"Make either a mini kiss clasp coin purse, or a drawstring pouch, with this free Rainbow Purse and Pouch crochet pattern! The finished coin purse or pouch measures approximately 2.5” high by 3” wide, with an opening of 2” in diameter. I have used Drops Paris and Rico Essential Cotton Aran/Worsted weight yarn, with a 4.5mm hook. You can use any Aran/Worsted weight yarn, but I would recommend using cotton for sturdiness and durability. Exact gauge isn't too important. Just keep your stitches compact to avoid large gaps in your finished purse."

"There are so many different ways to crochet market bags, and the Caldwell Crochet Market Bag happens to use some cute granny squares in its construction. These granny squares are created with puff stitches and open double crochet v-stitches. You'll first whip out your squares, sew them together, then add a little border and rope handles to finish it off. I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton line: cotton aran, which is a wonderfully soft and easy cotton to work with. "

Once you have created your base you can make your bag as deep or shallow as you like, the sturdy stitch means it's perfect for all of your groceries. I love the large tote size as it works just as easily with a laptop and an essential crochet project as it does when it's stuffed full of beach accessories. The best bit is that as it's made from cotton it can be washed easily if your sun cream leaks or you drip your coffee on it - or is that just me?"

"This is the fifth design in my Dip-Dyed series - a cosmetic bag, or crochet hook pouch! This bag features a fun ribbed pattern, two color blocks, and uses simple crochet stitches. I don't often carry around a purse, and am not really a make up person, but I do enjoy using my bag for crochet hooks, and other essentials - yes, I keep a nail file in my hook bag as an essential! I recommend cotton yarn because it's more durable, and this bag will most likely see a lot of use, and being pulled and pushed around in a larger bag/purse, and you'll need just over an hour to put it together."
