How to Crochet a Net Bag with Solomon's Knots: A Perfect Project for Beginners

By kimcraft

If you're new to crochet and looking for a fun and easy project to try, a net bag with Solomon's knots might be just the thing. Not only is it a great way to practice your crochet skills, but it's also a sustainable alternative to plastic bags. In this tutorial, we'll show you step-by-step how to crochet a net bag with Solomon's knots.


What are Solomon's Knots?

Before we get started, let's talk a bit about Solomon's knots. Also known as the lover's knot, Solomon's knot is a crochet stitch that creates a lacy, openwork pattern. It's made by creating a series of loops and then joining them together with single crochets. Solomon's knots are often used in crochet lace and shawls, but they can also be used to create bags and other accessories.

Materials Needed

To crochet a net bag with Solomon's knots, you'll need the following materials:

  • Worsted weight cotton yarn in the color of your choice
  • Crochet hook (size H or 5mm)
  • Scissors
  • Tapestry needle

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Begin by creating a slip knot and chaining 30 stitches.

  2. Next, make a Solomon's knot by creating a loop with your yarn and pulling it through the first chain stitch. Then, create another loop and pull it through the first loop. Repeat this process until you have 10 loops on your hook.

  3. To join the Solomon's knot, insert your hook into the first loop and pull the yarn through both loops on your hook. This will create a single crochet stitch.

  4. Create another Solomon's knot by making 10 loops on your hook and joining it to the previous knot with a single crochet stitch. Continue this pattern until you have a row of Solomon's knots that is approximately 10 inches long.

  5. To create the sides of the bag, chain 1 and then single crochet into the center of the next Solomon's knot. Repeat this process across the row.

  6. When you reach the end of the row, chain 1 and turn your work. Single crochet into the first stitch and continue across the row.

  7. Repeat step 6 until you have reached your desired bag height.

  8. To create the handles of the bag, chain 30 stitches and then skip 10 stitches. Single crochet into the next stitch and continue across the row.

  9. When you reach the end of the row, chain 1 and turn your work. Single crochet into the first stitch and continue across the row.

  10. Repeat step 9 until the handles are the desired length.

  11. To finish the bag, tie off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.

Adjusting the Size of the Bag

One of the great things about this net bag pattern is that it's easily customizable. You can adjust the size of the bag by changing the number of chains you make at the beginning and the number of rows you crochet. You can also adjust the size of the handles by changing the number of chains you make.

Conclusion

Crocheting a net bag with Solomon's knots is a fun and easy project that's perfect for beginners. With just a few simple steps, you can create a sustainable alternative to plastic bags that's both functional and stylish. So grab your crochet hook and some cotton yarn, and get started on your own net bag today!

And all I wanted is crochet Bucket 👒.  So I thought to do an experiment and see how any crochet circle can become a crochet bucket hat. I made some  mistakes on my way but at the end I got a very perfect looking hat. At the beginning I left a circle too big about 20 cm but later I shrinkeeduced it too 18 cm. And it became just right!! My circle starts with 8 sc but you can also start with 6 sc.       R1: Magic Circle 8sc => 8 stitches R2: inc 1 st in every st => 16 stitches R3: inc 1 st in every 2 st => 24 stitches R4: inc 1 st in every 3 st => 32 stitches R5: inc 1st in every 4 st => 40 stitches etc. Then I crochet for 7 cm with no increase.
