crochet with mahum ✿

Hi everyone! One of my favourite things to crochet is bags, and I've been trying to perfect the pattern for a basket-style bag that's cute but also easy to make.  After lots of trial and error, here's the pattern and video tutorial ! It's made with just single crochet stitches, so it's perfect for if you're a beginner. The body of the bag also has surface crochet designs, so you can add different colors without the complicated color change technique. Cute, easy, and quick to make in just under 3 hours :) If you found this pattern and tutorial helpful + want to try more creative projects like sewing, knitting, digital art, embroidery, and more - you can use this link to get a free 1-month trial of Skillshare !

Hi everyone! Here's a short step-by-step guide for your reference based on my in-depth youtube tutorial on how to crochet your dream messenger bag with pockets. Step 1: pick your yarn and hook size. I recommend using a 4, 4.5, or 5 mm hook with an acrylic or cotton yarn (medium weight/size 4) to make sturdy bags. Step 2: pick a pixel grid from Pinterest ( my board has 100+ free pixel grids to choose from!) or create your own with the Charts tool in the My Row Counter app...

That being said, I can't wait to see what you come up with!  Please tag me in your creations (or send me a picture!) and feel free to DM me on Instagram (@mahumcrochets) if you have any questions. Materials & Terminology: I used a 4.5 mm hook and around 100 g of 2 colors (I recommend using light and dark alternating colors!).  Abbreviations: SC - single crochet, DC - do...
