Coo-coo! Can you hear that? Whether you’re a true avian enthusiast or simply love unusual designs, this crochet pigeon purse might steal your heart! Designed by Emma Manos, it’s a whimsical, handmade accessory for kids and adults alike. Featuring a comfy strap and a zippered pouch, it’s both practical to use and fun to wear!
What Yarn and Hook Does This Pattern Recommend?
For this crossbody bag crochet pattern, you want to use DK-weight yarn and a 4.5 mm hook. Any other supplies will change the final size of the bag. A great choice is an acrylic yarn, such as Schachenmayr Bravo Originals, but cottons would work well too. The designer also used Gründl Lisa Premium Uni in dark gray, teal, and white colors.
Does The Pattern Require Sewing Parts Together?
Yes, it does. The purse is made by first crocheting the flat body and wing panels. Once done, you need to sew them together and add the rest of the elements, like the beak and feet. To make your purse better shaped and more plump, be sure to stuff the beak and wings with filling.
Finally, you can finish the bag by adding a lining inside and a zipper at the opening. The last step requires attaching a ready-made strap to both ends of the bag.
What Size Is The Finished Pigeon Purse?
This animal-themed crochet bag is 17 ¾” (45 cm) long and 6” (15 cm) wide at its widest point when worked with recommended supplies. It will fit your essential items like phone, wallet, and keys while being compact and handy. To adjust its size, try using a different yarn weight or hook.
