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.

Sponge Bob Square Bag

This is a tapestry bag. A simple square bag make using cotton yarn. In order to make the Sponge Bob look realistic, I follow the color of a poster I found online. I can't remember the name of the blue or the yellow etc. Just use my eyes to see which blue matches the blue in the character. The tutorial video : The poster that I got from the internet look like this : Abbreviation : G = green W = white R = red M = Maroon Bk = black B = blue P = pink Y = yellow The blue that use on the side and the back panel is of a different blue from the above. I start with a row of the other blue (a lighter blue). This blue row is a chain of 49. The whole bag is just single crochet. The 2nd row onwards is the Sponge Bob color, as in when to change to which color. The pattern below, my 1) is actually the 2nd row and the color I mention is from right to left, like how we crochet. The num...
