This easy crochet bag pattern works up quickly and easily. It features the V-stitch and triple crochets to create a beautiful stitch pattern that you’ll enjoy making for yourself and your family and friends.

I used variegated yarn for this crochet bag. While I love the mix of colors, I find that variegated yarn can sometimes make it harder to see the beautiful texture of the stitches, which seems to be the case here. Even so, I’m happy with how the finished bag turned out.

Choose a solid color, or add stripes using leftover yarn to make this match your style and outfits.

Leave the bag as is, or line it with a pocket liner and a zipper following this tutorial for lining a crochet bag.

The Handles

Lay the bag flat to place your markers for the handles. Count over 18 sts on the sides of the bag and place stitch marker in 19th stitch. Counting the stitch markers, you should have 20 sts marked off in the middle. Do the same on the other side. Stitch markers should align on each side of the bag. Do not crochet into the 20 stitches in the middle. Here is a tutorial.
Note: To keep things even, I like to crochet into the back bumps of the chains made for the handles.
Rnd 38: Ch 1, sc in same st as join and into each st up to marked st, *loosely ch 60 (or any number depending on how long or short you want the handles), sk the 20 sts marked off in the middle*, sc in next 36 sts; rep from * to * once; then sc in remaining sts; join with sl st in first sc. [72 sts and 120 chs]
