"This crochet shoulder bag pattern is simple, beginner friendly and easy to make. It's made using a combination of single crochet and spike stitch. I used a 2mm macrame cord for this one and I highly recommend it rather than substituting, although the pattern includes the recommended yarn to substitute. There are no accessories or hardware to purchase, and no sizing adjustments to be made. The straps are crocheted from the same macrame cord as the bag. "

"The Squidlet Pouch is a free crochet pattern I came up with to give you some ideas of what you can do with one Squidlet (mini skein).

This little pouch is worked in continuous rounds and works up in a flash!"

"This Crochet Rainy-Sunny Coin Purse was really pure crochet fun. When I started crocheting it, the plan was to attach it to a little bag clasp. However, after a few rows, I realized it was turning out way too big for the clasp. For a while, I totally abandoned this failed project. Then, on a cloudy and rainy day, both meteorologically and psychologically for me, I picked it up again and turned it into something completely different. The day stayed cloudy but my mood definitely improved! I hope this little crochet project will bring some sun into your day as well."

"The Outside In Purse is crocheted out of two rectangles, both made from the outside in. They're joined as they're made and the centers are seamed with a decorative cross stitch. I've used quite a few colors to create my little masterpiece, and it makes me oh-so-happy! The strap is reinforced with strapping on the inside so it won't grow as the purse is filled up. I know my bags tend to get rather heavy, so this is a great trick!"
