Here is a classic throwback design that will be great for those of us who love 60’s and 70’s styling cues. This deep bag with round hoops will be just about the greatest accessory to match a retro dress, perhaps to go with Nancy Sinatra’s boots. While not excessively difficult, this project does require some experience under your belt. But, given the end result and the color variant possibilities, it definitely is a worthwhile project to undertake.
What Yarn Is Used for Making this Crochet Purse?
The Deep Purse crochet pattern by Jessie Rayot features Cascade Yarns Superwash, a bulky-weight wool yarn. Crocheted in double crochets, it results in a solid fabric.
If you don’t like the suggested yarn, any bulky yarn can do. A good choice would be the use of cotton or cotton blends for stiffness or acrylic for light sturdiness and easy care.
Is This Pattern Suitable for a Beginner?
Though it may look complicated at first, this crochet shoulder bag pattern is a fantastic project for upper beginners. It involves just basic crochet stitches like single crochet, half double crochet, and double crochet. The bag is crocheted in a flat, which makes the whole process easier than crochet-in-the-round bag patterns.
How to Crochet Strong Bag Handles
The handles are extremely important for any crochet bag. In this pattern, they are strengthened with single crochet stitches to ensure a strong grip and structure. The designer explains this process step by step in the pattern so you can create a durable accessory.
In case you prefer longer handles, add more chain stitches and work several rows of single crochet before attaching it.
