In this post, I want to share with you a fringe crossbody bag pattern.
This crochet fringe bag is easy for beginners and just what you need for your summer vacation.
The bag will go with any of your summer outfits and will compliment your laid back boho style.
An Easy Level Crochet Pattern
This pattern is for anyone who is an advanced beginner.
This pattern uses basic techniques, including; how to chain and single crochet.
I made the bag using Patons 100% cotton 4 ply yarn in the colour ‘limestone’ (1716) I bought 2 balls = 200g which was enough to make 2 bags and have a teeny ball left over.
I separated the yarn into 4 balls and worked with 4 strands of the yarn together so that I could use my size 10mm (US 15) crochet hook, which made the bag really fast to make.

Making up >
- Cut the trims to fit across the width of the front of the bag and stitch into place with really small stitches so you can’t see them.
- Then stitch the beads into place if you want to add those.
- Next, cut 4 strands of the yarn together that measure = 24′′.
- Pull through and secure into place along the under the edge of the trimmings on the front flap with the 5mm/US8 crochet hook.
- Cut and trim the edges, so they are all the same length.
- Following that, stitch the side seams together – catching the ‘V’ shapes to seam.
- Feed the bag strap edges through the silver rings and stitch into place – measuring 1.5′′ and then attach to the bag clips.
- Clip into place either side of the bag.
