Turn your yarn stash into something fabulous with a crochet bag pattern that’s as cute as it is functional. Whether you're heading to the market, the beach, or just want to upgrade your everyday look, there’s nothing like a handmade bag to add a pop of charm.
Crochet Bag
From bold textures to playful stitches, each pattern is a little adventure in creativity hook by hook, your next favorite accessory comes to life. Who needs store-bought when you can carry a one-of-a-kind piece made with love?
Base of the Bag
- Begin with a magic ring using your main yarn color.
- Work double crochet stitches into the ring.
- Continue to crochet in the round, increasing evenly in each round to keep the base flat.
- Repeat rounds with increases until the base reaches your desired diameter for the bottom of the bag.
Sides of the Bag
- After completing the base, begin working the sides without increasing.
- Continue crocheting in the round using a mesh or decorative stitch pattern.
- Maintain stitch count across rounds to form an even cylindrical body.
- Repeat until the bag reaches your preferred height.
Attaching the Sides (if constructed in pieces)
If you made two circular panels and a separate strip for the sides:
- Position the strip between the two circles.
- Crochet the edges of the strip to the perimeter of both circles using single crochet or slip stitches.
- Ensure the edges align evenly and the side strip is taut to create depth.
Bag Straps
- Crochet two long rectangular strips for handles.
- Adjust the length depending on whether you want a handbag or a shoulder bag.
- Securely attach each strap to the top edges of the bag on opposite sides using sturdy stitches or sewing with a yarn needle.
Crochet Flower
Flower Center
- Use yellow yarn and make a magic ring.
- Work several single crochet stitches into the ring to form a tight, round center.
Flower Petals
- Switch to white yarn for the petals.
For each petal:
- Chain a few stitches.
- Work double crochet or treble crochet stitches into the next stitch of the yellow center.
- This creates a rounded, petal-like shape.
Repeat the process around the center to create multiple petals evenly spaced.
Finishing the Flowers
- Fasten off the yarn once all petals are complete.
- Weave in all loose ends neatly.
- Make multiple flowers (e.g., five) to embellish the bag.
Assembling the Bag
- Arrange the finished flowers on the front panel of the bag as desired.
- Sew each flower securely onto the bag using a yarn needle and matching yarn.
- Ensure the placement is balanced for an aesthetically pleasing look.
