🎒 Drawstring Bag Crochet Pattern
A full construction plan, not just a motif: every round is computed by the stitch engine and verified before publishing — the finished object comes out the size the title promises.
📏 Ø21cm × 17cm tall, cinch top with a 60cm cord
Finished size & materials
📏 Ø21cm × 17cm tall, cinch top with a 60cm cord. Written for worsted (category 4) yarn and a 5.0-5.5mm hook at ≈0.7cm per single crochet. Gauge decides the final size — hook a small swatch first and adjust the hook, not the stitch counts. Every round below is computed by the stitch engine: if a round says it starts at 72 and ends at 66, those numbers reconcile.

Assembly & finishing
- base — Increase to Ø21cm.
- body — 18 even rounds (≈13cm). Rounds 17-18 become the eyelet row: on round 17, work (sc 1, ch 1, skip 1) repeated — the chain gaps are the cord channels.
- cuff — 2 even rounds close over the eyelets. Thread a 60cm cord (chain 130 or braid 3 strands) through and knot the ends together.
