Japanese Crochet Pattern: Triangle Mesh Bag (Chart Included)

This crochet mesh bag has a sturdy feel for a mesh fabric, with a softly rounded triangular shape reminiscent of a rice ball.

By threading faux fur yarn through the mesh, you can reduce the transparency and give the bag a fresh new look.

It can serve as a stylish storage solution for your home, a compact everyday bag for carrying essentials, a small bag for quick errands or light shopping, or even a charming gift bag for small presents.

Slip your yarn inside and carry it on your arm, and it becomes the perfect portable project bag for crocheting on the go.

As for the yarns used in the sample piece, for the bag with the faux fur threaded through, the base mesh bag was made with “Knitworm Amity cotton fine” from Haru Wool, and the fur part was made with “actinia” from itoito.

I found them displayed side by side in the same section at the craft store, and the colors matched so perfectly that I mistakenly thought they were yarns from the same brand.

The finished bag turned out to be even more stylish and cute than I had imagined—and in fact, it looks much better in person than in the photos!

The sample shown here was made with Daruma Trad Cotton – Cotton 100%, a fingering-weight yarn that is smooth and easy to work with.

The yarn comes in a wide variety of beautiful colors—it’s hard to choose just one (in the best way!). Because the bag is small and lightweight, you might find yourself wanting to make several in different shades.

White is always a classic, but the pop colors are equally tempting. What colors will you choose?


This bag is designed as a single-piece construction, thoughtfully crafted so that the base appears seamless. I hope you’ll enjoy the clean, seamless look when using your finished bag.

As for techniques, there’s a small section using double treble crochet, so the difficulty rating is one star lower than “Mostly basic technique.” Other than that, no complicated stitches or symbols are used.

This mesh bag evokes the feeling of spring and summer crochet projects, yet it’s actually useful all year round. How about exploring this new mesh bag pattern for your next crochet project?
