Ribbed Bag / Shell Bag

 Some called it ribbed bag some, shell bag. You can customize one. I used multi color t-shirt yarn and a 6 mm hook. Besides t-shirt yarn, you can use nylon yarn or ribbon yarn or maybe cotton yarn too. This time round I used a plastic bag handle instead.


The tutorial video : 



1) I started with a chain 24. You can start with a lesser or more chain to make the bag bigger or smaller. Next step, do single crochet (sc) until the end of the row in which I have 23 stitches.  [total 23]

2) Chain (ch) 1, turn the work. From now on work only on the back loop. Sc in the next 10 stitches. 2 sc in the same stitch (inc) in the next 3. Sc in the next 10.      [total 26]

3) Ch 1, turn, sc in the next 12, inc next 3, sc in the next 11.     [total 29]

4) Ch 1, turn, sc next 13, inc next 3, sc next 13.     [total 32]

5) Ch1, turn, sc next 14, inc next 3, sc next 15.     [total 35]

6) Ch 1, turn, sc next 16, inc next 3, sc next 16     [total 38]

7] Ch 1, turn, sc next 18, inc next 3, sc next 17     [total 41]

8) Ch 1, turn, sc next 19, inc next 3, sc next 19     [total 44]

9) Ch 1, turn, sc next 20, inc next 3, sc next 21     [total 47]

10) Ch 1, turn sc next 22, inc next 3, sc next 22     [total 50]

11) Ch 1, turn and sc next 50     [total 50]    Repeat until you reach the width / length that you want.

Once you have reach the width / length that you want, will start to do decease (dec), that is do 2 together.

1) Ch 1, turn sc next 22, dec next 3, sc next 22     [total 47]

2) Ch 1, turn, sc next 20, dec next 3, sc next 21     [total 44]

3) Ch 1, turn, sc next 19, dec next 3, sc next 19     [total 41]

4) Ch 1, turn, sc next 18, dec next 3, sc next 17     [total 38]

5) Ch 1, turn, sc next 16, dec next 3, sc next 16     [total 35]

6) Ch1, turn, sc next 14, dec next 3, sc next 15.     [total 32]

7) Ch 1, turn, sc next 13, dec next 3, sc next 13.     [total 29]

8) Ch 1, turn, sc next 12, dec next 3, sc next 11.     [total 26]

9) Ch 1, turn, sc next 10, dec next 3, sc next 10     [total 23]

10) Ch 1, turn, sc until the end of the row     [total 23]


The number of increase row and the number of decrease row have to be the same. If you choose to do only 5 rows of increase, make sure you do 5 rows of decrease. Now the top part of the bag, I do sc all around. Next row I do slip stitch (ss) only on the back loop. Every 3 ss, skip a stitch. Repeat until the end. The next 5 rows, do ss on the back loop, all around. The last row do sc on the back loop all around and add the bag strap too. In my case, is a plastic bag handle that look like bamboo.
