Granny Square Knitting Bag Crochet Pattern

by

This season we’re on the move, and we’re betting you are too. If you need a new on-the-go tote, we’ve got the perfect knitting project bag for you.

 

The Granny Square Bag is a stylish bag with a vintage flair. This yarn bag is made with multiple granny squares, and a minimalist handle made from the single crochet stitch.

It’s the perfect size for rushing around, and getting things done. It looks trendy and professional with its rounded shape. And the pattern of the granny squares adds a little fun.

The Granny Square Bag is made from a beautiful, soft worsted yarn. The Cascade 220 Yarn, from our site MakerDrop.com comes in a myriad of shades, but this yarn tote uses an elegant white and silver gray.

This crochet bag pattern looks beautiful with everything. It’s so easy to grab and go. And it’s really fun to make too!

Girls Crochet Handbags – A Sweet Little Crochet Bag Pattern With Vintage Charm

This is a cute, no-fuss crochet bag pattern that feels very handmade in the nicest possible way. The Girls Crochet Handbags project on CraftBits uses Lily Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn, a 5 mm hook, and simple single crochet rows to create an easy tote-style bag, finished with straps and little crochet flowers for extra detail.

What I like about this one is that it is simple enough to play around with. The pattern suggests changing colours to make stripes or edging, so it would be easy to match it to a child’s outfit or just use up those leftover cotton yarn bits we all keep pretending are “too useful to throw away.” The sample bag is worked to around 50 rows, so you can also tweak the size a little if needed.

It definitely has that older-style craft pattern feel, which can be charming, but it also means you may need to read through the instructions carefully before starting. Even one of the comments mentions the wording being a little confusing, so I would say this is best for crocheters who are comfortable filling in the occasional gap rather than absolute beginners wanting lots of hand-holding.
