Crochet Purses, Accessories and Toys

Crochet fabric is often dense and thick. And that makes it perfect for Purses and Toys. Crochet it tightly to keep things from falling out or to keep stuffing in.

Shoulder Bag

#PH618 from Oat Couture

Cute, Cute, Cute!! Crochet it elegantly with natural or white colors. Crochet it in black and embellish it with bling! Crochet it in mixed or multicolor yarns for the young and young at heart. Pair it with a pair of new PJs for a fun overnight bag for a granddaughter, niece or daughter!

Small bag is about 9" high, 12 " wide (excluding strap) and requires approx 295 yds worsted weight yarn. Large bag is about 13" high, 17" wide (excluding strap) and requires approx 535 yds worsted weight yarn.Both use Crochet Hook I & J. I suggest Cascade 220 for a pure wool bag. Want it washable? try Cascade 220 Superwash. Allergic to wool? Try 100% cotton Cotton Supreme. For more options check out my Yarn Standards page.
