Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Crochet Peacock Bag

Step 1: Creating the Base

1. Foundation Chain:
   • Start by chaining a length that suits the base size of your bag. A common starting chain for a medium bag is around 30-40 stitches.

   Example:
   Ch 35.
   

2. First Row:
   • Work a row of single crochet in each chain.

   Row 1: Sc in each ch across. (35 sc)
   

3. Building Up the Sides:
   • Continue to work in rows of single crochet until the bag reaches the desired height (approximately 10-12 inches).

Step 2: Creating the Peacock Design

1. Changing Colors:
   • Once the base is complete, switch to the main colors for your peacock design. For example, use a bright blue to create the body.
2. Forming the Body:
   • Use double crochet stitches to create the shape of the peacock body on one side of the bag.

   Example:
   Row 1: Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 4 dc in the next st, 2 dc in the next st, *5 dc in the next st for feathers; repeat around.*
   

3. Adding Detail:
   • Use a contrasting color to add the details of the peacock's feathers. You can do this with shell stitches to create a layered effect.

Step 3: Finishing the Bag

1. Top Edging:
   • Once the peacock design is complete, work a round of single crochet around the top edge of the bag to give it a finished look.

   Example:
   Round 1: Sc in each st around.
   

2. Creating Straps:
   • For the straps, chain a length suitable for your desired strap size (around 50-60 chains for a comfortable length), then work back in single crochet.
3. Attaching the Straps:
   • Sew the straps securely to the sides of the bag using a yarn needle.

Step 4: Optional Lining and Closure

1. Adding a Lining:
   • Cut fabric to fit the inside of the bag and sew it in place for added durability and structure.
2. Adding a Closure:
   • If desired, attach a magnetic snap closure to secure the bag.
