Handbags are a very charming fashion accessory. In different shapes and materials, they have become a must-have in every woman's wardrobe as they allow you to give an extremely feminine touch to any outfit.
What we are creating today is a day model. With a checkered pattern and without a button or zipper: the closure is magical and super simple because it's a Japanese knot bag!
Here we have three colour variations of Ariel, the yarn chosen for this basket stitch bag. On the shop, you have many other colour variants.
We recommend using Ariel yarn for this project. With any other yarn, the result will not be as magnificent.
MATERIALS
Ariel yarn col. Atlantic 350 g / 12.3 oz
Crochet hook n° 4.5 EU / 7 US
STITCHES USED
Basket point:
work a row of chains divisible by 8+1+3 for the base chain and the first double crochet.
Row 1: insert the hook into the 4th chain and work the entire row with double crochets
row 2 and 3: work 2 chains, 4 double crochets worked in relief on the front, 4 double crochets worked in relief on the back, alternate throughout the entire row, bind off with a half double crochet
rows 4 and 5: work 4 double crochets in relief on the back, 4 double crochets worked in relief on the front, alternate for the entire row, and bind off with a half double crochet.
Magic Circle:
Pass the thread twice over the index and middle fingers of your hand, and pass the second thread behind the first.
Hold the thread at the back with your thumb.
Pass the crochet hook under the first thread and pull out the second one, this way you will get a loop.
Remove your finger from the circle.
Work the stitches as stated in the pattern and once finished, pull the cast-on thread and tighten the circle until it becomes invisible.
LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

PROCEDURE
Start with the magic circle technique for 14 rows, you will end up with 84 single crochets.
Row 1: work in double crochet from the back
row 2: set basket stitch on 6 stitches, 3 rows for each square, work 6 stitches taken from the front and 6 stitches taken from the back. Work like this for 7 rows and only make one row to exchange the working of the squares
row 3: work single crochet for the entire row
row 4: work in slip stitch
row 5: work single crochet on the stitch taken from the rib.
Cast on 60 chains.
Row 1: work in single crochet
row 2: work slip stitch.
Attach the string to the back of the bag.
Cast on 30 chains.
Row 3 and 4: Single crochet in the round for both rows

At this point, the bag is finished, and you can finally fill it with everything you want.
