How to Make the Crochet Savvy Handbag
Wait until you see how cute, fun, and easy this Crochet Savvy Handbag is to make! This crochet bag pattern uses super bulky weight yarn. It is also constructed in one piece using only single crochet stitches.
And the handles are crocheted in at the same time as the body of the bag is constructed. The thick yarn combined with the single crochet stitch creates a nice, dense fabric. Therefore, you really don’t need any inside lining; however, feel free to sew one in if desired.
Round purse handles for a crochet bag are sometimes hard to come by in local stores. Online sources like Amazon have a larger section. However there is a very simple option that you can substitute for traditional purse handles – two embroidery hoops.
Purchase two embroidery hoops, and take out the inner circle of both hoops (the part without the tightening screw). You will find that these two round inner hoops work fantastic as purse handles. Embroidery hoops even come in colors these days, so you can purchase a set that matches your savvy handbag yarn!
