A self crocheted shopping bag looks great, is environmentally friendly and takes up hardly any space when transported unfilled. Find out here how you can make this pretty bag yourself.
Pocket bottom from firm crochet stitches
At the beginning cast on 142 air stitches and close with 1 warp stitch in the first air stitch to the ring.
1. ROUND: 1 air mesh (= 1 fixed mesh) 1 fixed mesh into the next air mesh, * skip the next air mesh, 1 fixed mesh into each of the next 4 air meshes *, from *-* work 28 times in total = 114 fixed meshes. Apply 1 marker thread at the beginning of the round and apply 1 marker thread after 57 firm stitches (= 57 firm stitches left until end of round)
2.-5th ROUND: 1 stick in each fixed stitch, SAME TIME in each round increase 1 stitch on both sides of each marker thread = 130 stitches. 6. ROUND: 1 stitch in each stitch and 8 stitches equally distributed in the round = 138 stitches.
Grid look
The grid look is created by crocheting the following rounds repeatedly:
2 rounds are crocheted 46 times 2 air stitches and 1 fixed stitch, 1 round with 1 chop in each stitch
Crochet 2 rounds with 2 sticks around the air stitch and 1 fixed stitch
After 20 rounds of this "net pattern crocheting" 3 rounds completely with chopsticks crochet and finish the crochet work, sew the threads.
At the bottom of the bag the bags are closed with tight meshes.

Bag Handles
Attach the 4 D-half rings to the bag with 7 firm meshes each. Cut from Yarn Cotton Cord 12 yarn pieces of 80 cm each. Knot 6 pieces together on one of the semi-circular rings, braid a braid with 3 strands on one semi-circular ring on each side of the bag and knot the end to the other ring on the side of the bag.
