Color Block Bag Crochet Pattern

Color Block Bag Crochet Pattern

Lately, I’ve found myself becoming more and more obsessed with color blocking. It looks so modern and is a great way for me to combine colors in my patterns.

Since I’ve been on the color block bandwagon, I was inspired to make this adorable Color Block Crochet Bag. I absolutely love making crochet accessories because they’re the perfect way to punch up any outfit, and what better way to combine my love of color and accessories than with this little bag?

This cute crochet tote is the perfect size for an everyday bag. It’s small and convenient to carry around, while still being roomy enough to fit all of your essentials. I’ve pretty much replaced my crossbody bag with this one as of late.

I chose a soft, summery yellow and paired with gray gradients for my color blocking. It reminds me of a bumblebee. I decided to use Cascade Ultra Pima yarn for this crochet project because it’s a wonderfully soft cotton yarn that is very easy to work with and is a really great price point.

This is a great crochet pattern to make with your kids or friends. It’s an easy pattern that uses single crochet and the Suzette stitch for simplicity mixed with a gorgeous pop of texture.

Crochet 2 icords for each of the handles. Each handle should be 18” long or whatever length you prefer. Secure icord to d-ring using a double knot. If you’re unfamiliar with how to make an icord, check out this helpful tutorial here.

Round Crochet Bag with Tassel Pattern

July 12, 2018| Crafts & DIY, Crochet

Round Crochet Bag with Tassel Pattern

Do you have a tote bag obsession? If so, you’re in the right place. I do too!

I wanted to design a crochet purse you could take along with you to lunch with your girlfriends, or to a night out on the town. It quickly became a favorite crochet design and I want to take it everywhere.

You’ll need to grab three skeins of yarn in your favorite color, and get crocheting. You can pick whatever color matches what you wear most. Classic black? A complimentary tone?

This easy crochet purse pattern is worked in the round. If you’ve never crocheted in the round before, well, it’s just as fun as it sounds. This is another beginner-friendly pattern that uses basic crochet stitches like single and double crochet.

I have designed this easy crochet bag using basic crochet stitches using US terminology of chains, single crochet, half double crochets, and double crochet stitches so it is not complicated but still has an overall effect of looking fabulous

Learn this new skill or continue to perfect an old crochet skill. In the end, you’ll have a practical yet gorgeous crochet purse to add to your collection.

Round Crochet Bag with Tassel Pattern

Difficulty: Beginner

MATERIALS:

Yarn: Blue Sky Worsted Weight Cotton- Bone (200 yds), Blue Sky Worsted Weight Cotton- True Red (15 yds)

Hook: 5.5mm hook and 4.5mm hook

Tools: Yarn needle, Scissors, 6-inch cardboard square

ABBREVIATIONS:

Sc: single crochet

Dc: double crochet

Sl st: slip stitch

St: stitch

PATTERN:

Using the 5.5mm hook, begin with a magic circle, and make 8 single crochet stitches

Row 1: Ch 1 and make a sc into the first st. Make 2 sc in each st around, sl st to join

Row 2: Ch 1 and make a sc into the first st. Make 1 sc into the next st, then 2 into the next.

Row 3: Ch 1 and make a sc into the first st. Make a sc into the next 2 st, then 2 into the next.

Rows 4- 20: Continue increasing the number of single crochets between increasing stitches. For example, row 4 will have 3 sc between the increasing stitch, row 5 will have 4, etc.

CROCHET PATTERN ASSEMBLY:

Placing the right sides of the work together, whip stitch the piece together leaving 45 stitches open on top. To make handles, sl st to join and make 15 sc, ch 30, sk 15, then make 15 more sc. Do not ch, turn work and sl st back over the 15 sc of the previous row. Make 45 dc in the ch 30 sp, then 15 more sl st down the other side. Break yarn, and repeat on the other side.

With the red yarn, ch 30 using the 4.5mm hook, leaving long tails on both ends.

Make tassel by wrapping the red yarn around the cardboard square about 40 times. Cutting just the working thread, leave the yarn wrapped around the cardboard and thread yarn needle with about 18 inches of red yarn. Slide the needle under the yarn on the cardboard, and tie a loose knot with the yarn threaded on the needle. Cut the bottom of the yarn on the cardboard, then tighten the knot at the top. Wrap the yarn on the needle securely around the tassel, about 1” down. Pull snugly, then secure with a knot. Pull up through top to use to attach to chain. Weave ends in, pulling any long tails down in to blend in with tassel.

We want to know all the places you took this adorable crochet purse for a spin. Did you go out to the beach or enjoy a nice brunch? Even if you just took it to the movies, we’re sure you have cool pictures for us to see – send them our way!
