Crochet Adorable Handbag

If you're looking to add a touch of charm to your accessory collection, consider crocheting an adorable handbag! Not only is it a fun and creative way to personalize your style, but it also allows you to show off your craftsmanship and attention to detail. Whether you opt for a classic design or choose to experiment with different colors and stitches, the possibilities are endless when it comes to creating a handbag that suits your personality.
Materials:
- US - I, 5.5mm Hook (Furls Fiberarts Hook shown)
- 180 yds total Bernat Handicrafter (Worsted; 100% cotton)
- Stormy Skies, Sail White, and Orangesicle shown
Finished size: 11" wide and 7" tall underneath the handles.
NOTE: You can carry the yarn along the inside of the bag rather than cutting it after each row, if desired.
Row 1: With Color A, ch 33, hdc in the 2nd ch from the hook, hdc in each remaining ch to end; turn. (32 sts)
Row 2 - 4: Ch 1, hdc in each st across; turn. (32 sts)
Round 5: (See Bag Bottoms tutorial linked above) Ch 1, hdc in 32 sts across, hdc 4 along the side, hdc 32 across the foundation chain, hdc 4 up the last side; join with Color B with a sl st in first hdc of round, do not turn. (72 sts)
Round 6: Continuing with Color B, Ch 1, hdc in the 1st st, fpdc around last st of previous round, skip the next st, *hdc in the next st, fpdc around the skipped st (before the last hdc st), skip the next st; repeat from * to end, join with Color A with a sl st in first hdc of round. (72 sts)

Round 20: Ch 1, sc in each st around; join with a sl st in first sc of round. (72 sts)
HANDLES NOTE: (Individual tension may mean you need to adjust starting and end points as needed to make the handles centered and matched. The following worked for me, use the stitch counts as a guide for your own bag.)
