"This tote bag is comprised up of floral afghan squares that were inspired by Hydrangeas, and also features a beautiful ribbed pattern. As far as the lining goes, in the past, I have crocheted other tote bags that I chose not to line, and I ended up really disappointed with how much they stretched out, so I made sure with this one that I added a lining to the bag itself, and the strap. I highly recommend if you will be carrying around anything with a little weight. I used Red Heart Super Saver, which is a pretty durable yarn, however, I think a cotton yarn such as Lily Sugar n Cream would have been a better option for something that will keep a lot of use, and dragged around from one place to another. The cotton option will also make the bag a little larger."

"This light and airy market bag looks perfectly at home on your favorite beach, or at your favorite farmer's market. The airy lace lets it work up quickly, too! You can make this tote bag using just one cake of Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend, or just under 300 yards of your choice of dk weight yarns. The best part? This bag uses only basic stitches. You'll love how the simple repeats work up into such a fun, geometric lace pattern. Perfect for crocheters of all skill levels!"

"This is an easy beginner friendly project to create an essential summer bag. I used raffia yarn that makes the bag nice and sturdy. The pattern uses half double crochet stitch worked through back loop only that creates a lovely texture. This is a quick make which you will have finished in no time. The bottom of the bag is an oval shape @ 26 cm width and 30 cm height. I have included a quick video tutorial in the pattern to help you on how to crochet the perfect oval every time."

"This adorable little bag can be used as a soap cozy (gift with homemade soap or facial scrubbies!), a favor/candy pouch, or a small gift bag (gift with a new pair of earrings or gift bag!). I worked in the back loops to create the fun ribbed pattern paired with a color block of cream and a summery, bright green. This cozy took me just under 45 minutest to work up, and just a small amount of yarn."

"The Patchwork Sampler Bag pattern is a great stashbusting project. It requires 13 6" crochet squares (or a different size for a larger or smaller bag!). All of the squares pictured have free video tutorials on my blog, and there is a video tutorial showing you how to sew them all up to make this fun project! Practice your skills or learn a new stitch without the commitment of an entire blanket or sweater, and get a fun bag at the end to show off your skilllllz."

"Bags and purses are so popular to crochet, but finding the right purse handles doesn't always fit in with your project! These purse handles are made very quickly, and are sturdy and durable. They can be made in any colors to match your project, or in jute which will coordinate with any colors. Black is also another good option and it too will work with any color of purse being made! Add this pattern to your bags and purses patterns for a quick finishing detail!"

"This easy crochet tote pattern features a solid bottom, nice double handles and it's an easy shape and size to carry all of your groceries in. It's also perfect to use in the summer as a beach bag - it's easy to shake out if sand manages to find it's way into the bag (because it ALWAYS does). Made with worsted weight cotton yarn, this crochet market bag makes a perfect gift for your favorite environmentally conscious friends."

"This is the cutest floral bag crochet pattern you'll enjoy making. The crochet puff flower bag tutorial is up on my YouTube channel. It has step by step process to make this wonderful purse. You can choose from many different colour combinations and trust me they'll look gorgeous. Make a rough draft of your bag so that you know how many flowers you'll require, once the flowers are ready, sew them together. You can use a button instead of the zip and can make the strap from yarn if a chain is not available. Just go ahead and play with different options and share what you design. Cheers "

Hello! I want to share with you this pattern to make a mini koala backpack which can also be turned into a little crossbody bag with the way we'll place the strap, it is a very very easy and quick project and the kids are gonna love it! We'll use yarn of any color you choose for your main color, I chose beige, black for the eyes and brown for the nose. We are also going to need a button, a little bit of white felt, tapestry needle, crochet hook 4 mm and 3 mm. You can change the yarn weight as you like and the hook accordingly keeping in mind it will change the final size of your backpack. Mine is about 19 cm / 7,5 inches just the koala portion, plus the straps that will be as long as you wish to make them.
