🧶 Bag Bases on LacariaRicami
The bag base is the rigid foundation from which a crochet bag begins: the holes along the perimeter allow you to work the first round directly onto the base, helping the bag maintain its shape and protecting it from wear. Here you will find crochet bag bases in faux leather and imitation leather, genuine leather, round and square wood, and feet to finish the base.
Product pages include dimensions, thickness, hole diameter, and, for models with feet, the included hardware. For the rest of the bag, see our bag handles, bag chains, and bag yarns. Fast shipping throughout Italy, free on orders over €29.90.

🪡 How to Use the Bag Base
The perforated base is used as follows:
- First round: Work a single crochet stitch into each perimeter hole using a hook suitable for your yarn; product pages indicate compatible yarns (ribbon, cord, cotton) for many bases.
- The walls: Work up successive rounds, increasing at the corners if the shape requires it.
- The feet: For bases without feet, they are secured with screws after assembly; in models with feet, they are already attached.
For yarns and cords, see the cords for bags and the yarns for bags.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions about Bag Bases
What is a crochet bag base?
It is a rigid base with holes around the edge: you work the first round of stitches into the holes and then build up the sides of the bag. It keeps the shape and protects the bottom from wear.
How do you make the base of a crochet bag?
Start with a rigid perforated base: work one single crochet stitch into each edge hole using a crochet hook suitable for your yarn, then continue with the subsequent rounds until you reach the desired height. If the base does not have feet, you can add them with the screws once finished.
Which base should I choose for a shoulder bag?
Rectangular or oval bases in eco-leather or faux leather are great for shoulder bags, with feet if you want to protect the bottom. Check the size and holes on the product sheet.
What is the difference between an eco-leather, genuine leather, and wood base?
Eco-leather and faux leather are 3 mm thick, rigid, and easy to work with; genuine leather is 4 mm thick and artisanal; poplar wood is lightweight, with 3 and 6 mm holes.
What hole size is needed for ribbon yarn?
The holes range from 3 to 6 mm depending on the model: for ribbon or thicker yarns, choose the larger holes and try a sample. The diameter is indicated in the product sheet.
Do the bases have feet?
Some models have the feet pre-installed; for others, you will find sets of 4 screw-in feet to apply after assembly.
