Modern Crochet Bag Patterns
Crocheting a crochet bag pattern is a great idea for a few reasons.
- First, it’s a fun project. You get to pick your colors and add your own twist to the bag, making it completely yours.
- Second, it’s actually useful! A crocheted bag is great for carrying things like your wallet, phone, or even your crochet supplies.
- Last (but not least) it’s a relaxing way to spend time.
Crochet bags are the perfect warm weather pattern when you feel like changing it up from the same old baby blanket and scarf designs you’ve been working on all winter.
Supplies for A Crochet Bag
To crochet a bag pattern, you’ll need a few supplies:
- Yarn: Choose a yarn that’s durable and suitable for bags and purses. Cotton or acrylic yarns are often good choices because they’re strong and easy to wash.
- Crochet Hook: The size of the hook depends on the yarn you use and the pattern’s recommendations. Usually, a larger hook makes the work go faster and creates a looser weave.
- Pattern: A good crochet pattern will guide you through each step. There are plenty of patterns available online, like the ones I have curated below.
- Scissors: To cut the yarn when you’re finished or need to change colors.
- Yarn Needle: A blunt needle with a big eye to weave in the ends of your yarn.
- Stitch Markers: These can be helpful to mark certain stitches or rounds, especially if your bag is more complex.
- Extras (Optional): Depending on the design, you might also need buttons, zippers, lining fabric, or handles, but only if you want to add them to your purse will they be needed.
Remember to choose colors and materials that you really like, as this will make the project more fun for you!
