Festive Crochet Gift Bags

Why not make your own cute festive gift bags this year?

These are really easy - and quick to make ....... and you can easily alter the width or length to suit.

 
 


 
 
Make them in stripes ...... or in one colour
 
 
And add a pretty ribbon bow
 
 
Gift Bag

 DK yarn
 
 4mm crochet hook
 
 ribbon or lace trim
 

 Pattern:

 
This pattern is written in UK terminology.         tc = treble crochet        dc = double crochet

 
Foundation Chain:   chain 20

 
Round 1:   1tc in third chain from hook, 2tc in every second stitch along chain (18sts),

and then continue in the same way along the bottom of the chain, making 2tc in in every other stitch . (36sts in the round).

 

 

Join with a slip stitch.

 
Round 2:   chain 3 and make 1tc into the first 2-stitch group, 2tc in each 2-stitch group all around. (36sts).  Join with a slip stitch.


 
 
Repeat round 2 until the work measures 15cm (or the desired length).

Edging Round:  chain 2 then make 4tc in the same stitch, 1dc in each of next 3sts,  *5tr in next stitch, 1dc in each of next 3sts repeat from * to the end of the round.  Join with a slip stitch.

Darn away ends.

Thread a ribbon or lace through the bag, and tie a bow.

  1. These are so great! Great to make and stock up for Xmas. If made with small hook and yarn, they could be hung on the tree, with little gifts or treats! Thanks for sharing :)

  5. Love these little bags. I've made many in the past from a pattern on another blog. Never thought to do stripes or change the color at the top. Very nice. :) Best wishes, Tammy
