Easy crochet pattern for a colourful crochet bag, digital Pdf written in English. This Happy Handbag stashbuster crochet pattern is made using basic crochet stitches, suitable for beginner crochet.

Transform your tiniest scrap yarns into this unique crocheted tote bag which is deep enough to hold all your daily essentials - and more.

The construction is very simple and can be easily adjusted to your desired size. This rainbow crochet bag is made from Light (DK) yarn, but you could also use up your worsted (aran) weights or bulky yarns.

This happy handbag crochet bag pattern is a quick make, and is guaranteed to bring a smile to everyone who sees it.

The simple base-up construction means you can easily alter the size of the bag.

The fabric lining is optional. I think a colourful lining adds a certain professional finished to any bag, and it also helps take the weight of your (yarn) shopping!

Materials:
• Approx 250g/820yds of Light weight yarn in assorted colours
• Size F/5 (3.5mm) crochet hook
• Pair of 20” (50cm) handbag handles with rings
• 20” x 20” (50cm x 50cm) Fabric for lining (optional)
• darning needle
• needle and thread to match lining fabric

The bag pattern starts at the base, which is worked back and forth in rows. Then you will work in joined rounds until the body of the bag reaches the desired length, changing colour every round.

The pattern is written in both USA and British UK crochet terms (two separate Pdfs) in clear, easy to read language. I’ve also included my crochet notes to the pattern so that you can adjust the size of this bag, and to ensure you can relax and crochet with confidence throughout. I’ve also included some photographs to guide you through how to add the fabric lining if you wish.

You’ll receive two pattern Pdfs (one in USA terms and one in UK terms) via email for instant download upon purchasing.
