This is a cute, all-purpose crossbody bag that can be used for just about any occasion and any season! As you can see, this free crochet pattern uses 12-inch squares to create an eye-catching tote that will make a great project bag or purse for your craft projects.
For this particular pattern, Kirsten Holloway, the designer of the pattern, wanted to create a bag using 12 inch squares, but she wasn’t exactly sure how she wanted the squares to look when she was designing the bag.
She decided she would like to end up with something that would have some fun texture and yet be functional at the same time. There is nothing more elegant than this pretty messenger-style “Written On My Heart” crossbody crochet bag which is a mash-up of shabby-chic and elegant. It is true that this pattern requires a bit of sewing on your part, however, the effort is well worth it.
Crochet patterns like this one combine pretty scallops with simple cluster stitches so that you can easily create a tote that looks elegant, feminine, and would be a perfect complement to any beach or mountain getaway.
