iS iT rEaLLy poSSibLE To haVE too many bags? We don't think

so, either. here we have a wide array of crochet bags for everyday

occasions—going to market, to your crochet meeting, to lunch with

a friend. Our 6 Free crochet Bag Patterns will help increase your bag

stash as you decrease your yarn stash.

the Farmer’s Market Tote by Judith L. Swartz is a classic mesh

market bag. this crochet tote bag has an extra-sturdy closed bottom

to keep things secure, as well as a sturdy, long shoulder handle. it's

an easy-to-make bag that will serve many uses.

Handy Utility Cases by Judith L. Swartz keep your various electronic

devices safe. it's easy to modify to fit the size of your particular device.

this is a great learning project for young crocheters. these projects are

perfect stash-busters and will make great stocking-stuffers. the pat-

tern includes directions for personalizing the bags with cross-stitch.

the Chevron Shoulder Bag by Grace talcott is a fun bag for tweens.

this bag features a great ripple stitch that is perfect for taking begin-

ning crocheters to the next level. Just pull your favorite colors from

your stash and start stitching!

the Slouchy Purse by Drew Emborsky goes to the office as easily

as it goes to lunch. this crocheted purse is just right for a phone,

notebook and a few other essentials. the ribbed-look stitch is sturdy

and the slouch adds stylish dash. the short handle is great, but it's

easy to lengthen if you prefer.

the Larger Than Life Bag by cecily Keim is a serious go-to-

crochet-meeting bag. Showcase your favorite yarns in the motifs. A

fabric lining and handle keeps the motifs from stretching out.

the Message in a Flower Bag by Jill Wright is a messenger bag

made sturdy with felting. Unspun yarn is then used to needle-felt

a design onto the flap. Make the pretty pansies shown or make up

your own design.

Whatever bag suits your style, have fun! Share photos of your version

of these crocheted bags in the gallery at crochetMe.com.

design by Judith L. Swartz

Originally published in Getting Started Crochet (Interweave, 2006)

LARGE ENOUGH TO HOLD A WEEK’S WORTH OF PRODUCE from the country

stand yet small enough to tote a baguette; this lightweight power shopping bag is collapsible

and can be folded up small to keep it handy. The linen yarn provides strength without bulk,

and the loose stitches keep the bag flexible.

Finished Size: circumference: about 26 1 ⁄ 2 "; length: about 17", excluding handles;

handles: about 18" each, in length, untied.

Yarn: Euroflax Athens (100% wet-spun linen; 200 yd [183 m], 100 g; ): Moss

Lake, 3 skeins.

Hook: Size G/6 (4 mm). Adjust hook size if necessary to obtain correct gauge.

Notions: Safety pins, for marking rounds; yarn needle, for weaving in ends.

Gauge: 18 stitches and 12 rounds = 4" with size G/6 (4 mm) hook in half double

crochet.

Skill Level: Ea sy.

Note: this piece is worked in the round in a spiral fashion up to the handles. So

instead of joining rounds with a slip stitch, the beginning of the round is marked

but worked over. the result is no line where the rounds meet, but the pattern is

slightly askew due to the spiral effect. Linen yarn tends to stretch, so the handles

are made to knot at the top, allowing for adjustability.

Bag

ch 4, join with sl st to form ring.

Rnd 1: ch 2 (does not count as stitch), work 10 hdc into center of ring—10 hdc. Use

safety pin in last stitch to mark the end of round. Move pin at the end of each round.

Rnd 2: Work 2 hdc in each hdc—20 hdc.

Rnd 3: *Work 1 hdc in first hdc, work 2 hdc in next hdc*; repeat from * to *

around—30 hdc.

Rnd 12: *Work 1 hdc in each of first 10

hdc, work 2 hdc in next hdc*; repeat from *

to * around—120 hdc.

At this point the crocheted circle should

measure about 9 1 ⁄ 4 " (23.5 cm) in diameter

and about 28 1 ⁄ 2 " (72.5 cm) around.

Rnds 13 –16: Work 1 hdc in each hdc.

18" (45.5 cm)

next 19 hdc, turn work.

next 18 hdc, turn work.

Work as for row 9, working 1 stitch

fewer in each row until 12 stitches

remain. Work even in hdc on 12

stitches until narrow part of handle

measures 11" (28 cm), and about 17 1 ⁄ 2 "

(44.5 cm) from beginning of handle.

17" (43 cm)

26 1 ⁄ 2 " (67.5 cm)

next 10 hdc, turn work.

For second handle, right side of work facing, attach yarn at

shaping to match.

Begin Mesh Pattern

Rnd 1: *ch 3, skip 3 hdc, 1 sc in next hdc*; repeat from * to *

around.

Rnd 2: ch 5, work 1 sc in first ch-3 sp, *ch 5, work 1 sc in next

ch-3 sp*; repeat from * to * around.

Rnd 3: ch 5, work 1 sc in first ch-5 sp, *ch 5, work 1 sc in next

ch-5 sp*; repeat from * to * around.

Rnd 4 –19: repeat round 3 sixteen more times for a total of 19

rounds (counting from round 1).

Rnd 20: *ch 3, work 1 sc in next ch-5 sp*; repeat from * to *

around.

Rnd 21: *Work 3 hdc in first ch-3 sp, work 1 hdc in next sc*;

repeat from * to * around.

Rnd 22: Work 1 hdc in each hdc—120 hdc.

Rnd 23–27: repeat round 22.

Finishing

Weave in loose ends.

Rnd 1: Attach yarn at left-hand lower edge of either handle and

work 1 round in single crochet as follows: ch 1, work 1 sc in

same space, *work 1 sc in each of next 20 hdc, work 75 sc along

handle curve and edge, work 4 sc across top of handle, work 75

sc along side and curve of handle*; repeat from * to * one more

time, join with sl st to top of ch 1 at beginning of round.

Note: it’s okay to adjust the number of sc stitches made as you

work around the handles. the goal is to keep the handle sides

smooth and even and not puckered or ruffled, so add or subtract

sc stitches from the numbers given above, if needed.

Rnd 2: chain 1, work 1 single crochet in each single crochet, join

with slip stitch to top of chain 1, fasten off.

Handles (worked lat, back and forth)

count 60 stitches from beginning marker and place a second

safety pin to mark halfway point on bag. With right side facing

and beginning where yarn is still attached, work as follows:

Row 1: ch 2 (does not count as stitch), work 1 hdc in each of next

40 hdc, turn work.

Row 2: ch 2, work 1 hdc in each of next 35 hdc, turn work.

Row 3: ch 2, work 1 hdc in each of next 30 hdc, turn work.

Row 4: ch 2, work 1 hdc in each of next 27 hdc, turn work.

tie handles together at desired length.
