What you’ll need:
For crocheting

Yarn: I personally used YARNART Jeans (55% cotton, 45% acrylic), but don’t worry—it’s not mandatory to use the same brand! Any fine yarn suitable for a 2.5-3 mm crochet hook will work perfectly. Feel free to pick a similar blend or even experiment with 100% cotton yarn for a unique touch. 🧶

Weight: 50 g (approx. 160 m per skein)



Crochet hook: 3 mm (but feel free to adjust based on your tension).

Finished size: Roughly 40 x 30 cm (yep, it’s roomy and perfect for your essentials!). 🛍️


For the lining

✂️ Scissors

🧵 Washable cotton fabric (slightly larger than the bag for easy assembly)

🔗 A zipper (make sure it’s longer than the width of your bag)

2 metal D-rings for the strap

A bag strap (choose one you love!)

Sewing thread to match your bag and zipper

📌 Pins or fabric clips (optional but super helpful)

Stitch markers (also optional, but they’ll make life easier)

📏 A measuring tape

🧼 An iron for that finishing touch

A sewing needle or machine (both work great!)


What makes this bag special? 🌟
This hobo bag is more than just an accessory—it’s a labor of love! Spacious, stylish, and durable, it’s perfect for everyday use or those moments when you need to make a statement. And the best part? You’ll have the satisfaction of saying, “I made this!” 🥰

So grab your yarn, your favorite hooks, and a cozy spot, and let’s get started! 🛋️ I’m always here to cheer you on, and I can’t wait to see the beautiful bags you create. Don’t forget to tag me if you share your project on Instagram—I’d love to feature your work! 💌

Happy crocheting!
