Joining the Granny Squares
Now you will sew the two granny squares together. Lay the granny squares so the edges you want to join are lined up.
Starting at one corner and working through the front loops only, stitch the squares together along two sides to form a tube shape.
Top & Bottom of the Crochet Wine Bag Pattern
Now you will add rounds of double crochet stitches to the top and bottom of the granny squares.
There are 14 stitches and 2 corners along the top/bottom of each granny square. 16 x 2 = 32
Round 1: Ch 3, dc in each st and in each corner space, join (32 stitches)
Top of the Bag
Rounds 2-8: Repeat round 1
Bottom of the Bag
Rounds 2-9: Repeat round 1, do not fasten off. Continue to make the base of the bag.
Base for the Crochet Wine Bag Pattern
Round 10: Ch 3, dc2tog working in the blo, join (16 stitches)
Round 11: Ch 3, dc2tog, join (8 stitches)
Sew the remaining stitches together.
Straps for the Crochet Wine Bag Pattern
Use stitch markers to mark the 8 middle stitches on the front and back of the bag. You won’t crochet into these stitches. Instead, skip them to leave space for the straps.
Join the yarn to the first stitch after one of the middle sections.
Round 1: Ch 1, sc in 8 sts, chain 16 and skip over 8 sts, sc in next 8 sts, chain 16 and skip over 8 sts, join (16 stitches & 2 chains of 16)
Round 2: Ch 3, dc in 8 sts, make 16 dc around the ch-sp, dc in 8 sts, make 16 dc around the ch-sp, join (48 stitches)
Finishing the Crochet Wine Bag Pattern
Weave in all of the yarn tails.
