Learn how to crochet a star-shaped bag. First, you make a magic ring and crochet double crochet stitches to form the center. Next, you crochet in rounds to shape the five points of the star, changing yarn colors across the rounds.
Each round increases the number of double crochet stitches on the sides and adds chains at the points while skipping stitches in the valleys. You make two matching star panels. Then, you mark the top opening and sew the two panels together. Finally, you crochet a strap using half double crochet and sew it to the bag.
Difficulty Level
Level: Advanced Beginner
Why: The bag mainly uses standard stitches like chains, slip stitches, double crochets, and half double crochets. However, it requires careful counting across all five expanding star points, working clean corner clusters, correctly skipping valley stitches so the star lays flat, changing yarn colors between rounds, and sewing two identical panels together.
