Libra Bag

The Libra Bag is a bucket bag worked from the bottom up using almost entirely variations of the single crochet stitch. The round base is made using the thick and durable waistcoat stitch, while the body uses a fun stitch pattern with a grid-like effect. The bag is closed with a drawstring at the top and the strap is added last.

The pattern calls for sport weight yarn (category 2), but some of my testers used DK weight (category 3) with great results.

This upper beginner pattern has you covered with step-by-step instructions and tutorial photos for the trickier parts.

After the crocheting is complete, I walk you through the next steps of the bag making process, with written and photo tutorials on how to make a removable and/or adjustable bag, how to make your own base shaper, how to make the drawstring. The pattern also lists all materials required. I also provide a brief example of how I added lining to the inside of my bag, however the pattern does not walk you through the lining part.
