Crochet Pattern – Textured Summer Bag

The bag in the image features a beautiful textured stitch pattern that resembles shells or fans. Below is an adapted version that’s easy to follow and perfect for beginners.

1. Bag Base

  1. Chain 40 stitches.

  2. Work 1 single crochet in each chain across.

  3. At the end, place 3 single crochets in the last stitch to turn.

  4. Continue working on the opposite side of the foundation chain.

  5. Repeat these rounds until you form an oval base approximately 4–5 rounds wide.

Transition: With the base ready, it’s time to build the beautiful textured body that defines the bag.

2. Bag Body – Fan Stitch Texture

This stitch creates the elegant layered look.

Fan Stitch Pattern

  • Fan: 5 double crochets in the same stitch

  • Between fans: 1 single crochet between the fans of the previous round

How to Work It

  1. Chain 3 to start the round.

  2. Make 1 fan, skip 2 stitches, work 1 single crochet.

  3. Repeat the sequence:
    skip 2 – fan – skip 2 – single crochet

  4. Continue crocheting in rounds until the bag reaches about 30 cm in height.

Transition: Once the body is complete, we can focus on the upper edge and straps for a clean, professional finish.

3. Upper Border

  1. Work 2 rounds of tight single crochets around the opening.

  2. Keep your tension even for a straight, firm edge.

Straps

  • Make 2 straps of 120 chains each.

  • Work 3 rows of single crochet.

  • Sew the straps securely on the inside of the bag.

Transition: With the bag finished, let’s move on to the hat — a beautiful and practical accessory that pairs perfectly with the style of the bag.

Crochet Summer Hat – Elegant & Structured

This hat has a firm crown, straight sides, and a wavy brim that adds sophistication to the design.

1. Hat Crown (Top)

  1. Start with a magic ring.

  2. Crochet 10 single crochets into the ring.

  3. Begin increasing:

    • Round 2: 2 sc in each stitch (20)

    • Round 3: 1 sc + 1 increase (30)

    • Round 4: 2 sc + 1 increase (40)

  4. Continue increasing evenly until you reach 80 stitches.

Transition: After forming the crown, you can move on to the sides, which give the hat its structure.

2. Hat Sides

  1. Work 10 rounds without increasing.

  2. Keep all stitches in single crochet for firmness.

3. Brim with Wavy Edge

This is the highlight of the hat.

  1. Begin the brim with:
    2 single crochets in each stitch around.

  2. Next rounds:
    – Work 1 single crochet, 1 increase repeatedly.

  3. To create the wavy edge:

    • 3 double crochets in the same stitch, then 2 single crochets in the next stitches.

  4. Repeat this until you complete the full brim.

Transition: To finish the hat with a delicate touch, let’s add a wide decorative bow.

4. Decorative Bow

  1. Make a chain of 70 stitches.

  2. Work 5 rows of double crochet.

  3. Wrap the strip in the center to shape the bow.

  4. Attach it securely to the hat.

Tips for a Professional Look

  • Nautical cord or raffia keeps the hat sturdy and prevents the brim from drooping.

  • For extra support, finish the brim with a round of slip stitches.

  • Block the hat by shaping it with steam (never press directly with the iron).
