Crochet Bag Pattern – Lacy Textures

February 16, 2018 · Rhelena · 8 Comments

A textured crochet bag worked up in a variegated cotton yarn sits on a chair.

This crochet bag pattern features a lovely textured design that you will enjoy showing off wherever you go. The stitch pattern is similar to the crunch stitch, but with a slightly different twist. It is shown below in a variegated cotton yarn, but any solid color will look great as well. And with summer not too far away, you could also try a combination of bright and lively colors to bring this crochet bag to life.

Although this bag pattern is labeled as an intermediate design, it is actually easy and a mindless pattern to follow once you get going on it. It is crocheted in the round and in one piece from the bottom up, which means less ends to weave in at the end.

The Yarn

I chose a worsted weight cotton yarn, Bernat Handicrafter. Any similar yarn will work just as well. Cotton adds more strength to the bag and helps to eliminate excess stretch when the bag is used, but acrylic can work too. Regardless of what material you choose, you will want to line your bag for extra strength and durability.

The Size

This bag is on the smaller side, but you can easily increase as needed. Simply make your base to the size that you want and then follow the rest of the pattern making necessary adjustments for the handles, as outlined below. Thus, it’s easy to use this crochet bag pattern to make a cute purse or a large beach bag for the summer.

The Handles

The handles are marked off before you begin crocheting to ensure that they are centered once the bag is finished. This is a necessary step as the seam can fall into different areas for crocheters, making it harder to write the pattern in terms of where to put your stitches.

Marking off your handles also comes in handy in times when you make adjustments to to the size of the bag. Below is a basic image, but a video is also available below the pattern. I also have a photo tutorial on how to crochet bag handles, which goes into the details on the math if you change the size of the bag.

This image shows how to mark off the bag handles so they will end up centered on the crochet bag.

I used a cotton in the sample, but any similar weight yarn will work. And when you’re done, you’ll want to line it for a durable crochet bag.

    Thank you so much for sharing the pattern! With a few tiny mods this will make the perfect messenger bag for my youngest son. He’s been combing through patterns and when he found this he asked if I could make it slightly wider without increasing the depth or height. He also requested a flap with a frog or buckle and a Shoulder strap. Like I said easy mods for such a simple pattern. With a denim or fleece lining and some darker yarn colors he will be in heaven!

      My seam is generally at an angle. The degree can vary from person to person, which is why I mark off the handles so that it still works out without distorting the bag.

        does the slip stitch count as a stitch when counting the stitches for the handle?

          The joining slip stitch? No, it does not count as a stitch. :)
