Crochet Chevron One Big Cake Bag Pattern

Sharing is caring!

This is the Crochet One Big Cake Chevron Bag. I love crocheting with self-striping yarn. The Caron Big Cakes is great because the ball size is so generous. You can make a nice tote or market bag without having to change colours and still have a pretty striped effect. I made this bag using Shadowberry because I think it looks great with a pair of blue jeans.

This pattern was revised in June 2024.

    Ok. People are having trouble with row 11... I went and did row 12 but what pattern said to do to row 11 I did at row 12. Turned out great. I have 5 bags done this way and starting on 6th bag. I'm using 2 strands 2 different colors and an I hook. Turning out great!

    Are the first 11 rows supposed to be all wonky? I have the correct number of stitches and I am using a 4.5mm hook and trying to crochet as loosely as I can but it starts to wrinkle and twist into a spiral. Does this straighten out after row 11?

      I think the pattern is in US terminology.
      In the US dc is actually tr in UK.
      I found that square wouldn’t flatten until I realised this and when I used to instead of dc, it was fine.

        Yes, as Michael and Jeanne are in North America, all of the designs for The Crochet Crowd are in US terms

    Hello, I also have been trying to work out this pattern for some time. Can you please add total stitch counts at the end of each round on the pattern? That would help us ensure we are on track.

    Does anyone know how many stitches in the last round before you start the chevron?

    I appreciate any help. Thank you

      Rnd 1 = 16 dc
      Rnd 2 = 32 dc
      Rnd 3 = 48 dc
      Rnd 4 = 64 dc
      Rnd 5 = 80 dc
      Rnd 6 = 96 dc
      Rnd 7 = 112 dc
      Rnd 8 = 128 dc
      Rnd 9 = 144 dc
      Rnd 10 = 160 dc
      Rnd 11 = 176 dc

        Hi Jeanne, thank you for the stitch count. When I divide 176 by 4 that means 44 stitches per side for round 11. That doesn’t seem to work with round 12, I also end up with 8 extra stitches unless I add a couple more repeats before skipping 4 stitches making it 20 stitches, skip 4, 20 stitches, then do the corner. Thank you for all your help and patterns!
