I enjoy creating adorable little bags for my nieces. Who says cute, simple and a hint of texture can’t be a timeless crochet piece? Well that is what my Spring Morning Mini Bag is all about. Oh, and maybe a little girly. 😉 Do you have a little girl or granddaughter who needs a new pretty bag for Spring, Easter or weddings that she may be attending?

I enjoy using cotton yarn when making these mini bags. I find it to be sturdy, durable, easy to wash and they last for a long time.

  • Dc = double crochet
  • Sl St = slip stitch
  • BPsc = back post single crochet
  • BLO = back loop only

Pattern Notes

  • Weigh your yarn cake: ________ grams
  • Worked in the round
  • 100 yards. I used #4 100% cotton Lily Sugar’n Cream in Jute and Beach Glass
  • I also used a skinny sating ribbon, a flower button and a tiny craft glue dot to secure the bow in place.
  • You may have to adjust your hook size depending on your tension. Rule of thumb always check your gauge.
  • The bag measures 3 1/2” wide x 3 (4)” tall, depending on which one you make
  • Chain 1 at beginning of round does not count unless otherwise stated.
  • This bag is made in 2 different styles. Image is displaying each version. 

Special Stitches

  • Crab Stitch (Reverse Single Crochet): This stitch is distinctive; it looks ridged and makes a nice finishing option for crochet items. It looks great when worked as an edging using a contrasting or coordinating color.
  • This is worked from left to right (or opposite direction)
  • With Right Side of project facing you Ch 1, *insert hook into next st to right, yarn over and pull through, (2 loops on hook), yarn over and pull through both loops. * Continue working from * to * until you have reached the end of the project. Sl St into first ch 1 and fasten off. Weave in ends.
  • Hdc in 3rd Loop = With the front of the stitch facing you, look at the top of the stitch, and find the sideways “V”. Next, bend the stitch to look at the back, and you should see another “V”. You’ll be working into the back loop of that “V”, this is called the 3rd loop. When working across, like you are in the square the 3rd loop should be facing you.
