🎀 This PDF pattern will help you crochet your own bow bag! There are two size options: the Big bow bag can be worn as a tote or messenger/shoulder bag, the Mini bow bag as a handbag or purse. They each have a bow that'll sit perfectly on your shoulder once finished. Choose your favourite one, or combine them and get a discount.

The Big bow bag pattern is best for advanced beginners. The following techniques are used in both patterns (US terminology): half double crochet, slip stitch (to attach panels), half double increase and decrease. For the Big bow bag, you'll be using a triple strand of yarn for most of the pattern. Both patterns include detailed instructions as well as progress pictures. You'll be able to the pattern(s) immediately after purchasing.
