upwards, do Suzette stitches. Do a chain 1, in the next stitch do a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch. Skip a stitch. In the next do a single crochet and a double crochet in the same stitch. Skip a stitch and repeat until the end. At the end of the row I did not join it with a slip stitch but instead, like an amigurumi, I continue. So it goes round and round upwards with no joining stitches. Do add a marker to remind you where is your starting point.

Work until you have the height you want and at the end, do a slip stitch and do one to two rows of single crochet to make a border for the top. If you want to make a bag strap, can refer to my other video on it but as for this bag, I crochet a wooden handle to it. 

Once it is ready, I sew the Poinsettia flower in the middle of the bag.

 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.

Crochet Flower Bag

 This is a simple flower bag made using 2 strand of yarn. It is optional, you can use 1 strand instead. I used a 4 mm hook, since it is a 2 strand yarn.

Chain 1, (sc next 2, skip 2, 5 dc in the same stitch, skip 2, sc next 2, skip 2) - repeat until the end. End with a slip stitch. 5) Chain 1, (half double crochet (hdc) in the next, dc in the next, dc inc - 3 sets, dc, hdc) - this makes 1 petal, so now repeat until the end and you will get 6 petals. 6) Chain 1, [ hdc, dc, (dc inc, dc) - 3 sets, dc, hdc ] - repeat until the end. 7) Chain 1, [ hdc, dc, (dc inc, dc, dc inc) - 3 sets, dc, hdc ] - repeat until the end Make 2 of the abo...
