Crochet Pattern Mini Handbag Granny Stripes

With this crochet pattern for “Granny Stripes” mini bags, you can crochet small bags to use as keychains, bag charms, gift tags, or cases for wireless earbuds. The pattern includes two slightly different basic designs with many options for customizing the size, closure, and embellishments.

The little bags hold an emergency bill, a shopping cart token, or other small treasures. Twenty-four mini bags can be used to create an original, reusable Advent calendar. They are also perfect as party favors, secret Santa gifts, or little surprises.

Work with a 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm crochet hook. You can increase the height by working additional rounds. Design your bag with or without a button closure and add a slip knot chain with a bow if desired. Colorful yarn scraps make each little bag unique.

The pattern is suitable for beginners with the necessary basic skills and for advanced crocheters. Required stitches are chain stitches, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, front post double crochet, and slip stitches.

The PDF pattern includes 10 pages with numerous color illustrations and detailed step-by-step instructions.
