crochet bag pattern - crochet purse pattern - crochet butterfly bag - butterfly shoulder bag

NOTE: This listing is for the PDF crochet pattern, not the physical bag. In other words, these are downloadable instructions for how to crochet the pictured bag yourself. The actual bag is not for sale.

The pattern is written using US crochet terminology, and is most recommended for intermediate crocheters. However, it is a detailed pattern inclusive of both tapestry charts, written instructions, and pictures to help guide you - so if you’re an advanced beginner, feel free to give this a try!

This pattern is written to accommodate complete beginners to tapestry crochet - it includes both tapestry charts and written instructions, so if you can’t read off the charts just yet it’s not an issue, just follow along with the written instructions. While it would be an advantage to have some experience in changing colours, don't worry too much if you haven't tried it before! The instructions include a detailed guide on how to do so, and if you still feel lost, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Please note that you are not permitted to share any part of the pattern for free or for sale. Feel free to sell physical recreations of this pattern (the bag itself), but please credit me / tag my instagram.

Dimensions (approximate): width 26cm, height 20cm, strap length 45cm

Materials:
- Two colours of yarn and a crochet hook - recommended weight 3 or 4 with a 4mm hook (or larger); I used standard milk cotton yarn which is a thick weight 3
- A pair of scissors
- Yarn needle
- Optional: stitch markers

Make sure to share your creations on Instagram and tag me @knittingdaisiess so I can see your work - I’ll be sure to share to my story or repost to my account (if you’d like, of course). If you have any questions at all whilst following the pattern, please reach out to me by messaging me on Etsy or Instagram and I’d love to help.

Finally, I’d like to credit my incredible pattern testers, without whom I absolutely could not have put this pattern out. Please go check out their Instagram pages!
