Handbags and Tote Bags to Crochet: A Collection of Classic Crochet Purse and Tote Bag Patterns from the Past

by Craftdrawer Craft Patterns, Craftdrawer Crafts (Editor)

Crochet one of these unique vintage handbags or tote bags from the past with these one-of-a-kind classic patterns. The six different crochet purses range from large in size to a small purse for everyday use. Create different looks and styles by changing the yarn colors and materials.

These classic crochet patterns are fun to make and can be lined with fabric if preferred. The timeless styles are patterns from the past that are perfect to use for everyday crochet!

These are vintage patterns so some of the instructions have been modified for current day use. As with any crochet pattern be sure to choose the yarn sturdy enough for the purse or tote to carry items in.

A purse can be made using cotton or worsted weight yarn. When carrying several items in a purse or tote it may be good to use two strands of yarn or a thicker yarn to make the item stronger to hold things.

Patterns include:

• Crocheted Bag with Fabric Lining
• Yellow Hat and Bag Pattern
• Crochet a Tote Bag Purse
• Crochet Large and Matching Small Handbag
• Classic Vintage Handbag
• Granny Square Tote Bag

Rather than "vintage" I'd say "dated"

This collection is only a few patterns and, unfortunately, I'd say you'd be better off looking up free patterns on yarn websites.
