This tutorial will show you how to crochet a beautiful, structured handbag featuring the striking Honeycomb Stitch<\/strong>. This pattern, inspired by the video, creates a dense, sturdy fabric with a wonderful texture that makes it ideal for bags. The handbag is constructed from two flat panels that are later seamed, resulting in a clean, professional finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a great project for intermediate crocheters or confident beginners ready to tackle textured stitches and garment construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Crochet the Hexa-Chic Handbag?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Unique Texture:<\/strong> The Honeycomb Stitch (a combination of single crochet, long single crochet, and front post single crochet) provides a stunning, durable fabric.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Sturdy Structure:<\/strong> When worked with a thick cord and a smaller hook, the fabric is dense enough to hold the bag\u2019s shape without heavy lining.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Customizable:<\/strong> Easily change the height or width by adjusting the initial chain count and the number of pattern rows.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Chic Hardware:<\/strong> Designed to accommodate a modern metal chain and a tongue lock (backlog) for a polished, ready-to-wear look.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    1. Materials & Tools You’ll Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          4. The Pattern Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          You will create two identical panels (Panel A and Panel B) using a 4-row repeat pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Part 1: Main Bag Panel (Make 2)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

          The main panel starts with a foundation chain of 30 stitches. The final stitch count for each row will be 29 stitches.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          1. Foundation Chain:<\/strong> Ch 30<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Row 1 (Base Row):<\/strong> Leave one stitch. Insert hook into the back loop<\/strong> of the second chain from the hook. Make 1 sc and 1 sc in the back loop of each chain across.\n
              \n
            • Stitch Count: 29 sc<\/em>. Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
              \n\n\n\n

              The Honeycomb Pattern Repeat (Rows 2-5 are the block):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Row 2 (LSC Offset):<\/strong> Insert hook into the base of the first stitch of the first row and make 1 LSC<\/strong>. *1 sc in the next stitch, 1 LSC in the base of the stitch two rows below*. Repeat from * to * across.\n
                  \n
                • Stitch Count: 15 LSC, 14 sc (29 total)<\/em>. Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Row 3 (FPSC Row):<\/strong>1 sc<\/strong> in the first stitch. *Insert hook into the two halves of the next two stitches and make 1 FPSC<\/strong>, 1 sc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * across.\n
                    \n
                  • Stitch Count: 14 FPSC, 15 sc (29 total)<\/em>. Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • Row 4 (LSC Centered):<\/strong>1 sc<\/strong> in the first stitch. *1 LSC (into the base of the stitch two rows below, under the triangle pattern), 1 sc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * across.\n
                      \n
                    • Stitch Count: 14 LSC, 15 sc (29 total)<\/em>. Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                    • Row 5 (FPSC Offset):<\/strong>2 sc<\/strong> in the first two stitches. *1 FPSC (into the two halves of the next two stitches), 1 sc in the next stitch*. Repeat from * to * until you have two stitches remaining. Work 1 sc in each of the last two stitches.\n
                        \n
                      • Stitch Count: 13 FPSC, 16 sc (29 total)<\/em>. Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
                        \n\n\n\n

                        Continue the Pattern:<\/strong> Repeat Rows 2-5 until you have completed 15 sets of the 4-row pattern<\/strong>. Fasten off the yarn on Panel A<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                        Part 2: Working the Border (Sides and Base)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                        You will work single crochet rounds around both panels to create the side walls of the bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                          \n
                        1. Border Row 1 (Panel A):<\/strong> Attach yarn at one corner. Ch 1.\n
                            \n
                          • Side 1 (Pattern edge):<\/strong> Sc down the side, working 3 sc for each pattern repeat<\/strong> (15 patterns x 3 sc = 45 sc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Corner 1:<\/strong> Work 2 sc<\/strong> in one base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Side 2 (Foundation chain edge):<\/strong> Work 27 sc<\/strong> across the foundation chain edge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Corner 2:<\/strong> Work 2 sc<\/strong> in one base.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Side 3 (Pattern edge):<\/strong> Sc up the final side, working 3 sc for each pattern repeat<\/strong> (45 sc).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Total Stitches: 98 stitches.<\/em> Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Border Rows 2-5:<\/strong> Work 98 sc<\/strong> around, making sure to work the corners as single stitches to maintain the stitch count and square shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Finish Panel A:<\/strong> Cut the yarn and hide the tip of the yarn into the stitches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Finish Panel B:<\/strong> Repeat steps 1-3 for Panel B, but DO NOT cut the yarn<\/strong> after the final row..<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

                            Part 3: Bag Assembly<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                            You will now join the two panels to form the bag body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                              \n
                            1. Seaming the Top:<\/strong> Hold Panel A and Panel B together with the wrong sides facing each other. Starting at the corner of Panel B (where the yarn is still attached), work a row of single crochet through both loops of both panels<\/strong> across the top edge (Side 3 in the border instructions).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            2. Seaming the Bottom:<\/strong> Continue working single crochet down the side (Side 1 of the border), across the bottom edge (Side 2 of the border), and up the next side (Side 3 of the border).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                            3. Final Seam:<\/strong> Continue crocheting the final edge closed. When you reach the beginning of the seam, cut the yarn and weave in the tail.\n
                                \n
                              • Turn the bag right side out and give it the right shape<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                                Part 4: Strip for the Lock<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

                                This strip is crocheted flat in slip stitch rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                                  \n
                                1. Foundation:<\/strong> Leave a long yarn tail (approx. 20 cm) for sewing. Ch 13<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                2. Row 1:<\/strong> Skip 1 ch. Sl st in the second ch from the hook and in each ch across. (12 sl st). Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                3. Row 2:<\/strong> Insert hook into the back loop only<\/strong> and make 1 sl st in each stitch across. (12 sl st). Ch 1, turn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                4. Continue:<\/strong> Crochet a total of 6 rows<\/strong>. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Hide the tip of the yarn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
                                  \n\n\n\n

                                  5. Finishing and Hardware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                                    \n
                                  1. Install the Lock:<\/strong> Install the lock onto the crocheted strip. Sew the strip securely to the front of the bag using the starting yarn tail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  2. Install the Lower Lock Piece:<\/strong> Sew the lower part of the lock onto the bag body, making sure it aligns perfectly with the top part.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  3. Attach Rings:<\/strong> Attach the two snap rings (D-Rings) to the side walls of the bag using the tails left during the seaming process or new yarn.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                                  4. Attach Chain:<\/strong> Attach the metal chain to the snap rings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
