Plastic Canvas Bag Base | Round Circle Bag | 7 Inch | 3 Pcs Set - Crochet Bag

The round bag shape, already cut. Two 7 inch circles form the two faces and the 22.5 x 2.5 inch strip wraps right around the rim as the side wall, with a long slot cut into it that becomes the bag opening, so you do not have to plan or shape the opening yourself. Cutting a true 7 inch circle in mesh by hand is fiddly and rarely comes out symmetrical, which is the whole reason this template exists. The grid is the widest in this range, so thick yarn goes through easily.

Specifications

Ideal For

• Crocheters who want a round bag without cutting circles
• Chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn and fur yarn projects
• Anyone making a small crossbody or a kids bag

Perfect for

• Crochet round crossbody and circle bags
• Kids character bags with an appliqued face
• Fur and boucle yarn party bags
• Handmade gifting

Compatibility

Works with: chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn, macrame cord, cotton yarn, tapestry needles and crochet hooks. The wide grid takes thicker yarns comfortably, so chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn and macrame cord pass through without forcing.

Pairs well with: a pearl or chain strap, and appliques, pom poms or flowers on the front face.

Not suitable for: heavy loads, and any use needing a heat rating, since none is stated for these panels.

Before You Buy

• Yarn, strap, closure, lining and pattern are not included.
• The panels stay inside the finished bag, they are not removed afterwards.
• The exact mesh count is not printed on the pack. Match your yarn to the photo of the grid.
• The opening is the slot already cut into the side strip, so plan your stitches around it.

How to Use

1. Work a round of single crochet around both circles and both long edges of the strip, so every outline is bound.
2. Work the slot edges separately so the opening is bound on all four sides.
3. Pin the strip around the first circle, easing it evenly so the curve does not pucker.
4. Seam it in place, then repeat with the second circle, keeping the slot centred at the top.
5. Add a strap through the rim at each side of the opening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is in the pack?
Three pieces: two 7 inch circles and one 22.5 x 2.5 inch side strip with a slot opening cut into it.

How is this different from the flap bag templates?
This one builds a fully round bag with a slot opening in the side wall. The flap templates build a squarer bag that closes with a fold over flap.

Is the opening already cut?
Yes. The long slot in the side strip is the bag opening, so it is cut and ready to bind with yarn.

Which yarn works best on it?
The grid is the widest in this range, so chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn and macrame cord pass through very easily.
