The holidays are almost here and if you're like me, you always go the extra mile when it comes to crochet for those you love. The Snowflake Present Sack is a creative and fun project for the holidays. This Santa sack is perfect to take with you to a relatives house this season. Just pile in all your thoughtful gifts and go. It's a great way to have everything in one place so you don't leave any presents behind. Or make one as a personalized gift bag. It's like a second present for the one you love and it's reusable.

This Cute Cross Body Bag is slowly replacing all of my other bags. I'm serious. Since I crocheted this bag, I've been taking it everywhere. It's the perfect size for all of my essentials, and it's far more convenient to carry than my larger totes and bags. If you're looking for a classy crossbody bag that's simple to make and that you can use for just about anything, then this is the perfect pattern for you.

The hexagon patterns on this Flower Power Motif Bag make a super fun crochet purse for any girl to enjoy.

The Weekend Bucket Bag was inspired by Lion Brand's Jeans yarn - check out that front pocket! It's just the right size for most phones, and we all need a big pocket for those these days! The base of the bag is reinforced with plastic canvas, which is a great item to use for crochet projects like this - you can cut it to any size, it's inexpensive, and it's washable! Here, it helps the Weekend Bucket Bag hold its shape, and makes the bottom of the bag that much stronger - so you can fill it up and head out for a weekend of fun!

This clutch is perfect for carrying your phone, checkbook, and debit/credit/store cards. The combination of stitches, along with the contrasting colors, give this clutch design a very chic look that will compliment any outfit, whether you are headed to the grocery store or out for a night on the town. The pattern includes instructions for an optional wrist strap.

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.

If you're looking for a fun project that is quick to make, yet makes a fashion statement, look no further. Introducing the Buffalo Plaid Wristlet. Not too long ago, I stopped in my favorite coffee shop when inspiration struck! I saw a woman come in with a wristlet and I remembered everything I love about the lowly wristlet. It is small. It's convenient. It says ‘I'm busy, I'm important, and I'm stylish'. And right then, I knew I was going to design a buffalo plaid wristlet and use amazing purse hardware. It's what gives this wristlet her sassy edge, don't you think? Let's spice up the winter wardrobe this year!

Hazel's Market Bag came to me because I was in need of a simple bag that would carry a lot of stuff, but that wouldn't just be a gigantic bag if it were mostly empty. This bag sort of stretches to carry what is needed, but then springs back when not weighed down. I love it and I have many of them around the house. We use them for the farmer's market buys, library books, and as church bags. I've made many for gifts, and sold even more.

Create this gorgeous puff tote bag! This bag works up quickly and uses 7, 2.5 oz of 100% cotton yarn. I used Lily Sugar'n Cream yarn in 7 colors. Each skein will be enough to complete each color sequence on both sides with a little bit left over. You will crochet directly into the zipper for this project (this part is super easy!). Just poke into the zipper with an awl or sharp thicker needle and insert your crochet hook in the hole and crochet as usual. You will work both sides then sc pieces together with an outter seam. The finished bag measures 21″ wide and 14″ tall. You can add a lining if you plan on using the bag for smaller items, for larger items the bag will be fine as is. Enjoy the free pattern!
