Free Crochet Pattern – Little Button Bag

If you are like most women, you can’t get enough of fun bags and purses. And, if you’re like me, you can’t really afford to buy all the fancy bags you want. But being crafty has it’s benefits…we can make our own bags! This “Little Button Bag” is a fun, quick to work up wristlet style purse – just right for keeping your smaller items organized in the depths of your big bag or purse. It’s the perfect size for your “monthly” female necessities, complete with a strap to fit around your wrist for discreet carrying to the restroom.

A basket weave patterning along the middle of the bag adds a nice detail and give it a bit of texture. Pick your favorite button and colors to match and you’ll have a special little purse in no time. To add this pattern to your Ravelry queue click here: Little Button Bag – Free Crochet Pattern
