Crochet Granny Square Handbag/Purse - Blog Giveaway #1 Prize


This is the bag I gave away in my recent blog giveaway posted on Facebook. It's made up of solid granny squares. The squares were made using RedHeart brand yarn in the colors Baby Pink and Aran. 


The straps are braided together and sewn to the inside of the bag.


I lined the bag in pretty pink fabric. This was the first time I lined anything. I purchased some fabric squares from the store for this bag because I am not familiar with lining anything, nor am I familiar with how to cut fabric lol. I sewed it all by hand and I was very proud of myself and amazed with how it turned out! :)


I attached a small snap closure on the inside of the bag. The snap was probably the most difficult part for me to do. I originally was going to sew on a button, but decided a snap was a better idea. 



The bag was large enough to fit a bottle of water inside with plenty of room to spare! :)

This bag is to me one of the best things I have ever crocheted. It's definitely in my favorites. I am very proud of myself with this one, and I am definitely going to have to make a few more. If anyone is interested in having me make a similar bag for you, leave a comment on this post, or send me a message.
