Join me in the ultimate hunt for the most elegant crochet bag variations with English video tutorials. I have chosen a total of twenty-six designs across more than 6 bag types that I will present to you in the upcoming discussions.
That’s gonna be purses, drawstring bags, totes, shoulder and crossbody bags, and themed bags. This is the first part of this series, and I have five irresistible crochet bag designs to share patterns of.
The themes of this part will be bunny, flowers, and beautiful crochet stitches. So, if you are looking for any crochet bag that falls under this category, continue reading.
Rabbit Crochet Bag Pattern
Let’s crochet a flapped handbag purse with oh-so cute bunny ears and an embroidered mouth. As 2mm macrame yarn is used, it is both stronger and more flexible, and has an elegant and professional finish.
There is a small pearled handle attached through metal clasps. You can also crochet an I-cord, a chain, or a bobble stitch handle.
There are two color panels on the purse with a solid edging around the flap that is sewn later on. Wanna crochet? Choose from a red or a pink bunny!
Crochet A Shoulder Bag
This is a beautiful boho shoulder bag with an elegant texture of stripes of puff and double crochet V-stitch. It has two 100cm handles that double as a drawstring and keep the bag shut when carried.
There is also a solid, rectangular base and a 6-petal flower charm crocheted from T-shirt yarn.
You will want to use puff texture on the sides and double crochet texture for the front and back panel of the body. This looks oh-so cute in white, but you can definitely try colors like aqua, brown, or pink.
Yarn: Hemp and cotton blend yarn

Crochet A Drawstring Bag
With the puff V-stitch texture all around, the I-cord handle, and a pair of leaves on strings, this is the most elegant variant of the crochet drawstring rose bag.
When you draw the strings, the rim will become a beautiful bouquet of roses, much similar to the bouquet coasters. You will want to use two shades of green and purple or any other color of wool yarn to crochet yours.
You can construct it as a single piece by working in the rounds from bottom up. The rose pattern is also basic, and you can definitely try other flowers like daisy, sunflower, or tulip.
Crochet A Purse
Let’s crochet a beautifully textured crossbody purse with a wide flap and a metallic clasp closure. As metal rings are used for attaching the handle, you can easily detach it and hold it as a clutch bag.
Such bags are usually crocheted and look prettier with macrame or T-shirt yarn, but the recommended one for this is hem-cotton blend yarn.
You will first want to crochet a rectangle base and then work the sides around it all using the beautiful criss-cross stitch. If you want to learn crocheting this stitch in detail, there are many dedicated tutorials available.
The flap should be attached separately and crocheted in the same color as the bag body. Wanna crochet? Try in pink, aqua, black, or sea green for a classical look!

Crochet A Short Meh Bag
This easy, short-height handbag has a beautiful cross-stitch pattern and a daisy flower charm, the only bag you need for spring. This is, however, wider due to a 28cm oval base.
I like the choice of reverse single crochet as an edging for the rim, as it is a simple, beautiful, and widely known technique.
You will also learn crocheting a cord similar to I-cord in this tutorial that makes round handles.
