I made this diaper bag for my niece that is on the way and here is how I made it!
I did this with two crochet needles one was a K 2-6.60MM and a G 6-4.25MM. I'll explain which one I used where with each picture.
For the white part I started with the K needle and did a chain and did alternating single crochet and double crochet all the way up but in the center I skipped every other one so I could weave the ribbon all the way around.
I did some triple crochets in the back for fun. But you can just stick to alternating single crochet and double crochet if you want.
Make the bag as big or as little as you want it really doesn't matter.
For the straps I used a mint green and I just did single crochets with the G needle. I made the straps extra long so it could be put over the shoulder I reall just guaged it off on my body height. I attached the straps just by using a large sewing needle and some of the mint green yarn i really didn't do anything specials I just made sure it was on securely!
For attaching the front and back I just used a baby pink yarn and did single crochets attaching both parts together. I should have taken a picture on how to do this but its really simple you just make a starting loop that attachs both pieces and then you just single crochet through openings on both pieces. I didn't create side and bottom parts because I wanted this to be more of a sac than a purse.
It's really soft! And the colors are great for a baby girl or if you did like a light blue yarn around the edges it'd be great for a boy!
It's super easy I think I made it in four or so hours.
Oh! and with the ribbon I tied a bow and then to make sure it doens't come loose I'm going to sew a button through the center that way it says there forever, and just a little tip I left the ribbon loose so it had some give so it wasn't too tight if there was a lot of stuff going in the bag.
Well there you have it! That's my diaper bag! It's really easy and doesn't take very long! and it's nice that you can do it in pieces so you don't get lost!
I really taught myself how to do a lot of this but if you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them!
Thanks!!
