Hello,
I would like to share a timeless classic with you: 5 square handbag.

Dimensions of individual squares: 24x24cm/approx 10inch x 10inch.
Bag/purse size: width approx. 47cm/19inch, height approx. 38cm/15inch, handle approx. 45cm/18inch.

Hello,
today I have prepared for you an instruction/diagram for a crocheted bubble shoulder bag.
My handbag measures: 30cm/12inch wide, 18cm/7.2inch high. Handle 50cm/20inch.
For this handbag, you can use any material that meets your requirements - even leftover yarn. You can also adjust the size of the purse and/or the length of the handle.
For my handbag I used about 150 grams of yarn suitable for G/4mm hook. 30cm/12inch zipper, some lining material and 60cm/24inch long chain for handle.
I started crocheting on 52 chain stitches + 4, sc into the second chain from the hook. You can make the bag bigger/smaller by adding/removing stitches multiplying by 4.
I crocheted around the chain with sc stitches and attached it to the purse so that it is overlapping
5cm/2inches on each side of the bag, but the handle can be as long as you will make it.
You can also find this bag, with my other projects at:

Note: Yarn I´m using is mostly from local sources. Please don't ask me what alternative yarn I can recommend you! It is impossible for me to know what kind of yarn you have available in your country. As we all know, it varies not only from country to country, but also from city to city. You can find an alternative yarn according to your own sources. Thank you.
Have a nice day.

I’m getting many requests for a written pattern for this market bag. I
didn’t have one, so I decided to make it. In the last fortnight I have
been crocheting this market bag, writing down the pattern for it, just
to make sure I have got the pattern right, I crocheted another market
bag based on my pattern. I didn’t realize how time consuming it is. I do
have a great admiration for those of you who are writing patterns on
regular bases.
The pictures are to help guide you through the crocheting, and supporting the written pattern for this market bag.
My bag is approx. 50cm (20’’) wide, 40 cm (16’’) high, the handle will be as long as you will make it, in this case 25cm (10’’) x2.
I used leftover yarn suitable for J/10/4/6mm hook.

I offten providing patterns for free, but on this one due to the time and effort spent on it, I have had to provide this one for symbolic price only, and you can find it here:
