You need only the basic crochet stitches - single and double crochets! 

This crochet bag pattern comes in one size, but you can easily adapt the size and can create the perfect bag for your Spring adventures. You can very easily choose width and height you like and create bags of many versions and various sizes. 

This is the very basic pattern, this bag is actually much easier to crochet than you might think and you will love it as it works up very quickly. I simply fall in love with crocheting this easy Rainbow bag. Perfect for using up scraps of yarn too.

MATERIALS NEEDED FOR RAINBOW BAG

Stripes - Colors :

A = blue
B = green
C = yellow
D = orange
E = dark red
F = pink
G = light pink
H = mint 
I = petrol green

You can use any yarn you like - for this project is great to use up scrap yarns! 

Small amounts of any worsted weight yarn.
The pattern was made with SpagoYarn Cottonel, YarnArt Begonia, Alize Bella and Drops yarns. 

Hook: Size 4.00 mm
Scissors
Tapestry Needle

The pattern uses the following basic US crochet stitches:
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
ds = double crochet

tr = treble 
sl st = slip stich

Special technic: Changing color
when changing colors work the final slip stitch on the round as follows: Insert the hook in the 3rd chain stitch from the beginning of the round, change to the next color and pull the strand through the loop on the hook.

WRITTEN PATTERN
BAG
Colour A
Use crochet hook 4.0 mm
Work in rounds.

BAG BASEMENT

Make a magic ring
R1: ch3 (1dc), 9 dc in the magic ring, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (10 dc)

R2: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in the same st, 2dc in each st around, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (20 dc)

R3: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in the same st, 1dc in next st, * 2dc in next st, 1dc in next st * repeat from * to * till end of round, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (30 dc)

Continue to increase and work pattern as before: each subsequent round work 1 more double crochet between each increase. Make the basement as wide as you wish.

R4: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in the same st, 1dc in next 2 st, * 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 2 st * repeat from * to * till end of round, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (40 dc)

R5: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in the same st, 1dc in next 3 st, * 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 3 st * repeat from * to * till end of round, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (50 dc)

R6: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in the same st, 1dc in next 4 st, * 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 4 st * repeat from * to * till end of round, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (60 dc)

R9: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in the same st, 1dc in next 7 st, * 2dc in next st, 1dc in next 7 st * repeat from * to * till end of round, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (90 dc)

R11: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in each st around, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round (100 dc)

Then work STRIPES – see description above. Change color every second round.
Make sure you have the same number of stitches in each round.
Make your bag as long as you wish.
I made 7 stripes.

HANDLE
We will create the handle in next round.

Colour J
Use crochet hook 4.0 mm
Work in rounds.

Centre your bag, make sure handles on each side are centered in the middle, you may have to adjust in case you have different number of stitches. 
I would recommend to you use 4 markers, place 2 markers on front side (skip 26 stitches between markers) and also 2 markers on back side, make sure the markers are on the same positions on each side.

R1: 1sl st in each st around

R2: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in next 23 st (24 dc) or till you reach the marker. Chain 55 ch, skip 26 st (or skip stitches to next marker), work 1 dc in next 24 st, chain 55 ch, 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round

R3: ch3 (1dc), 1dc in each st (in each st and in each chain around), 1sl st in 3rd ch at beg to close round

R4: 1sl st in next 22 st, skip 2 st, 1dc in next 55 st, skip 2 st, 1sl st in next 20, skip 2 st, 1dc in next 55 st, skip 2 st, join the round with a slip st.

Cut the yarn, fasten off, weave in all end. 

Now you can add flowers or a label or you can use some buttons on your wonderful Rainbow bag! 
Feel free to add some decoration to make your bag just perfect! 
 

FLOWER

We will crochet the flower right on the bag.
Use crochet hook 4.0 mm
Work in rounds.
Choose 2 colors.
Choose any color combination you like. 
Chose the place on your bag you like for the position of your flower.

Color E
R1: Start working around 1 dc from bottom up. ch1, 3sc around the stitch, turn your work, work from top down, place 3 sc around next dc,  join the round with a slip st (6 sc)

Color C
R2: work in one st: (1sc, ch3, 1sc), repeat this group in each st around, at the end you will 6 repetitions = 6 groups (1sc, ch3, 1sc), join the round with a slip st 

R3: work in ch3 space: (1sc, 2dc, 1tr, 2dc, 1sc), repeat this group in each ch3 sp around, at the end you will 6 repetitions = 6 groups (1sc, 2dc, 1tr, 2dc, 1sc), join the round with a slip st 

Cut the yarn, fasten off, weave in all ends.
