crochet bow accessories (free patterns + video tutorials)

Hi everyone! These are the reference patterns for my youtube tutorial. The designs include a messenger-style bag with a flap and bow detail, cardholder, bow keychain, and satin ribbon bag. 

REMINDER: all the materials/yarn size/hook size is in the "materials" section of the video. You can also find all the materials I used for these projects on TEMU (check the video description for links & 30% off discount code)

Abbreviations:

ss - slip stitch / sc - single crochet / hdc - half double crochet / dc - double crochet / tc - triple crochet

1. Bag made with satin ribbons (completely customisable size)

Make a slip knot and chain the width you want for the bag. Skip the 1st chain then sc into every chain. Sc 3 in the last chain. 

Now work on the bottom side of the chains - insert 1 sc into every stitch. Sc 2 in the last chain to complete the first round.

Insert 1 sc into every stitch all the way around to crochet rounds that will build the length of your bag. Crochet as many rounds as you want until the bag is the size you want. Stop at one corner to make the strap.

Chain the length you want for the strap then ss into the other corner. Fasten off and you're done!

4. Fluffy bag with flap & bow detail

Make a slip knot and chain the width you want for the bag. Skip the 1st chain then hdc into every chain. Hdc 3 in the last chain. 

Now work on the bottom side of the chains - insert 1 hdc into every stitch. Hdc 2 in the last chain to complete the first round.

Insert 1 hdc into every stitch all the way around to crochet rounds that will build the length of your bag. Crochet as many rounds as you want until the bag is the size you want. Stop at one corner to make the strap.

Chain the length you want for the strap then ss into the other corner. Insert 1 hdc into every chain then ss into the other side. 

Crochet rows of hdc to make the flap. You can optionally ss around the flap with an alternating color by inserting your hook as close to the edge as possible. 

Bow: crochet 40-60 foundation double crochets then wrap the piece into a bow.
