Granny’s Crossbody Bag is a playful nod to vintage style, bringing all the retro charm of classic granny squares into a fun, everyday accessory. Lightweight and easy to wear, this bag adds a touch of handmade flair to any outfit while keeping your essentials close at hand.

With just two simple squares, a single crochet border, and a skinny strap, it’s quick and beginner-friendly to stitch up yet looks like a one-of-a-kind treasure. Add fringe, tassels, or charms, whatever you like, to make your own bag that’s as joyful to create as it is to carry.
