Our Favorite Crochet Bag Patterns

by Leave a Comment

Bags are an ever-popular crochet accessory and a way to elevate your look to the next level. With so many different style options, there’s a bag or purse style for every outfit and occasion: a sturdy messenger bag or backpack for work or school, a large and roomy tote bag for shopping trips or the beach, even simple little handbags big enough for your phone, keys and some money. Sure, you can buy a bag or purse that’s perfectly suited to your tastes and needs, but there’s something about working up that crochet bag yourself. And with so many different types of crochet bag patterns to choose from, you’re bound to find just the perfect bag for you.

Crochet purses or crochet tote bags – you’ll find all sorts of great bag options here. My favorite, listed below, is the Autumn Day Tote – it’s a simple and roomy tote bag that’s worked up with solid-colored crochet granny squares and features sturdy pre-purchased straps and a chic lining for long-lasting durability. It’s so simple, but it looks so classic and timeless. If that just isn’t your style, there are many other crochet bags, big and small, worked in rounds or in granny squares, to choose from in this collection of 22 crochet handbags from our friends at AllFreeCrochet.

Seashore Solutions: 23 Crochet Tote Bag Patterns

by 2 Comments

So, summer is almost officially here, but you have at least a month before it is actually beach season. The weather isn’t quite as warm as you need it to be to truly enjoy a warm and wonderful day in the sun, sand, and surf. At least, that’s the case for us here in Chicago. If you’re a Florida or California crafter, I am crazy jealous. Either way, one of the best ways to learn how to make a beach bag is to create crochet bag patterns. Crochet tote bag patterns make fantastic beach accessories because they are sturdy without being too heavy. Plus, if you make them lacy enough, the sand can fall right through or you can easily line these light crochet patterns to make clean-up simple.

Sometimes it can be hard to find the right crochet patterns to hook up in the summer. Bulky projects like an afghan can’t travel, and you won’t wear a new crochet scarf pattern for months! Make something you can bring along on road trips and actually use the next day when you make the sunshine-approved crochet bag patterns in Seashore Solutions 23 Crochet Tote Bag Patterns.

21 Ways to Crochet, Knit or Sew a Bag

by 4 Comments

I have a confession to make: I simply love bags. Big totes, small pouches – I don’t care how big it is. If a bag catches me eye, I simply HAVE to have it. While it’s fun to go shopping and check out the latest style, it’s not so fun to watch my bank account dwindle. I’ve realized that I must seek out the best possible DIY projects to recreate my favorite bag patterns.

When you learn how to knit, crochet and sew your own bag, you have the world at your fingertips. Who needs fancy designers when you can bring your own homemade bag to life? My favorite way to make a statement is by upcycling old items like jeans and turning them into memorable handmade bags. Get inspired and get to work – you may never spend money on a handbag ever again!

Get a Head Start on those Crochet Christmas Gifts!

by Leave a Comment

I know what you’re thinking: “Today is July 2nd. Why is there a crochet Christmas gifts post here from AllFreeChristmasCrafts?

Well, I’ll give you an answer . . . in the form of a scenario.

It’s the day after Thanksgiving. Black Friday. You shopped from midnight to noon, only stopping to eat, and now you’re home. You’re about to take a nice, long nap. As you snuggle into bed under one of your many crocheted afghans, you are contemplating all of your great steals. You’ve crossed several people off your Christmas list with your big electronic purchases, like that TV for your son or the digital camera for your brother. You probably bought enough toys for your youngest son, and you hit DSW hard when you picked out shoes for each of your sisters. But you didn’t finish shopping for everyone . . . not even in the twelve hours you were out this morning. You forgot that you promised to crochet your neighbor a Christmas Poinsettia Scarf. No big deal; it’ll take less than a day to make one of those crochet Christmas gifts. But what about the Crocheted Holiday Hats? Your sister-in-law begged you to make four of them for your nephews. And you absolutely cannot forget the Huggable Penguin for your youngest daughter. She’s been asking for it every day since last Christmas.

You had planned to make a couple of those Christmas Crochet Tote Bags for your friends at the office. The Christmas mantle could use an update, and you’d wanted to try out this pattern for the Vintage Granny Square Christmas Stocking ever since you stumbled upon it six months ago. And afghans. You have to crochet so many afghans.

Fortunately, you are not going to be a part of that nightmarish scenario, because we at AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com are here to provide you with great crochet Christmas patterns that you can get started on now!
