About this pattern

I love a project that sounds too easy to be true, and this bag really is just a rectangle. It's a quick, satisfying make that turns into something you'll actually carry around.

You crochet a rectangle, create a fold, sew two seams and add a handle. That's it. It's beginner friendly and uses worsted weight yarn, the pattern is written in both US and UK terms, and it includes a video tutorial so you can see every step.

Why you'll love it

  • It really is just a rectangle, fold and seam
  • Beginner friendly and quick to finish
  • Worsted weight yarn, in US and UK terms
  • Video tutorial walks you through every step

I’m a beginner and the pattern was overall easy to follow. I did have to practice a few times to get the hang of the strap. I’m happy with how it turned out and will likely make another in a different color.

This makes a beautiful purse! My gauge was off, so I ended up with a bigger version (completely my fault), but I love it!! Easy to follow pattern.
