Crochet Trinket Bag

Description

Stitch up a pocketful of joy with these darling little pouches that are perfect for keeping life’s tiny treasures safely tucked away. These quick and easy colorful bags start with a magic ring and work our way up using a lovely combination of simple single and double crochets. To give it that beautiful, distinct texture, I’ve included a wonderfully easy technique called back loop only (blo) single crochet. It adds the sweetest little ridges to your bag, and I promise you, it is just as simple as standard crochet but adds that perfect bit of handmade charm!

These precious little bags are just the right size to hold jewelry, loose change, headphones, or even a stash of colorful stitch markers. They make absolutely wonderful party favors, stocking stuffers, or unique gift wraps, just tuck a gift card or a piece of candy inside for a presentation they will truly cherish. Best of all, because color changes aren’t written into the steps, you have total creative freedom to mix, match, and use up all those leftover yarn scraps hiding in your bins!
