Let’s dive into the materials and step-by-step instructions to create your very own unique piece!

Materials Needed

Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn (preferably in a rich, earthy terracotta color)
Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
Leather: One piece measuring 10x14 inches for the base and two strips measuring 1x24 inches for the straps
Tools: Hole punch, scissors, tapestry needle for weaving in ends, and a magnetic snap closure

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Base

Start with your leather piece. Using a hole punch, make holes 1/4 inch from the edge, spaced 1/2 inch apart all around the perimeter of the leather base. This will allow you to crochet around the leather securely.

2. Round 1: Attach Yarn

Take your yarn and attach it to one of the holes in the leather base. To do this, pull the yarn through the hole and make a slip knot. Now, begin crocheting:

Single crochet (sc) into each hole around the leather base.
Once you reach the starting point, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to complete Round 1.

3. Rounds 2-10: Continue Crocheting

For the next rounds, you will continue to crochet around the base:

Chain 1 (ch 1) at the beginning of each round.
Single crochet in each stitch around.
Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round.

4. Body of the Handbag: Rounds 11-30

Now we will create the body of the handbag:

For Round 11, chain 1.
In the same stitch, make a single crochet, then chain 1, and skip the next stitch.
Repeat this pattern (sc, ch 1, skip 1) around the entire round.
Join with a slip stitch to complete the round.
Continue this pattern for Rounds 12 through 30, joining each round with a slip stitch.

5. Top Edge: Rounds 31-32

To finish the top edge of your handbag:

For Round 31, chain 1 and single crochet in each stitch around.
Join with a slip stitch.
Repeat this for Round 32, then fasten off your yarn.

6. Create and Attach Straps

Now it’s time to add the straps:

Cut two leather strips, each measuring 1x24 inches.
Attach each strip securely to the sides of the handbag. You can use a strong adhesive or sew them in place for added durability.

7. Finishing Touches

To complete your handbag:

Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle.
Attach a magnetic snap closure inside the bag for easy access and security.
