COMING NOVEMBER 12th 2026: HOW TO CROCHET A BAG BOOK
More than patterns

This isn't a pattern book.
It's a bag-making handbook.

Most books hand you steps to copy. This one teaches you how bags are actually built, so you learn to think like a bag maker, not just follow along.

The sisters behind da-Mira
The Stitcherhood

Hello! We're the sisters behind da-Mira

We're Melda Auditia & Mira Alissa — two sisters who grew up surrounded by yarn, fabric, and our mum's bag-making table. What began as a lockdown hobby grew into da-Mira, our cosy little home for stitching.

With a background in fashion and textile design and years of making bags, it all went into this book, everything we love about crochet. Hope you love this book as much as we do!

Book published by Quadrille, part of Penguin Random House.

Questions
ABOUT BOOK
What language is the book written in?+
The book is in English, using US crochet terms throughout, with a full glossary so the terms are easy to follow.
Is this book suitable for complete beginners?+
Not quite complete beginners. Master chain, slip stitch and double crochet first, and the rest of this book flows easily from there, with video tutorials on our Support Hub for the more complex techniques. Just scan the QR code on the pattern pages.
Are you available for press, interviews, or review copies?+
For interview requests, review copy requests, or any other press and publicity enquiries, please reach out directly to our publisher at Penguin Random House: Izzy Danilczuk at IDanilczuk@penguinrandomhouse.co.uk.
PRE-ORDER & PAYMENT
How and when do I get the free mini bag charm pattern?+
Every pre-order comes with our exclusive mini bag charm pattern for free! A printed pattern is included with your book when it ships. It's only available during pre-order, so once that window closes, it's gone for good.
Why am I charged now instead of when it ships?+
Pre-orders are paid in full at checkout to reserve your copy and your free bonus pattern, ahead of launch. It locks everything in so your book, and the charm pattern tucked inside, are guaranteed when the first edition arrives.
What payment methods can I use?+
QRIS/credit cards/e-wallets/bank transfer at checkout.
Can I cancel my pre-order?+
Reach out to us via email or Instagram DM @da___mira and we'll sort it out before the book ships.
SHIPPING
When will my book ship?+
All orders will start shipping on 12th of November 2026. We'll email a tracking number the moment it's on its way.
Do you ship across all of Indonesia?+
Yes! This store ships nationwide, right across Indonesia. We don't ship internationally from here, though. If you're outside Indonesia, head to www.da-mira.com, or check geni.us/howtocrochetabag for your nearest Amazon/online bookstores.
How much is shipping?+
Shipping is calculated at checkout, shipped with JNE REG. With bestie discount: Rp20.000 OFF!
ORDERS & RETURNS
Do I need an account, or can I check out as a guest?+
You can check out as a guest, but creating an account is quick and means faster checkout next time, plus first dibs on future da-Mira drops!
What's your refund policy?+
Because every book is reserved especially for you, pre-orders can be cancelled for a full refund any time before your book ships. Once it's on its way, the order becomes non-refundable. But if anything arrives damaged or faulty, send us a DM on Instagram or email us at sales@da-mira.com right away and we'll always make it right.
