🔹 Pattern Breakdown (Top Diagram Explanation)
The upper part of the image is a crochet hexagonal motif pattern, which forms the base of the bag. Here’s how to read and follow it:
🧵 Hexagonal Crochet Motif Pattern (Bag Panels) Make 2
✅ Start with a Foundation Circle:
1️⃣ Chain 5 → Slip stitch into the first chain to form a ring.
✅ Round 1: Forming the Hexagon Base
2️⃣ Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), then work 2 dc into the ring.
- Ch 2 (creates the first corner).
- Work 3 dc into the ring, ch 2 → repeat this 5 more times to form 6 sets of 3 dc clusters, each separated by ch 2.
- Sl st to the top of the starting chain to close the round.
✅ Round 2: Expanding the Hexagon
3️⃣ Ch 3 (counts as 1st dc), 2 dc in same st.
- In the next corner space (ch-2 space), work: 3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc (corner increase).
- Repeat this in each corner space around the hexagon.
- Sl st to join the round.
✅ Round 3 & Beyond: Growing the Hexagon
4️⃣ Continue the increase pattern:
- Work 3 dc in each space between clusters.
- In each corner space, always place (3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc) to maintain the hexagon shape.
- Repeat for desired number of rounds until the hexagon reaches the needed size for your bag panels.
🟦 Side Rectangle (For Depth & Bottom)
✅ Row 1: Ch to the width you want (~5”).
✅ Row 2: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across, turn.
✅ Row 3+: Ch 1, sc in each st across.
✅ Repeat until the length matches the hexagon’s perimeter.
🎗 Straps (Make 2)
✅ Row 1: Ch to desired length (~25”).
✅ Row 2: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across, turn.
✅ Row 3+: Continue sc rows for sturdiness (4-5 rows recommended).
✨ Alternative: Use slip stitch rows for a more solid strap!
