This crochet bag pattern makes a cute, sturdy crossbody purse that’s just the right size for your everyday essentials — phone, wallet, keys, and a few snacks. The Macchiato Bag features an adjustable strap, a magnetic snap closure, and a textured granny spike stitch with a warm color-blocked stripe, so it looks polished and wears like an easy everyday messenger bag.

I used a medium weight mercerized cotton and highly recommend it for the lovely stitch definition and structure — it really helps the bag keep its shape. Regular cotton works too. I also recommend lining the bag to protect the inside and add a little extra sturdiness, and no worries if your sewing skills aren’t great. Hand sewing works just fine, and a short lining tutorial is included to walk you through it — no sewing machine required.
