Hammock bag kit : Crocheting a hammock bag is one of the most satisfying projects we have ever tackled. The pattern is relaxed enough for beginners, yet interesting enough for seasoned crafters, so everyone has fun.
As you work each round, you get to try different stitches and play with shaping and assembly. By the time the last yarn end is woven in, you will have a bag that looks great and a new pile of skills tucked into your crochet toolbox.
In this guide well walk you through every stage creating the body, sewing the sides, and slipping on the comfy handles. Grab your hooks and lets make this piece of summertime magic together!
Why we love the hammock bag
The hammock bag feels almost airy, like a gentle summer breeze. Because the open stitches let light pass through, it never gets bulky even when packed.
That makes it our go-to buddy for lazy beach days, quick trips to the farmers market, or any errand where hands-free carrying is a win.
It dresses up a sundress yet still looks cool with shorts and a T-shirt.
Best of all, every bag holds a little piece of our personality, something no store-bought tote can promise.

Crochet drawstring of hammock bag
| Step | Instructions |

| 3️⃣ Repeat | We repeat the same process to make 3 more pieces, so we’ll have a total of 4 chain drawstrings. |
Sew
In this stage of assembly, the sewn side panels are joined to the main body of the hammock bag; careful matching of seam allowances produces a clean silhouette. A yarn needle glides along the line while the maker maintains slight tension, creating an even row of stitches that will withstand daily wear.
After the body is structurally complete, two lengths of cord are threaded through the top channel, each sliding freely from end to end. This step is tested several times before final sewing, ensuring a snug yet adjustable cinch that secures the bag when packed.
The final operation is the attachment of a flat handle that sits centrally on each side. Once centered and pinned in place, distributing load across the fabric, and three extra passes lock the joint against heavy lifting.
