Handmade Granny Square Crochet Bags
I stitch these retro-inspired granny square bags by hand for your daily aesthetic. Choose your own color palette or go for a classic look, and I will crochet it just for you.
A closer look at this cream-colored granny square bag, which I decorated with three little flower appliqués in shades of blue. It's a simple, coquette-style piece that's perfect for a minimalist aesthetic.
Here’s a look at the process of making a beach-themed granny square bag. I combine shades of blue, white, and sand-colored yarn to create the squares and then carefully stitch them together to form the final bag.
This is how I make the individual black and white granny squares for my popular tote bag. Each square is crocheted one by one before being assembled, showing the detailed handiwork that goes into every piece.
About Granny Square Bags
Because I crochet every granny square by hand, no two bags are exactly the same. You can choose the specific color combo that matches your wardrobe, and I will add a durable lining if you plan on carrying heavier essentials like an iPad or notebook.
How Your Bag Comes Together
Every bag starts as a pile of yarn. I crochet each granny square individually before joining them with a consistent, tight stitch to ensure the bag stays durable.
Customization & Lining: While some styles are light and airy, I know you need functionality. For my larger totes, I include a fabric lining so your smaller items do not slip through the gaps. If you have a specific color palette in mind for the squares, just let me know. I can create a vibrant mix or a monochromatic theme to match your style.
Care Instructions: These bags are soft-structured, meaning they take the shape of the items you put inside. To keep them looking fresh, I always recommend a gentle hand wash. Avoid using them for heavy, sharp-edged items like water bottles, as the natural elasticity of the yarn works best for daily essentials like your phone, wallet, and keys.
Sizing:
- Shoulder Bags: Perfect for light daily use, usually 8 to 10 inches.
- Tote Bags: Larger capacity, often 13 to 14 inches, designed to carry your tech or daily work essentials securely.
