Crochet Mini-Bags, PDF pattern

About the Design

These bags are the perfect size for a cell phone or car keys, credit card and lipstick! The magnetic snaps keep the top opening secure.

The bags are easy to crochet and come in 3 styles – a basic bag with shoulder strap, a bag with a buckled adjustable long strap, and a bag with buttoned adjustable long strap and a shaped bag bottom.

Each bag uses only 2 balls of Heirloom Breeze, a cotton/wool/lycra blend stretch yarn that’s comfortable to work with.
