Make a Beautiful Crochet Hexagon Bag Pattern at Home

Create a stunning, unique handmade handbag using just seven simple crochet granny hexagons and basic joining techniques for a fun project.

Materials Needed

To make this stylish bag, you will need worsted weight or bulky yarn along with a corresponding crochet hook, such as a size G or 5.5 mm hook. You will also need a pair of scissors, stitch markers, a yarn needle, a blocking board, and a detachable leather strap or custom handmade i-cord handle.

Step-by-Step Construction Techniques

The bag is built using individual hexagon motifs, flat slip stitch joining, and clean finishing seams.

• Hexagon Motifs: Start each hexagon with a magic ring and work rounds of stacked single crochets, double crochets, special textured puff stitches, and corner-shaping double crochet groups.
• Blocking and Assembly: Block your seven completed hexagons flat to hold their sharp corners, then seam them together using a flat slip stitch method in the back loops only.
• Bag Shaping and Straps: Fold the outer hexagons inward around a central base piece, seam the remaining edges to form the 3D bag shape, and attach your handles and decorative tassels.

Helpful Tips and General Advice

Blocking your crochet hexagons before assembly is very important because it sets the shape and makes joining the edges together much easier.

Leaving the magic ring slightly loose during the first round can help you work your initial stitches more smoothly before pulling it tightly closed later.

Using an invisible join method when fastening off your rounds helps hide your starting and stopping points so your finished pieces look neat and professional.
