Diana Sunglasses Bag Free Crochet Pattern Divine Debris

Diana Sunglasses Bag free crochet pattern by DivineDebris.com

Funny story, I’ve actually had this pattern ready for some time, I think I wrote it back in January, but I just had so many other ideas come up (all those seasonal ones) that I just never got around to publishing this. For this design, I thought it’d be fun to add to the Diana Line, always a favorite, with something quick and fun and pretty useful. I don’t know how many times my sunglasses have been scratched in my purse. This bag comes in handy to combat that.

Materials:

US I (5.50 mm) crochet hook
Worsted weight yarn/ size #4 yarn
- 1 oz/ 62 yards
- 2 colors
- I used Bernat Super Value
Yarn needle

Gauge:

4” x 4” = 14 dcs x 7 rows

Terms/ Stitches used:

RS: right side
St: stitch
Ch: chain
Slip st: slip stitch
Sc: single crochet
Hdc: half double crochet
Dc: double crochet

Notes:

This pattern is worked in the round, with a slip st into the first st from the alst.
The ch 1 at the beginning of some rows does not count as a stitch.
For this pattern, you will have to know how to work into the back third loop only.
The bag and the strings are worked separately. You work the bag and then add the strings after, weaving them through the openings on row 22.

Draw strings:
Ch 40 to 11.5″ in length to create the string for the draw string portion of the bag. Once you’ve made the string the length you’d like, run it through the ch-2 spaces from row 22, this creates a draw string effect and secures the opening.

Tada! I hope you like this pattern and find it handy. See you next week!
