I love crocheting bags because you can put them to use right away, no matter what the weather. Confession time: I don’t love sewing in liners. Without a liner, there are limits to what can be carried inside of a crocheted bag. In yesterday’s post, I shared a photo tutorial for making a no-sew liner for any crochet or knit bag, and today I’m sharing the pattern for the bag that originally inspired the need for a removable, easy clean liner!

Assemble Bag

• Place your crochet striped bag panels on top of each other. Pick your least favorite side of each panel and place those facing together as the inside of the bag. You will seam 3 sides closed using the single crochet stitch. For best results, line up stitches and colors on each panel and work through both panels.

Seam

• Starting on long edge near Row 21 and working through both panels throughout, join CC with slip st, ch 1, turn to work along long edge, sc in side of ea row to first row, 2 sc in side of first row, turn to work along short edge, sc in ea st across first row, turn to work along long edge, 2 sc in side of first row, sc in side of ea row across to last row, fasten off CC.
• Once the bag is seamed together, add straps along the short edge.

First Strap

• Join CA to Row 21 just at the side of the seam with slip st, ch 1, sc in same st, ch 35. *Being careful not to twist strap, join with sc in last st of Row 21 on same panel. Turn, ch 1, sc in each ch across, join with slip st to first sc in CA.

Second Strap

• Sc in Row 21 on other panel, ch 35. Rep from * as for First Strap. Fasten off.
• With yarn needle, weave in yarn tails for seam and straps.
• Insert the liner into the bag, trimming and adjusting if necessary. A photo tutorial for making the no-sew liner is available here.
