Tiago All Day Bag Crochet Pattern – Hoooked Eco Barbante

The Tiago All Day Bag is a stylish, everyday crochet bag pattern designed for crafters who want a practical yet fashionable accessory. This beginner-friendly crochet pattern is available as a downloadable PDF and uses chunky-weight yarn to create a structured, open-stitch tote that works up quickly and makes an impressive finished project even for those relatively new to crochet.

What Is Being Made

The finished project is a roomy, handheld all-day tote bag — sometimes called an everyday bag or market bag — featuring an elegant open lacework body and sturdy bag handles. The design is worked in the round from the base upward, creating a seamless oval-shaped bag with a wide, flat bottom and tall sides. The bag is finished with a solid row of stitches at the top edge and two attached handles, making it ready to carry immediately after finishing.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Hoooked Eco Barbante Spesso in Petrol — 2 x 500g skeins (chunky weight)
• Crochet Hook: 9mm
• Bag Handles: 2 pre-made bag handles
• Tapestry needle and yarn for attaching handles

Hoooked Eco Barbante Spesso is a chunky, 100% recycled cotton yarn known for its substantial weight, slight texture, and beautiful matte finish. Its sturdy structure makes it an ideal choice for bags, baskets, and home accessories, as it holds its shape well without stretching excessively. The Petrol colorway is a rich, deep teal-blue tone that gives the finished bag a sophisticated, on-trend look.

Techniques Used

• Working in the round — the bag is constructed as a continuous oval, beginning with a foundation chain and building up in joined rounds
• Oval base construction — stitches are worked along both sides of the starting chain, with increases at each end to form the rounded base shape
• Open mesh / lace pattern — alternating treble crochet stitches with chain-1 spaces creates a decorative, breathable fabric with a classic woven-look texture
• Finishing row — a final round of single crochet (or equivalent close stitch) is worked around the top opening to create a neat, firm edge
• Handle attachment — pre-made bag handles are sewn on using a tapestry needle and yarn, positioned between stitches at the desired location on the top edge

Stitches Used

• Chain stitch (ch) — used for the foundation chain and as chain-1 spaces within the lace pattern
• Treble crochet / double crochet (tr / dc) — the main structural stitch forming the body of the bag; worked in pairs with chain spaces between them to create the open mesh effect
• Single crochet / slip stitch — used in the final round to close and neaten the top edge of the bag

Pattern Structure

• Foundation: Chain 36 (or 33 + 3 turning chains depending on edition)
• Round 1: Establishes the oval base with paired treble crochets and chain-1 spaces along both sides of the foundation chain, with multiple increases at each short end
• Rounds 2–14: Repeat the open mesh pattern — treble crochet stitches worked between the paired stitches of the previous round, separated by chain-1 spaces — continuing in the round to build the height of the bag
• Round 15: A closing round of solid stitches worked into every stitch around the top opening, then fastened off
• Finishing: Handles are positioned and sewn securely between stitches using a needle and yarn
