My First Bag Crochet Pattern?

If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ve probably already heard that I’ve been working on what may be my first ever bag crochet pattern! A while back, I did a survey asking what other types of patterns you’d like to see from me and bags got a huge response! So here is what I’ve been working on:

It’s not completely finished. I want to line it with a fabric that will look pretty peeking through the holes. It’s a pretty small bag. About 7 inches wide and the strap is long enough to be worn across your body so that the bag hangs at your hip.

What do you think? Like it? Hate it? Would you make it? What would you change?

P.S. Today is the last day to enter the Triceratops planter giveaway. Don’t forget! :)

  2. I really love this pattern! I like bigger bags myself, so the smaller bag would be a bit of a challenge but the pattern is fantastic! A really nice fabric peeking through would be wonderful as a lining, I just wish I knew how to do bag linings with crochet bags! Thats my only downfall! :) GREAT JOB!

    1. Thank you! I’m a big bag person also. I actually made this one small on purpose in an effort to keep myself from carrying so many things with me all the time! hehe! I’ll include lining instructions with the pattern. It’s pretty easy :)

  5. I. LOVE. IT. Sooo much. I nearly gasped when I saw it. I would definitely buy that pattern.

    I love your blog! I’ve been stalking it for a while but this is my first comment. Hi!

    1. hehe! Hi! I’m often a blog stalker too! Nice to meet you! :)

      I’m so glad you like the bag! That makes me happy!

  6. That is super cute!!! Will you do a tutorial type thing while you lining it or pictures as you go? I’ve never lined anything with fabric and I’d really like to see how its done. Of course if I learned how to sew that would help lol

    1. Thank you! I’m not really sure. I still have to make a couple more to get the pattern perfected and then get it tested. I just started making a second one yesterday :)

  10. Hi Julie,

    Just found your blog and I love it! Do you have the bag pattern anywhere? I would buy it if you put in your pattern store. Want to support such an awesome person! Thanks for your time and talent!

  12. It’s a cute bag! I saw on your star bag that you feel like something is missing from this one… And I was thinking maybe the flap needs a little something? Maybe some smaller beads or a different edging to it?

    Anyways, I hope you find the inspiration you need to figure out what you feel is missing! It’s a very nice looking bag!

    1. Thanks! The flap is exactly what is bugging me! I like that it’s solid but I don’t like the look of the back side of stitches. I’m used to working in rounds where you only see the right side of stitches. So whenever I see the wrong side, it looks ugly to me.
