Materials You’ll Need
- Cream-colored crochet yarn
- Green crochet yarn
- Crochet hook suitable for your yarn
- Yarn needle
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
- Bag lining fabric, optional
- Small metal or wooden clasp, optional
Step 1: Crochet the Bag Base
Start by making a foundation chain that matches the desired width of your bag.
Work crochet stitches back and forth or in rounds, depending on the shape you want.
Keep your stitches relatively tight so the finished bag has enough structure.
Step 2: Build the Bag Body
Continue crocheting rows until the body reaches your desired height.
For a structured handbag, use a firm stitch such as single crochet or a dense textured stitch.
Check the width regularly as you work.
Step 3: Shape the Top
Once the main body is complete, crochet the upper section.
Leave openings where the handles will eventually be attached.
You can also add a simple decorative border around the top edge.
Step 4: Create the Green Handle
Switch to the green yarn.
Crochet a long, thick cord or tubular handle.
For a more decorative look, work several tightly packed stitches around the handle so it has a rounded appearance.
Make sure both sides are equal in length.
Step 5: Add the Decorative Flower
Create a small crochet flower using cream yarn.
Add a contrasting yellow or green center to make the flower stand out.
Attach the flower securely to the side of the bag.
Step 6: Attach the Handle
Position the green handle evenly on both sides.
Sew it securely to the bag using the yarn needle.
Reinforce the attachment points because the handles will carry most of the bag’s weight.
Step 7: Finishing
Weave in all loose ends.
Check the seams and handle attachments.
If desired, add a fabric lining and a magnetic closure.
