Every summer we spend a lot of time in our travel trailer. I am always needing a bag for something. Whether it's for a project, change of clothes, snacks or something else, I can never have enough bags. On our last trip, I decided I would try out a skein of the new Red Heart Super Saver Ombre and make a bag I could fit almost anywhere for those last minute needs. I had designed a “Farmer's Market Bag” a few years ago and have used it a ton. This time I added a drawstring to cinch in the top, plus just one (instead of the original two) handle to make it easier to carry and hang on hooks when not in use. I hope you will like this simple, but super usable, tote.

Perfect for the spring season is this Floral Purse. Crochet bag patterns like this allow you to practice your crochet stitches as this one involves double crochet and crochet instructions for multiple sizes. The video tutorial gives you a visual on how to crochet this purse.

Hit the beach in style this summer with this Straw Beach Bag. Use rafia yarn to complete this crochet pattern; it's softer than you might imagine and is surprisingly easy to crochet with. This bag is roomy enough to fit all your beach essentials!

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!

Correct me if I am wrong, but a girl can never have too many bags, especially when they sparkle like this Sparkly Chevron Bag. This easy crochet pattern only takes a few hours to make. Plus, it's just the right size for your evening's essential items including your cell phone, lipstick, and wallet. This is a great accessory for special occasions such as New Year's Eve and birthday celebrations.

This small gift bag is perfect for holding that little gift you want to surprise someone with, great size to fit a small jewelry box. It's made with all half double crochet stitches so it's easy and works up quickly. Use a single color if you like, or change colors every few rounds for a nice “scrap busting” project. Also looks great with self striping yarn. Pattern calls for worsted weight yarn and a size H hook, but could easily be adapted for different weight of yarn, just use a hook size appropriate for your yarn choice. Happy hooking!
