Bags & Totes Crochet Patterns

Seventeen bags, from a $2.49 water bottle sling to a full market tote. The thing that separates a crocheted bag that lasts from one that sags after a month is not the stitch, it is the fabric density - and every pattern here is written around that.

Three approaches show up across the category. The meadow cluster puff bags (pouch, clutch, crossbody, coin purse) get their structure from the stitch itself, which is thick enough to stand up without a lining. The Market Tote takes a different route: size 3 or 4 cotton held double on a K hook, so the doubled strand carries the weight instead of the stitch pattern. And the Pouch Bag and Mini Tote are built around a canvas zipper bag or liner that you crochet over, which means no sewing at all and a base that never stretches.

Yardage runs much higher here than in the small categories. A full tote is 400 to 600 yards of worsted; a coin purse is under 80. Check before you buy one skein and hope.

Sizing note: making a crossbody for someone else? Measure a strap they already like rather than following the written length.
