🧵 The bag base
The 18 cm round faux leather bag base is the ideal rigid base for anyone who wants to make crochet bags with a stable and professional structure. With a diameter of 18 cm and a thickness of 3 mm, this base guarantees durability and maintains the bag's shape over time, even with daily use. The smooth leather-effect surface gives an elegant and refined appearance, perfect for bucket bags, raffia baskets, and handmade accessories.
The pre-punched perimeter holes simplify yarn attachment without the need for additional tools: just insert the crochet hook into the holes and start working. This base is compatible with 3.5 to 4.5 mm crochet hooks and pairs perfectly with raffia, cord, thick cotton, and structured wool for all types of creative projects.
🧬 Material and structure: why faux leather works
Faux leather is a durable synthetic material that offers the appearance of natural leather without the high costs and with easier maintenance. Unlike genuine leather, faux leather does not require special treatments, is easy to clean with a damp cloth, and retains its smooth texture even after months of use. This makes it perfect for bags that need to withstand daily use, such as beach bags, storage baskets, and handmade accessories.
The 3 mm thickness guarantees rigidity without weighing down the bag: the base maintains its shape even when the bag is empty, preventing it from sagging or deforming. The rigid structure is essential for bucket bags and raffia baskets, where the base must support the weight of the contents without bending. Compared to wooden bases, faux leather is lighter and does not splinter, while compared to felt bases, it offers superior resistance to wear.
📦 Perimeter holes: how they work
The pre-punched perimeter holes are evenly distributed along the edge of the base and allow you to attach the yarn directly with the crochet hook, without the need to manually punch the base. This saves time and ensures an even distance between the stitches, which is essential for achieving a uniform and professional finish. The holes are large enough to fit 3.5 to 4.5 mm crochet hooks, compatible with raffia, cord, and thick cotton.
To start working, simply insert the crochet hook into the first hole, attach the yarn, and work a single crochet or a half double crochet in each hole. Once the first round is completed, proceed with regular increases to create the body of the bag. This technique is also suitable for beginners, because the holes guide the work and reduce the risk of mistakes. If you are working with thick raffia, you can use a yarn needle to make it easier to pass through the holes.
🧶 Recommended technique
The 18 cm round bag base is worked with a 3.5 to 4.5 mm crochet hook, depending on the thickness of the chosen yarn. For raffia and thick cord, use a 4 or 4.5 mm crochet hook to ensure a smooth finish and well-defined stitches. For cotton or structured wool, a 3.5 or 4 mm crochet hook is ideal for achieving a compact and durable fabric. The choice of crochet hook size affects the density of the work: a larger crochet hook creates wider stitches and a softer bag, while a smaller crochet hook produces a more rigid structure.
The most common technique for working on this base is the back loop single crochet, which creates a vertical ribbed effect and gives the bag a structured and professional appearance. After completing the first round in the holes, proceed with regular increases to widen the body of the bag, then work in the round without increases to create the desired height. This technique is also suitable for beginners and allows you to make bucket bags, baskets, and backpacks in just a few hours.
✨ Why choose this bag base
Compared to wooden bases, this faux leather base is lighter and does not splinter with use, maintaining a smooth surface even after months. Compared to felt bases, it offers superior rigidity and greater resistance to wear, which is essential for bags that need to support weight. Faux leather is also easier to clean than genuine leather: a damp cloth is enough to remove stains and dust, without the need for specific products or expensive treatments.
The pre-punched holes eliminate the need to manually punch the base, saving time and ensuring an even distance between the stitches. This translates into faster work and a neater and more professional final result. If you are making a bag for everyday use or to sell your creations, this base allows you to achieve expert-level quality even if you are just starting out.
🎨 What you can make
The 18 cm round bag base is perfect for crochet bucket bags, the most requested model for its versatile and spacious shape.

The rigid base ensures that the bag maintains its shape even when empty, giving it a professional and refined appearance.
👩🎨 Who it is suitable for
This bag base is suitable for both beginners and experts. The pre-punched holes guide the work and reduce the risk of mistakes, making the project accessible even to those who are new to crochet.

This base is highly sought after by hobbyists who make bags for personal use, artisans who sell handmade creations on Etsy or at craft fairs, and anyone looking for a personalized gift made by hand. The availability of multiple colors allows you to match the base with the chosen yarn, creating coordinated bags with refined details.

📌 Important note
The diameter and thickness may have tolerances of ±1-2 mm compared to the indicated measurements due to the handcrafted production process. Colors may vary slightly between different batches: if you are making multiple bags in the same color, we recommend purchasing all the bases you need at once to ensure uniformity. The faux leather is resistant to daily use, but avoid exposing the base to high temperatures or solvents that could damage the surface.
