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.

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 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 Pink Purse
Add a pop of pink to any outfit with the Little Pink Purse. Made by joining together two crocheted granny squares, this easy peasy purse is just the right size to carry all of your must-have items such as keys, cell phone, and some cash. Girls of all ages will love carrying this girly girl purse. A fun, frilly edge and matching strap gives it the perfect finishing touch. Feel free to also add a liner, if desired.
Stingray Purse or Pal
This cute crochet stingray is a perfect gift project to make for kids of any age!
From the blogger: "After making the Pocket Full of Sunshine and the Pocket Full of Rainbows purses, my daughter (who quickly took them over) requested a stingray purse. Immediately I thought, 'That's a fun idea!' As soon as I finished the purse base, she wanted to have it. She didn't even want to wait for the handle to be added. After our photo shoot with the purse, she requested I remove the handle. This made me think 'This could easily be a cute stuffed animal too!'
