Small Formal Bag
I designed this FREE bag pattern after a year of weddings and not having anything suitable to keep my keys, purse, and phone in at such formal occasions (plus any sweets for the journey home!)
Not only does the bag look good, it’s also made from recycled materials (Eco Vita Recycled Cotton Tape Yarn), so you feel like you’re doing your bit for the planet too.
It’s super quick to make and suitable for crocheters looking for something practical and stylish, whilst sticking to basic stitches. A beginner would be able to tackle this pattern - there are helpful images for some of the trickier techniques, such as attaching a D-ring.
The pattern is also written out twice - once in UK terminology, once in US terminology. This means you don’t have to translate the sc/dc in your head as it’s already done for you and is clearly marked on the page.
