Lollipop Little Bag

Lollipop Little Bag by Double ff

Project Overview

The Lollipop Little Bag is an advanced beginner crochet project designed by Fani Petrova. This downloadable PDF pattern provides instructions for creating a structured bag with finished dimensions of 27 cm width and 17 cm height. The design features a distinctive lollipop stitch pattern combined with solid crochet sections, making it an ideal project for crafters looking to expand their stitch repertoire while creating a functional accessory.

Craft and Techniques

This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. The pattern incorporates multiple crochet techniques including single crochet for the base structure and a specialized lollipop stitch pattern for decorative elements. The construction begins with an oval base, a foundational technique that creates the bottom of the bag. Crafters will work in the round using slip stitches to close rounds and create seamless transitions. The pattern includes both visible joins and invisible joins to achieve a polished finish.

Stitches Used

• Single crochet (sc) – Used throughout the base structure and main body
• Chain stitch (ch) – Creates foundation chains and increases
• Slip stitch – Closes rounds and joins sections
• Lollipop stitch – A decorative stitch pattern that repeats on a multiple of 4 stitches and 4 rounds
• Invisible join – Provides seamless round closures for a professional appearance

Gauge and Sizing

Accurate gauge is essential for this project's success. The pattern specifies two different gauges depending on the section being worked:

• Single crochet gauge: 22 stitches and 28 rounds = 10 cm
• Lollipop pattern gauge: 22 stitches and 18 rounds = 10 cm

The lollipop stitch pattern operates on a multiple of 4 stitches and 4 rounds, allowing for flexible sizing adjustments if desired. The finished bag measures 27 cm in width and 17 cm in height, creating a compact yet functional accessory.

Materials and Yarn

This pattern calls for sport weight yarn in 100% mercerised cotton, a breathable and durable fiber choice ideal for bags. The yarn provides excellent stitch definition, particularly important for showcasing the lollipop stitch pattern.

Version 1 requires:

• Main colour (Light brown): 65 grams / approximately 125 meters
• Contrast colour (Blue): 35 grams
• Total: 100 grams of yarn

Version 2 offers a three-colour option:

• Main colour (Light brown): 55 grams
• Contrast colour 1 (Blue): 25 grams
• Contrast colour 2 (White): 20 grams
• Total: 100 grams of yarn

A 3.00 mm crochet hook is required to achieve the specified gauge with sport weight yarn. Additionally, a sewing needle is needed for finishing and seaming the completed bag pieces together.

Difficulty Level

Rated as advanced beginner, this pattern is suitable for crocheters with foundational skills who are ready to tackle more complex stitch patterns. The lollipop stitch adds visual interest and texture, while the oval base construction and round shaping provide valuable technique practice. The pattern includes video tutorial support to guide crafters through challenging sections.
