26 Crochet Bag Ideas Inspiration
Crochet bags can be simple, bold, or playful—there’s something for every taste. From textured designs to soft floral patterns, each idea brings a fresh touch.
Bubble
I used 250 grams of medium-weight cotton yarn and a 5.5mm hook for this bubble bag. It worked up in one piece, with only a tiny seam to stitch at the end.
The textured bubbles gave it such a fun look! The gauge needed was 4.5 rows of 6.25 bobbles in a square size of 10 x 10 cm—perfect math for even beginners.
The bag ended up being slouchy yet roomy, measuring about 33 cm wide and 49 cm long once finished. I followed US crochet terms and loved the easy-to-follow YouTube tutorial available online (it even had timestamps).
Basic stitches like magic rings, chains, single crochets, increases, decreases, and turning made crafting smooth—even relaxing!
Apple
I love the charm of the crochet apple bag. Its bright red design adds a playful touch to any casual look. The pattern costs just 200 JPY and comes as a PDF tutorial for quick access.
It even features on Pixzel Presents' YouTube channel.
The instructions are clear and guide you step-by-step. It's perfect for beginners or anyone who enjoys quirky, fun projects. Made to last, this bag thrives with a cool hand wash and air-drying flat in the shade.
It’s a sweet and practical accessory for a touch of whimsy.
For Men
This crochet bag has strong stitches that make it durable. The neutral tones give it a masculine and stylish look.
I gave this as a gift to Alfred during a reunion with friends, and he loved how it matched his outfits.
He paired the bag with a silver necklace, white shirt, black jeans, and thrifted boots. Its vibrant design works perfectly for casual looks. A video tutorial on how to make this unique piece is available online.
It’s part of an effort to offer more crochet options for men while promoting inclusion in fashion.
Belt
I love how the crochet belt bag blends style and function. Made with Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton yarn, it feels sturdy yet soft.
The adjustable strap measures 32 to 48 inches long, while the bag itself is a convenient size at 6 inches high and 9 inches wide.
It includes a zipper closure, so no lining is needed.
The pattern by Kathy Olivarez has clear steps and great reviews on Etsy. She has over 68,000 sales with an average rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars!
It’s perfect for carrying essentials during weekend outings or modern adventures like hiking or markets.
Bottle
Keeping essentials close with the belt bag feels empowering, but a crochet bottle bag takes it to another level. This lightweight design lets me carry hydration in style.
It’s both practical and eco-friendly, perfect for long walks or crafting days.
The patterns use basic stitches like single crochet and double crochet, making them simple yet creative. I’ve seen one with a pocket big enough for a phone and an adjustable strap!
The reusable fabric helps reduce waste too. Bright colors and textured themes make each holder unique, matching fun outfits while staying functional.
Camera
This crochet camera bag is both fun and useful. I love that it’s crafted with a 5mm hook. The design uses minimal sewing, which saves time.
It measures 12 inches wide and 10 inches tall, just the right size to carry your camera or small items.
I enjoy adding my own colors to personalize it even more. Caron One Pound Yarn works great for this project. The lens cover starts with a magic ring or chain 2, making it easy to shape.
