Preparing for work
Is it difficult to knit a bag with your own hands? No, this simple type of needlework is accessible to almost everyone. The time spent will be more than repaid by the pleasure of the creative process and the result obtained.
The process of knitting a bag can be divided into several stages, such as:
- choosing a bag model;
- selection of materials (knitting threads, knitting needles or hooks, zippers, lining, accessories);
- pattern making;
- knitting the base (bottom and top);
- knitting and sewing handles;
- clasp;
- production of lining;
- decoration.
Selecting a bag model
Where to start knitting a bag? Of course, from the choice of model. You need to decide what kind of bag it will be - summer, winter, elegant clutch, children's backpack, for the beach, for shopping. Or maybe you need a cute case for your mobile phone or tablet?
The choice of bag model largely depends on the purpose:
- everyday (shoppers for shopping, comfortable and roomy for work);
- for recreation (suitcases - for trips; backpacks - for walks; for visiting the beach - knitted from plastic bags);
- sports (small (in the form of a wallet-bracelet) - for running, storing small items; or larger - for wearing sportswear, etc.);
- elegant (evening elegant clutches, wedding purses and pouches);
- etc.
The shape of the product, color, number of main and additional parts, length and width of handles, etc. depend on the purpose.
We definitely think about the design and decor of the future knitted bag. Are decorative elements needed? Which? There can be many options for “decorations”. Separately knitted or fabric elements, rhinestones, applique - all this will “revive” your bag and make it unique.
You can even draw a sketch of the future product. By yourself, or involve children in this. A collaborative creative process will benefit everyone. Children will be delighted by images of fairy-tale characters, funny animals or cartoon characters.
Men prefer laconic minimalism, but they will not refuse original geometric patterns, nameplates or the emblem of their favorite sports team. Women are unpredictable: some are delighted with flowers and butterflies, while others are inspired by gothic symbols.
In general, the appearance of your future masterpiece is purely a matter of taste. Certainly no one will have a second knitted bag like this, that’s the beauty of hand-made products.

Selection of materials for making a bag
- Based on the choice of bag, we select materials. The most important thing is the yarn you will knit with. Linen and cotton are suitable for summer openwork handbags. Multi-colored patterns and intricate aran patterns will look great on bags made of thick wool and acrylic. Beach and shopping options allow the use of any materials, even the most exotic. Bags are knitted from twine, plastic bags, satin ribbons, and even just strips of fabric, cut and sewn with one thread. And “taste, color”... It all depends on your imagination.
Important: the yarn must be durable and hold its shape well.
- To knit a bag, you can use knitting needles or a crochet hook - it all depends on the skills and preferences of the craftswoman - some people like laconic stockinette stitch and intricate patterns, while others prefer “crochet-making” motifs. The size of the knitting needles or hook depends on the thickness of the yarn and the knitting density.
- In addition, the bag needs handles. They can be knitted, fabric, leather (for example, from an old bag). Or you can buy ready-made ones - bamboo, wood, plastic.
- For the lining of a knitted bag, it is better to choose thick satin fabric. Recently, to give the shape of a bag, lining fabric with a thin layer of padding polyester or non-woven fabric has become increasingly used.
- Little things left. Choosing accessories. Let's decide how the bag will be fastened. The most common fasteners are: zipper; sew-on or magnetic buttons; buttons; Velcro tape (Velcro); carbines. Perhaps such accessories are not provided in your model at all. Shopping and beach bags can easily be without fasteners. We select other necessary little things – rings for handles, buckles for locks, appliqués, zippers for pockets, etc. depending on the chosen bag model.
How to knit a bag with your own hands for beginners: step by step
Pattern
Let's get to work. You need to make a pattern for a knitted bag of the required size. Where can I get it? Can be found in magazines, books, and on the Internet. Or build it yourself. The classic base is a rectangle; such a pattern can be easily made from paper or cardboard.
For a more complex model consisting of several parts, you can take measurements from any finished bag you like and transfer them to paper. As an option, you can tear an old bag, bought in second-hand stores for literally pennies, into pieces and use them to knit a new bag.
Probably the simplest pattern is a bag bag. We knit a fairly long piece of fabric, fold it in half, sew or crochet it on the sides, attach handles, fasteners, and pockets if necessary. Ready! It’s as simple as shelling pears, even a child can do it.
By the way, the string bag is knitted according to the same principle:
Another simple option is to knit the bottom of the bag according to the pattern, and then knit the panel in a circle. Make a cute bucket bag.
The bottom can be knitted in any shape. They crochet a chain, then tie it on both sides in a spiral, making the necessary increases according to the pattern, depending on what they want to get in the end: oval, circle, rectangle.
Crochet oval pattern with single crochets
Knitting pattern for an oval with double crochets. Knitting pattern for a circle. Crocheting pattern for a rectangle.
Bags with leather bottoms look especially beautiful. To do this, cut out the bottom of a bag of a suitable size from natural or artificial leather, using a special tool (can be replaced with a punch), punch holes at the same distance, and crochet it in a circle.
More durable and voluminous - a bag with four sides and a bottom. They are knitted separately and then sewn or knitted. The bottom can be reinforced with a plastic frame. It is better to sew a fabric lining from the inside.
Bags a la a backpack, sack or sack can have an original design. Schoolchildren and children will find this accessory useful for a “change” (see a detailed master class on knitting a bag for children), and for fashionistas – for their look and style. Their bottom is round, and the sides are decorated with patterns.
Comfortable and beautiful bags are made from individual squares knitted or crocheted. They are sometimes called "grandmother's". It is better to take multi-colored threads.
It is interesting to combine different materials and techniques. Fabric, leather, knitted elements, rhinestones and beads can peacefully coexist on the same bag.
We knit the parts according to the pattern. The yarn should not be too thin. You can take not threads, but twine, cord or even plastic bags. The latter are pre-cut into strips, twisted and wound into balls.
The finished parts of the knitted bag are connected to each other. They can be sewn - by hand or on a machine, in a way convenient for you.
Some people prefer crocheting with a thread of the same color or, on the contrary, a contrasting one. The connection must be strong.
Tying parts with connecting stitches Tying parts with single crochet stitches
Handles for a knitted bag
After the top of the bag is knitted, you need to start making handles. They can be sewn on, tied together with a bag, or attached to rings. Handles for a knitted bag can be single or double, knitted, sewn, etc.
To knit single handles, pick up several stitches with knitting needles and knit a long piece of fabric using predominantly garter stitch.
Or you can crochet several air loops and knit tight handles in single crochet stitches.
Double knitted bag handles can be made in several ways. For example, for one handle, knit two parts (see above) and sew or knit them together at the edges. You can knit a double-width strip and sew the handles on only one side, after placing a grosgrain ribbon inside for strength.
The handles can be knitted in a spiral. Crochet - by casting several air loops, which are closed in a ring and knitted with single crochets in a spiral.

Crochet beaded purse
A beaded wallet will always look fashionable and impressive. Of course, such a thing requires work, but the result is worth the effort.
For such a handbag you will need beads; two or even more colors look very beautiful. In this case, black and green are used. You also need iris threads of a suitable color, a bead needle, a clasp, a 1.00 hook, and, if desired, pendants for decoration.
Operating procedure
- First, we string beads onto the thread.
- Knitting in the round. To begin with, we cast on 12 loops, alternating empty ones with beads - this will be the middle.
- The entire circle is divided into 6 parts, which are separated from each other by loops without beads. Each time we start the segment with an additional bead. You need to knit until the edge of the fabric matches the fastener. Then we knit 2 more rows without additions. The attachment point must be free of beads.
- You can alternate the beads so that you get multi-colored segments of the circle. For example, dial 20 green and 20 black beads 3 times so that the parts of the wallet are different. You can knit one side of the wallet in one color, and the front side in two.
- When both sides of the bag are ready, fold the border without beads inward and sew it to the clasp so that only the fabric with beads remains on the outside.
- Then we sew the bottom part of the wallet and, if desired, sew on pendants.
What yarn can you knit bags from?
It is advisable to knit handbags from medium-thick thread, but it is not a sin to use the thickest thread. To avoid mistakes in size, be sure to knit a small sample according to the fabric pattern in advance and count the loops at 10 cm - this is an indicator of the knitting density. He is the best assistant for determining the correct set of loops for any product. The best thing is that wool, acrylic, and anything that is itchy are suitable for the bag.
What additional elements will be needed to make a bag?
A lot of additional accessories will be needed for a knitted bag. In principle, these are all accessories that can be used for a regular bag made of suede or leather. These include handles, hooks, various fasteners, and clips. Push-button locks are very popular. Beautiful metal elements are suitable for decoration; they are also on sale among accessories for bags. Special legs for the bag. The most important thing is to think about the lining and it is better to use a special frame material to give the shape. It is very convenient to work with and the knitted product keeps its shape well as a result. Some frame elements can simply be inserted after making a knitted cover and lining between them during assembly. Some bags can hold their shape on their own and do not need a lining or frame, for example, these are bags made of knitted yarn. Only quite often such yarn prefers a hook.
DIY knitted bags – photo ideas
If you need the bag to stretch well and take the shape of the objects that will have to be carried in it, then it is better to knit it. Many patterns designed for clothing and hats look great on bags. This year's trend is “aranes” - intertwining patterns that can decorate a theatrical handbag or reticule. Needlewomen can’t wait to show off their creations on the Internet, and we have the opportunity to see the most interesting pictures of these works.
The vast majority of bag models are crocheted. This allows you to maintain a certain shape and attach handles, flaps, and decorations to the “body” of the bag. The bag can be made mesh or thick. And if you make additional decorations, the product will become unique. Originality and originality, completeness of the image - these are the signs of a bag made by a real craftswoman.
Patterns of knitted round bags
Handbags made of acrylic and wool will be more attractive if you use different knitting patterns for them.
I have selected several suitable schemes for you.
A bag with a “popcorn” pattern will turn out so impressive if knitted from thick yarn (or in several folds).
This cute handbag is decorated with a voluminous flower on the front side, and the sides are knitted with an interesting convex pattern (see diagram).
The next model is made with single crochet stitches, and in the upper part it has a notch, so to speak, so it is knitted in reverse rows.
Another option really appeals to me, but the pattern is not from this bag, I just found a suitable one. Replace the openwork rows in the pattern with single crochets, and you will get what you need.
For lovers of bright things, I suggest knitting a bag - a mandala. It would be great as an option for a beach or children's bag! Again there is no diagram, this work is from etsy.com.
But you can use any pattern of a rug or napkin; we also have ideas for knitted mandalas.
The bag with a flap is made of three identical circles with alternating different colors of yarn in rows and closes with a button.
