I’ve been thinking of crocheting a bag for a while, since I saw a bag pattern on the free crochet patterns site. I wanted to make a small bag to hold essentials (purse, keys, phone, etc) that wouldn’t be too bulky for an evening outing. A red crochet Evening Purse with flowers on the flap. Well, the flap of the bag was an interesting challenge ;)... I used a small piece of gorgeous black satin for the lining. The strap I made is small with rows of single and double crochet stitches, crocheted tightly for strength. I’m really pleased with how well it turned out and yes, I made another similar one with slight changes... Perfect for gift-giving. Colourful flowers...my favourite! This long strappy bag is hands-free, ideal for kids and great for everyday use. I'd love to hear from you, if you'd like to get in touch!
