Add a Cord Purse Han­dle to Your Purse

This cro­chet for begin­ners was made with medi­um worsted yarn and a J hook. I would sug­gest an I hook. If you would like to make this cro­chet bag big­ger, add more rounds on the base or go up on a hook size or down on a hook size to make it small­er. 

This beau­ti­ful chevron bag is a great way to car­ry your yarn or items! This cro­chet bag with the J hook mea­sures 12 inch­es in width and 16 inch­es in length. The han­dle is 15 inch­es from the top of the bag to the top of the han­dle.

I rec­om­mend an I hook. I used a J hook. I found the stitch­es a lit­tle too big. H hook for the strap. Rnd 1: I used blue yarn first, the pink yarn lat­er in the pat­tern.

Rnd 9: (you need to use a stitch mark­er on all 4 sides in the cen­ter of the square, so about 13 stitch­es from each cor­ner then place a stitch mark­er, on all 4 sides, because you will need to cre­ate a gap on all 4 sides) sl st into the pre­vi­ous chain 2 space, Ch 3, dc in the pre­vi­ous chain 2, *dc in each of the next stitch­es until you reach the cen­ter, skip the stitch before the stitch mak­er, then skip the stitch with the stitch mark­er, and skip the next stitch after the stitch mak­er, which is 3 skipped stitch­es, dc in the next stitch, dc until you reach the chain 2 space, 2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc in the chain space, *Repeat around, end with 2 dc and ch 2 in the last chain space, sl st in the beg ch 3

*Repeat around the top of the bag, fin­ish­ing with a sl st. Straps: H hook, Make 2, chain 95, sc in the sec­ond chain from the hook, sc in each chain across. 

Fas­ten off. Sew the strap into the cen­ter sc of one of the peaks. Sew the strap’s oth­er side to the oth­er peak’s oth­er side on the same side, then flip over and do the same for the oth­er strap. *Repeat for the oth­er strap. Fas­ten off and Weave in your ends. End with a sl st into the sc of the peak with the han­dle. Fas­ten off and Weave in your ends.
