• For this crochet toast bag pattern, we will be working in rows.

Crochet Toast:

• Make x2.
• Row 1: With the aran yarn, ch x26 then in the second ch from the hook make a sc. Continue to make sc for the rest of the row. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 2-24: Sc x25. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Now we are going to make the top of the bread.
• Row 25: Sc x12. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 26: Dec, sc x8, dec. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 27: Dec, sc x6, dec. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 28: Dec, sc x4, dec. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 29: Dec, sc x2, dec. Then fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
• Rejoin the aran yarn to the otherside of row 24 and repeat rows 25-29.

Crochet Bread Crust:

• We are now going to work around the bread shape we just made. This part is based on tension. Your tension. So adjust as needed. The only hard rule about this part is make sure you do the same amount of stitches on both bread pieces, otherwise it gets hard to line up the 2 pieces together and sew them together properly.
• Round 1: With aran yarn, sc around the entire edge of the bread shape. Do it for both pieces. Then fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends. When you get to the corners, do not add additional stitches, just sc x1 and move to the next stitch. This is how we get sharper corners at the bottom of the toast bag.
• Round 2-3: Join the cafe yarn to any stitch in the last round, then sc around the entire edge just like you did in the previous round. Then fasten off the yarn and repeat on the other piece.
• Once both pieces have the bread crust added, smoosh the front sides of the pieces together. And sew the crusts together. You want to start on the side of the toast right below where you want the bag to have its opening and work your way all the way around the edge until you get to the opposite side. Then fasten off the yarn and weave in any ends.
• Flip the toast right side out and you have the base of the bag done!

Crochet Bag Straps:

• Make x2.
• Row 1: With the coffee yarn, ch x151 then in the second ch from the hook make a sc. Continue to make sc for the rest of the row. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 2-4: Sc x150. Then sc x1 and turn. When you get to the end of the last row, fasten off the yarn but leave a tail for sewing.
• Once you have 2 straps made, sew each one to the top of the bag. For each strip I had the beginning end on one side of the opening, and the end on the other side of the opening of the bag but on the same side of the purse.

Crochet Butter:

• Row 1: With the yellow yarn, ch x10 then in the second ch from the hook make a sc. Continue to make sc for the rest of the row. Then ch x1 and turn.
• Row 2-9: Sc x9. Then ch x1 and turn. When you get to the end of the last row, fasten off the yarn but leave a long tail for sewing.
• Sew to whatever side of the bag you would like to be the front.
• And there you have it—your very own crochet toast bag, fresh off the hook and ready to add a delicious dose of charm to your day! I hope you had as much fun making this little cutie as I did designing it.
