If there is one thing I need to accent any wardrobe, it is a handbag! I have a love for bags. I designed the Walk This Way Handbag because I needed another fun bag to dress up a summer outfit and love to start new crochet projects.
This advanced beginner pattern works up quick, in the round, and uses the griddle stitch. If you are familiar with chains, single crochet and double crochet, this bag will be fun to make!
If you would like to learn any of the stitches used in this pattern, I have a detailed photo tutorial of each stitch on the Learn Basic Crochet Stitches Page.
Let’s keep in touch!
