The Posh Handbag Crochet Pattern

Step 1: Create the Base

Chain 8, then chain 1 more to make the base about 11 cm wide.
Turn and crochet single crochet (SC) stitches across each row until your rectangle measures approx. 11 cm x 25 cm.

Row 1 (Edge Round):
SC evenly around the entire rectangle. At each corner, crochet 2 SC into the corner stitch to round it out.

Rows 2–18 (Body):
Continue crocheting in a spiral around the base until the bag reaches your desired height.

Step 2: Shape and Join Corners

Use scrap yarn to mark all four corners of the bag.
On the left side, join the two marked corner stitches with 2 SC—don’t pull too tight.
Repeat the same on the right side.
Crochet SC stitches along the edges between the corners.
Finish with one full round of SC around the entire top edge of the bag.

Step 3: Attach the Handles

Sew the handles securely to the top of the bag using a simple running stitch.
Wrap yarn around each handle using SC stitches, moving back and forth until fully covered.
Cut the yarn and weave in all ends to tidy up the inside of the bag.

Optional: Add a Lining

For a polished and professional finish, sew a fabric lining inside the bag by hand. This not only adds structure but also helps protect your items.
