Heart Bag

"Meet your new favorite holiday make: a modern tote with rows of sweet hearts. This crochet heart bag pattern is free, beginner-friendly, and fast enough to finish before the Christmas rush. The bag is worked in the round from a sturdy base, then stitched up the sides in double crochet with simple, tidy color changes to create the heart motifs. Built-in handles make it practical for everyday use—carry small gifts, a wallet, or your current WIP with ease. Sized at approximately 11 inches (28 cm) wide by 11.5 inches (29 cm) long, this tote holds its shape nicely in worsted weight (#4) yarn. Acrylic yarn is soft and easy to care for; cotton is a great choice if you prefer a firmer feel. Choose classic holiday shades like red and white, go pastel and playful, or use scraps for a cheerful, mismatched set. You’ll need an I-9 (5.5 mm) hook or the size that meets your gauge, plus a yarn needle and scissors. Optional: add a simple fabric lining or magnetic snap for extra structure. The step-by-step instructions guide advanced beginners through smooth color changes: switch to the new shade on the final yarn-over of the previous double crochet. After the colorwork section, relaxing solid rounds make this a quick, satisfying project. It’s a practical gift, a fun craft-fair item, and a cute way to add handmade charm to holiday outfits. Ready to start? Scroll for the full instructions and make one for yourself, one to gift, and one to sell. This heart crochet bag pattern is a merry little project you’ll want to stitch again and ag"
