Welcome back to another part of the “Hunt for Must-Have Crochet Bags Series”. Today, I have chosen my favorite variations of a tote, sling, crossbody, and drawstring bag.
From the mesh stitch bag for summer to the macrame yarn bag for formal events, you’re gonna find really beautiful bag designs.
For kids, I have a cute Hello Kitty bag, and for clever construction seekers, a square bag. And these bags are easy, quick, and fun to crochet.
Did you miss the first part? Check:
Crochet A Summer Tote Bag
Let’s crochet a beautiful colorwork tote bag with a mesh texture and knotted crochet bows. The base, however, is solid, but the handle again requires mesh stitch. With that said, this beach tote bag should be lightweight and comfy to carry along.
Based on the number of rows and the height of the bag, the recommended number of color panels is four. You can definitely crochet yours with two panels, and also use shades of the same color.
For this one, the square mesh is used, which is the easiest of this type. Wanna crochet? Use cotton yarn with a 2.5mm crochet hook.
Finished Size: 26 cm by 27 cm.
Crochet A Handbag
This 2-in-1 crochet handbag is crocheted using macrame yarn, which makes it stretchy and gives a premium look. There is a magnetic button for closure, two pearled bow knots as embellishemnts and an I-cord handle that also works as drawstirng.
Except for the two puff V-stitches in each row, this whole handbag only uses double crochet.
Since it has a balanced texture (boutique look), it’s perfect for formal occasions. Wanna try? Choose from aqua, hot pink, or sea green for the same premium look.
Why 2-in-1? Probably because of the adjustable handle or because the strap functions in two ways.
More hand and shoulder bags are here!
Crochet A Handbag (Version 2)
With the traditional jewelry button closure, beautiful criss-cross stitch pattern, and stripework, this is the ultimate handbag option. It has a solid circular base but sides are closed in pymaid-style. Otherwise, you will end up with a round crochet basket.
There are two options for the handle: a 28 cm pearl strap for hand-carrying and a 76-78 cm crocheted i-cord strap for shoulder wear. So, I must call it “2-in-1 bag.”
As for stripes, you have to alternate between white and your chosen color. My recommendation would be to use macrame yarn for this one, too.
Crochet A Cat Bag
This cute Hello Kitty crochet bum bag is from the “Animal Bag Series” that I will be bringing very soon. Gonna be a long zipper bag for baby girls showing Hello Kitty holding a Heart.
Unlike the bag in part 1, thanks to the shape of the bag and colorwork, you can crochet the full body of Hello Kitty. There are stuffed ears, arms, and tail, and flat add-ons like a bow, cat paws, 1-round crochet heart.
Once filled with travel stuff, it will already be a cute Hello Kitty doll attached to you. There is a ribbed rectangular strap, so you can easily adjust its height.
Size: 11 cm x 20 cm
Crochet A Drawstring Bag
Let’s crochet a miniature drawstring pouch from only two solid granny squares and beads with this pattern. This pouch is from “Bags with Clever Construction Series” and is the easiest of them.
Very little extra crocheting is needed after joining the squares. With a small handle, you can use it as a garlic bag or what many call the supplemetry bag by attaching to a tote bag.
I don’t think many of you will be able to buy the Papery Yarn that the designer recommends, so I highly recommend trying with cotton yarn. Wanna crochet as a gift bag? Choose from aqua and brown.
