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.
Yarn Stash Basket
I enjoyed making the small stash baskets so much I decided to see what I could do with 3-strands of medium weight yarn and I crocheted this Yarn Stash Basket. This container is great for so many purposes - from holding your WIP yarns to using to hold mittens, scarves and hats by the front door. Crocheted by working with 3-strands of medium weight held together this basket works up quickly and uses just over 3 balls of Red Heart Super Saver Yarn (236 yds balls). Have fun with your yarn!

Eclipse Bottle Holder
If you are one of the estimated 14-20 million people who will see the total solar eclipse on August 21, 2017, you will need to make sure you have the proper glasses and lots of water. We live just outside the path, but it seems like everyone around us, plus TONS from even further will be making the trek to see this awesome event. I wanted to make something to join in the eclipse excitement. I hope this water bottle holder and glass case will help you be prepared for the big day.
Pocket Full of Sunshine
It's finally summer (well, almost). I dream of days crocheting on the beach while my kids play (and leave me to my crafty ventures!) I also look forward to walking the shores and exploring, and that's how the Pocket Full of Sunshine came to be! One thing I hate about the beach is carrying around the big ol' beach bag. Sure, it's fine when we're there to lounge and swim, but what about just walking along the sand? All I need is a small pouch for some important things like my phone and keys.
