Product Description
This simple, Japanese Knot Bag design fascinated me when I first spotted. I just had to try replicate the smooth curves and interesting knotted loop closure. The large loop passes through the small one to close and the bag folds gently to give the great curves. The long strap is adjustable, make it shorter and you can wear the bag on your wrist.
A unique, one of a kind bag! Make one for yourself or as a gift for friends and family!
Skill Level: Beginner. Basic crochet skills required, special techniques explained in the pattern Pattern written in English using US crochet terms.
Materials:
- crochet hook, size 9mm/M13
- crochet hook 6-8mm for seaming
- 450yds super bulky weight yarn. You can also use two strands of chunky yarn held together to achieve the bulky weight.

Japanese Knot Shoulder Bag by CamexiaDesigns
What is Being Made
The Japanese Knot Shoulder Bag is a quick and easy-to-make crochet bag featuring a distinctive closure mechanism where a large loop passes through a small loop to secure the bag. The design folds gently to create elegant curves, and the long adjustable strap can be worn over the shoulder or shortened to wear as a wrist bag. This downloadable crochet pattern is available in three size options: Small (20cm/8" width), Medium (30cm/12" width), and Large (40cm/20" width), with a consistent height of 26cm/10" across all sizes.
Techniques Used
This beginner-level crochet project utilizes fundamental crochet techniques suitable for crafters new to the craft. The primary construction method involves the woven stitch, which creates the textured fabric of the bag. The pattern incorporates basic crochet shaping techniques including increases and decreases to form the bag's structure and achieve its characteristic folded silhouette. The adjustable strap is worked to the desired length, allowing customization based on personal preference and intended wear style.
Stitches Used
- Single Crochet (sc) – A fundamental stitch used throughout the pattern
- Chain (ch) – Used for foundation and stitch construction
- Slip Stitch (sl st) – Used for joining and finishing
- Woven Stitch (ws) – The primary pattern stitch that creates the bag's textured appearance
- Increase (inc) – Used to shape and expand the bag structure
- Decrease (dec) – Used to shape and contour the bag
Materials and Tools
This pattern is designed to work with bulky weight yarn, requiring 400–450 yards total. The designer offers flexibility in yarn selection: you may use a single strand of bulky weight yarn or hold two strands of chunky yarn together for the same effect. A 9mm/M13 crochet hook is recommended for this project. The suggested gauge is 9 stitches and 12 rows equaling 10cm (4") when worked in the woven stitch pattern. As with all crochet projects, swatching to check your gauge before beginning the main bag is advised to ensure proper sizing and drape.
