Crochet Bags
This purse was inspired by the awesome JUL strap I was asked to review. I had some Berroco Indigo yarn left over from another project and they just seemed to fit together so well. I’d been thinking of making a granny square style purse for a while now, and everything finally came together to make that happen. I was so inspired by the results that I took the time to line it, which is an easy final touch that you can choose to do as well.

Chasing Diamonds Bag
Crochet Bags
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

Here's another pattern to make a non-stretchy crochet strap: using fishing line! I think the best thing about using fishing line to make sure your crochet strap is non-stretchy is that it doesn't add a whole lot of fiddling about with your project.
You won't have to make extra pieces or do anything fancy. Just make sure the fishing line follows along with each stitch and you're all set to go.
