Crochet Boho Bag Pattern {With Fringing!}

In this post, you will see a crochet boho bag pattern.

If you are planning on going on vacation or to any festivals this summer, then you need to wear this bag!

This simple pattern was inspired by a festival/beach bohemian fashion, which is so pretty and full of fringing.

This bag is not only great for festivals, but you can also take it on vacation with you to wear at the beach or sightseeing.

An Easy Level Crochet Pattern

This pattern is for anyone who is an advanced beginner.

This purse pattern uses basic techniques, including; how to chain and single crochet.

I made the bag using cotton yarn – The Tape Yarn from We Are Knitters in a bright minty color.

It’s so great to crochet with and I used my size 10 mm (US N/15) crochet hook, which made it really fast to make.

Making Up >

• Stitch the side seams of the bag – I used a simple mattress stitch, collecting a stitch on one side, then threading my needle into a stitch on the other side, continuing to do that for each side seam.
• The bag strap – Loop the rings through the bag clips, then feed one end of the bag strap through one ring.
• Stitch it into place and make sure you have the right side facing outwards.
• Do the same to the other end of the strap.
• Place the clips into open stitches on either side of the bag.
• Alternatively, you could attach a leather strap.
• The decoration – I added 3 thread tassels to the side of the bag for some color on a piece of leather.
• You can add whatever you want here, pom poms, keyrings, large tassels, etc. I found the tassels in a local craft shop.
