I am thrilled to share my latest creation with you, a beautifully crafted Oreo crochet bag. For those who know me, you’re already familiar with my love for artistry. As a leather bag maker, a beaded bag artisan, and now, a crochet bag maker, I am always drawn to the beauty of crafting. My passion for learning and exploring new techniques keeps my creativity alive.
Over the past two weeks, I’ve been unwell, which made it difficult for me to paint. But I couldn’t let that time pass unproductively. So, I decided to finally learn the art of crocheting, a craft I’ve admired for ages.
I purchased the materials online, a process that was an investment, costing me about ₦14,500 ($9) at today’s exchange rate. Once I had everything, I dove into the process. I’ll admit, it wasn’t all smooth sailing. I made several mistakes at the start, unraveling and reworking parts of the design more than once. The process was intricate and a bit challenging, but the joy of completing the bag made every effort worthwhile.
Materials Used
- 1 pack of T-shirt yarn
- 6.0 mm crochet hook
- Darning needle
- Bag hook
- Stitch markers
- Chain
- O-rings
The Creative Process
- Forming the Base:
- I began with 5 single stitches, pulling the yarn to form a small circle.
- Gradually, I increased the stitches to form 12 rings in the second round, then 18 in the third, maintaining an increment of 6 stitches per round.
- After creating 6 rings, I tied off the yarn and repeated the process to form another circular base, creating two identical bases.
- Joining the Bases:
- Using stitch markers, I marked 6 single stitches on each base for the bag’s opening.
- I joined the two circular bases with single stitches, working around the edges until the bag began to take shape.
Adding the Cover:
- I crocheted the bag cover and attached it seamlessly to the main structure with the bag hook.
- Finishing Touches:
- The handle was crocheted separately and fixed securely to the bag.
- Finally, I attached the chain, completing the design.

This journey has been deeply fulfilling, and despite the challenges, I’m so proud of this creation. Crafting has a way of bringing joy and purpose, even in moments of struggle. This bag is a testament to resilience, learning, and the endless possibilities of creativity.
