how to crochet easy bag charms - star, butterfly, & photocard holder (free patterns + video tutorial)


Hi everyone! These are the written patterns for my youtube tutorial. I'd love to see which one you'll make, tag me on instagram or tiktok @mahumcrochets

Mini star:

Make a magic ring (we're going to work in continuous circles so please use a stitch marker or bobby pin to mark the first stitch of each round, start the next round from the first stitch of the previous round)

Round 1 (total 5 st): insert 5 sc into the magic ring

Round 2 (total 10 st): insert 2 sc into every stitch

Round 3 (total 15 st): repeat *1 sc, 2 sc in the same stitch*

Round 4 (repeat to make 5 points of the star): insert in the same st *sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc*, then ss into the next 2 stitches

Slightly bigger star:

Make a magic ring (we're going to work in continuous circles so please use a stitch marker or bobby pin to mark the first stitch of each round, start the next round from the first stitch of the previous round)

Round 1 (total 5 st): insert 5 sc into the magic ring

Round 2 (total 10 st): insert 2 sc into every stitch

Round 3 (total 15 st): repeat *1 sc, 2 sc in the same stitch*

Round 4 (total 20 st): repeat * 1 sc, 1sc, 2 sc in the same stitch*

Round 5 (repeat to make 5 points of the star): insert in the same st *sc, hdc, dc, hdc, sc*, then ss into the next 3 stitches 

Butterfly:

Make a magic ring, chain 3, insert a dc into the magic ring (this counts as your first cluster)

Repeat 7 times: chain 2, insert 2 dc into the magic ring

Chain 2 then slip stitch into the 3rd chain and fasten off

Attach the next color into the dc space (you can refer to the video tutorial to see which space I'm talking about!), start the following steps from the chain 2 space

In every chain 2 space: insert 6 double crochets

In every dc space: slip stitch

Slip stitch into the chain then chain 8

Fold the piece in half and wrap the chain around the center

Photocard holder:

Back piece - make a slip knot, chain the length of the width of your picture, crochet rows of single crochet till your piece is the same size as your picture, fasten off

Front piece - make a slip knot, chain the same number of chains that you did for the back piece, crochet 2-3 rows of single crochet (this is the bottom border), crochet rows (1 less than the total number of rows you need for the side border) consisting of 2-3 single crochet stitches (this is the first side border), fasten off the first side border, attach your yarn onto the other side, crochet rows consisting of the same number of single crochet stitches as the other side border (1 more row than the first side border to make the second side border), chain the difference to connect the second side border to the first, single crochet into the stitches of the first side border, crochet 2-3 rows of single crochet to make the top border (also work the stitches into the chains)

Slip stitch the front piece and back piece together

Happy crocheting & lots of love as always,
Mahum
