About This Round Bag Amigurumi Pattern

This pattern walks you through making a round crochet bag from two circular panels and a long side strip. It uses cord or thick yarn worked in continuous rounds and simple single crochet rows for the sides. Photos and clear stitch counts are included so you can match the example and finish with sewn leather handles.

Why You'll Love This Round Bag Amigurumi Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it transforms simple cord and single crochet into a timeless circular bag that looks handmade and chic. I enjoy the meditative rhythm of working in continuous rounds and the satisfying moment when the two round panels and the side strip join together perfectly. The design is versatile so I often change colours or add unique handles to match my wardrobe. It is a rewarding project that balances straightforward stitches with a beautiful final result.

Switch Things Up

I love how easy it is to customize this round bag by changing cord color or mixing two shades for a striped effect.

I often make a smaller version using thinner yarn and a smaller hook to create a cute mini bag or phone pouch.

If you want a sturdier base, try inserting a round cardboard or leather disc between the panels before seaming for extra structure.

I sometimes add a zipper or magnetic snap inside the top edge for added security and a more finished interior.

For a boho look, fringe the bottom of the side strip before joining or add tassels to the handles for movement and personality.

I like using contrast slip stitches when joining panels to create a decorative seam that highlights the bag edges.

Want to change the handle? Use a longer strap to convert it into a crossbody, or add removable chain handles for a dressier vibe.

I recommend experimenting with cord materials: cotton cord gives a natural matte finish, while polyester has more sheen and durability.

Try embroidering initials or adding small crocheted flowers to one circular panel for a unique personal touch.

Don’t be afraid to mix leather and fabric handles — I often sew on vintage leather straps for a premium aesthetic.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

✗ Not pulling the magic ring tightly enough causes a hole in the center; pull the ring snugly and hide the tail inside the first stitches. ✗ Failing to place a stitch marker at the start of each spiral round leads to miscounted rounds; move a marker to the first stitch of each round and count regularly. ✗ Crocheting too loosely will make the bag floppy and misshapen; maintain a tighter tension especially when using cord to keep the panels sturdy. ✗ Cutting the cord too short before finishing prevents you from closing and hiding the tail; leave about 20 cm when cutting so you can pull and weave the end as instructed. ✗ Joining the round and side panels without aligning edges will create uneven seams; pin or place pieces next to each other before slip stitching to ensure correct alignment.

Assembly Instructions

  • Steam and shape the crochet parts following the recommendations for your cord or yarn before assembly.
  • Place one circular panel and the rectangular side piece next to each other as in the reference photo (pic. 25) and align edges for joining.
  • Begin joining one circular panel to the rectangular side with slip stitch (sl st) evenly along the edge, continue sl st to the end of the rectangular piece.
  • Attach the second circular panel to the other edge of the rectangular side with slip stitch, then work slip stitches all the way around to finish the perimeter seam.
  • After joining, cut the cord leaving about 20 cm, pull the cord through as shown, close the remaining hole with a needle and hide the end on the wrong side before trimming.

Important Notes

  • 💡Place a stitch marker on the first stitch of each round when working in a spiral to keep accurate round counts.
  • 💡Work a little tighter than usual with cord to avoid holes and keep the panels dense and firm.
  • 💡Do not cut the cord prematurely; always leave about 20 cm to be able to pull and close the round as instructed.
  • 💡When stitching the side strip, crochet the last (8th) single crochet a little on the side to create a smooth corner for joining.
  • 💡Pin or hold pieces in position before slip stitching to ensure correct alignment and an even seam.
