A "Dragon" Angpau Sling Bag

 This is a simple puff stitch angpau sling bag. You can use it as a handphone bag too. This time round, I added a dragon head in front, since it will be a dragon year, in the coming Chinese New Year. I used a 8 ply cotton yarn and a 5 mm hook. 


The tutorial video : 



Bag Pattern

1) I start by making a foundation chain of 17. Chain 1 and go to the 2nd stitch from the hook and do single crochet (sc). Do 1 sc in each stitch, repeat until the end of the row. All in 15 sc. In the last stitch, do 3 sc in the same stitch. By now you would have turn your work. Now do sc in each stitch until the end of the row, in which you will have 15 stitches. In the last stitch, do 3 sc in that stitch. All in you should have 36 stitches.

2) Row 2 you will start the puff stitch. Start with a chain 2, do a double crochet (dc) in the next. and another dc in the following stitch. Yarn over and go to the stitch at the bottom of that 1st dc and do a puff stitch. (refer to video for better understanding). Then skip one, do a dc in the next 2 stitches. After the 2 dc, do a puff stitch. Repeat all around. You should have 6 puff on each side of the bag. End it with a slip stich to the 1st puff stitch. 

3) Row 3 do sc all around. 

4) Row 4 do puff stitch again like in row 2.

Repeat in this manner until you come to the length that you want. As for my case, I sew a Dragon Head in front of the bag. The Dragon Head is in the earlier post and video. This is optional. Sew a bag strap of your choice and you will have a lovely sling bag. Hope you find this pattern interesting. You can check out my bag strap pattern in my earlier posts.
