Earlier this summer I got to spend some time in the southwest of the US, and that trip inspired the Capulin Cross Body Bag! The Capulin Cross Body Bag is made using the tapestry technique - you crochet over the unused yarn, and then switch colors (repeatedly) over the course of each round, creating images and shapes! A video tutorial is included for all the techniques used in this pattern. I hope you enjoy it!

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.

Cross Stitch Make-Up Bag / Pouch
I've been wanting to try cross stitching on crocheted fabric for a while now. I also thought that maybe you did too so I designed a small project for us to try it out on, a cross stitch make-up bag. This small zippered pouch is perfect for many different uses, but I plan to use it as my new make-up bag. The pattern includes a photo tutorial for adding a zipper to your crochet projects and for the cross stitching.
Chasing Diamonds Bag
This bag is just so fun, retro and chic! Perfect hand bag with a cross body chevron strap. With just a small section of tapestry crochet worked in just 2 colors, this would make a great introduction to this fabulous color technique! Full color graph is provided for the tapestry crochet section of the bag as well. At approximately 8” tall (excluding strap) x 13” wide, this bag is the perfect everyday go-to size. Line and add a zipper, if desired. Optional d-rings are crocheted directly to the bag for ease of construction and then strap is sewn to d-rings at the end. Strap is a retro chevron design to mimic the diamond design element of the bag. As written, strap is approximately 37” long once sewn to bag allowing the bag to be worn cross-body. However, instructions are provided to resize the strap as well
