Product Description
Harlequin Bag in Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton
What Is Being Made
The Harlequin Bag is a beginner-friendly crochet project that creates a finished bag with a circumference of about 24 inches (61 cm) and a length of about 9 inches (23 cm), not including handles. This is a practical, colorful accessory piece worked in a decorative harlequin stitch pattern using three coordinating colors of cotton yarn.
Construction Method
The Harlequin Bag is constructed in one continuous piece, beginning with a foundation base that is worked back and forth in rows using single crochet stitches. Once the base is complete, the body of the bag is worked directly onto this base in joined rounds, featuring the harlequin stitch pattern. The handles are worked separately in continuous spiral rounds of single crochet and then sewn to the finished bag.
Crochet Stitches Used
- Single Crochet (sc) – Used for the foundation base rows and handle construction
- Chain (ch) – Used to create the foundation
- Double Crochet (dc) – Component of the decorative harlequin stitch pattern
- Half Double Crochet (hdc) – Used within the stitch pattern
- Slip Stitch (sl st) – Used to join rounds and transition between sections
- Dc5tog-over-6 – A decrease technique that combines 5 double crochet stitches worked over 6 stitches for shaping
- Dc6tog-over-7 – A decrease technique that combines 6 double crochet stitches worked over 7 stitches for additional shaping

The recommended crochet hook size is F-5 (3.75 mm). Additional tools include Lion Brand stitch markers to track the beginning of each round and a large-eyed blunt needle for seaming the handles to the bag.
