Here's how to make crochet bag handles the easy way! There are no extra loose ends to weave in, and you can use this technique on any bag, regardless of the size and regardless of the stitch pattern.
How To Crochet Handles
A built-in handle makes for a really professional look - but it's actually really easy to make. This pattern will show you how to work handles into your crochet. This easy technique is great for beginner homeware projects such as baskets and bags.
Tricolor Tote
"The Tricolor Tote has so many fun details - changing stitch patterns, fun tassels, braided handles - but its soft color palette and orderly structure bring balance to this fast and fun (and free!) crochet pattern! The Tricolor Tote was designed using Lion Brand Fast-Track, which is a really fun and unique yarn! Soft cotton/poly blend in a tape-like shape, it's like crocheting with your favorite t-shirts. And I love the look it gives projects! This tote is also another pattern on my never-ending search for the ideal bag handles. I've tried many different methods over the years, but I think this is the first time I've tried braids! This yarn lends itself really well to these braided handles, with only a tiny bit of stretch, lots of strength, and some great color play that ends in tassels! If this handle style isn’t to your taste, you can always add pre-purchased handles, or crochet your own using the linked tutorial!"
Spike Stitch Makeup Bag
The Spike Stitch Makeup Bag is a great way to stylishly stash all your small goodies. You can use this brightly colored crochet pattern to hold your makeup, keys, loose change, or even your crafting essentials. The bag is extremely easy to keep clean, because it is worked in cotton. Feel free to repeatedly toss it into the washing machine and dryer without thinking twice. The easy crochet bag features the spike stitch, so this is a great way to try out a new technique. The pattern also has a drawstring and a sturdy design, so you can cinch the top of the bag to make sure all your belongings remain safely inside

"Bags and purses are so popular to crochet, but finding the right purse handles doesn't always fit in with your project! These purse handles are made very quickly, and are sturdy and durable.
