Description
Crochet 35 colourful and creative designs for shoppers, clutch bags, purses and more.
Featuring stunning yarns, the patterns introduce you to techniques including granny squares, 3D flowers, and tapestry crochet, which creates blocks of colour.
Use up yarn from your stash – many designs use only a small amount of each colour.
You’ll find patterns for totes and holdalls, including a Spring Shopper with neon-bright trim and a Kit Bag in green and khaki – ideal for camping and festivals, or just for when you’ve got a lot to carry.
There are bags and purses for carrying around your essentials, such as a Blue Block Bag made in tapestry crochet, a Foraging Basket, and a cute Strawberry Coin Purse.
To complete your collection, there are handy cases and covers such as a Zigzag Glasses Case, a Geometric Pencil Case, and an E-Reader Cover.
With a techniques section covering all the stitches as well as tapestry crochet, plus instructions on how to add linings, you’ll be able to make accessories that are both beautiful and useful. Crocheted Bags, Totes and Purses is a fantastic new edition of 35 Crocheted Bags.
