"The Quick Little Tunisian Bag was created because I designed a Quick Little (crochet) Bag a few years ago and it is still super popular. I thought Tunisian crocheters deserved a fun and fabulous quick little bag as well. The way the colors work in this design makes me happy. Unlike the original, this bag is finished off with a button and some tassels. Happy stitching! I've also designed a Quick Little Knit Bag to be part of this set."

Easy How To Crochet A Bag Step By Step
If you have ever wanted a handmade bag that looks complicated but is actually approachable, this easy crochet bag is the project to try. This step-by-step design turns plush yarn and simple stitches into a sculptural botanical tote with raised leaf details and a sturdy arched handle. It is especially useful for craft fairs because shoppers notice texture immediately, while the construction is simple enough to make in repeatable batches. Beginners can work slowly through each round, use stitch markers, and build confidence without juggling many separate pieces. The finished bag also makes a thoughtful gift, market sample, or cozy everyday accessory. The leaf-inspired texture gives it a boutique look, but the pattern relies on familiar US crochet stitches and counted rounds. If you are searching for how to crochet a bag step by step, this pattern gives you a practical, beginner-friendly roadmap from the foundation to the final handle.
Tunisian Watermelon Bag
The Watermelon Tunisian Bag is worked using Tunisian crochet stitches and an afghan hook. This bag is a great way to practice your Tunisian Crochet stitch work as well as a great way to practice how to change colors in this craft. It's a super cute summertime purse, but it also makes a great play purse for a little girl. I know my daughter took this one over as soon as it was done. It features bright green yarn, coral pink yarn, and little black buttons for seeds.
Tunisian Crochet Crescent Bag
The Tunisian Crochet Crescent Bag is a unique crochet pattern to work up because it doesn't use a traditional crochet hook. Instead, a Tunisian Afghan Hook is needed to work up this particular crocheted bag, in addition to a regular 6.5 mm crochet hook. This bag is made in three different Tunisian crochet stitches, in the short row technique, for its unique look. After crocheting, the bag is felted, giving it extra strength. Tunisian crochet is a great medium for felting and produces beautiful results. The crocheted tote measures about 17 inches across and 16 inches tall (not including handle).
Little Button Bag
If you are like most women, you can't get enough of fun bags and purses. And, if you're like me, you can't really afford to buy all the fancy bags you want. But being crafty has its benefits ... we can make our own bags!
"This Little Button Bag is a fun, quick wristlet-style purse - just right for keeping your smaller items organized in the depths of your big bag. It's the perfect size for your 'monthly' female necessities, complete with a strap to fit around your wrist for discreetly carrying to the restroom. A basketweave pattern along the middle of the bag adds a nice detail and gives it a bit of texture. Pick your favorite button and colors to match and you'll have a special little purse in no time.
Native Sun Square Bag
I have really been wanting to make this bag for a long time. I absolutely love crocheting bags! I have made several bags over the years, such as the super popular Gradient Blocks Handbag, Monhegan Beach Tote, and Splish Splash Mini Tote. Originally I thought I would expand the square to 12″, because that was about the size I wanted the bag to be, but once I got started I thought of how cute it would be to have four squares together instead. I'm so glad I made it this way! It's fantastic!
