Over 35 Free Patterns for Crochet Bags and Purses

Crochet bags and purses are so trendy right now!  The stores are full of them, but if you crochet, you can create a unique and beautiful bag or purse just for you.

Our page contains many crochet bag patterns to take a look at.  And don’t miss the crochet purse patterns that are also below!

The fun thing about the crochet bag and purse patterns is that the end product is nothing like the old crochet bags that grandma made.  Bless grandma’s heart, but her bags looked a bit old fashioned!

I would be happy to carry any one of the items from the crochet bag or purse patterns listed below and would feel very trendy and current.  Here’s an overview of the patterns that can be found on this page.

For a refresher on crochet stitches, take a look at our page just for that purpose.

Crochet Tote Bag Patterns

Although tote bag patterns weren’t discussed above, these are some of the best!  Everyone needs more tote bags, and the ones found here are truly awesome.

With the use of crochet as the means of creating these tote bags, most of them make perfect market totes.

The La Vie free crochet tote bag pattern from Christaco Design creates a tote bag that is ready for a day at the market, the beach or the park.  Such a summery tote!

The solid bottom of this tote and many others found on this page keeps things from falling out easily and gives the bag some sturdiness.  The La Vie Market Tote has plenty of room for all of the items you want to purchase or carry on a day in the sun. Every crochet market tote bag looks good with a beautiful mesh stitch!

Wizarding World fans will love the unique Luna’s Tote Bag pattern from My Poppet Makes.  The sample cross-body tote bag is crocheted in blue like Luna’s, but it could be made in any color you like!

Luna’s crochet tote bag pattern is not made with the open mesh stitch like most of the totes on this page, which may be preferred by some.

There are many more tote bag patterns that are not worked in an open weave and are sturdy enough for heavier things.  The Library Tote Book Bag is a perfect example of this.

The library tote bag pattern uses a sturdy single crochet stitch and has two wide handles, making it both strong and comfortable to carry.

Scroll down for scads of lovely crochet tote bag patterns!

Crochet Bag Patterns

Not all of the crochet bag patterns on this page are totes!  There are trendy drawstring bags that anyone, especially teens, would love. 

Found here are several everyday bags that are both roomy and stylish enough to carry for just about anything!  Check out the Everyday Bag pattern from Joann.  With its long handles and cute style, this intermediate pattern makes a great crochet bag.

Take a peek at the messenger bag and the many crochet backpack patterns, too!  There is a bag for everyone!

Crochet Purse Patterns

This page has a variety of crochet purse patterns to check out.  Some of them are shoulder bags, like Annie’s Crochet Shoulder Bag from Christaco Design.  The pretty x stitch, or crossed double crochet, makes for unique details.

The blue envelope purse is so pretty with its lovely embellishment.  Although its name implies the purse is blue, it can be made to match any outfit with other colored yarns.  The blue is very nice, but you-do-you!!

Check out the Crochet Make It Quick Purse!  It is very delicate, comfortable to wear, and has an easy pattern.  Even beginners would enjoy this crochet purse pattern.

There are darling sheep and owl purses that are perfect for the littles to carry and that would make great gifts. How about a sheep purse for Easter?

Don’t miss the specialty bags like the one for jewelry, the bag to organize cosmetics, and the very patriotic crochet purse pattern.

If you want to line your crochet bag, there is a great tutorial below for that too!

Time to scroll down and find yourself a wonderful crochet tote and bag pattern, as well as a crochet purse pattern.  If you like to knit, we have a special page for knit totes and purses as well.

Enjoy!
