Granny Square Bag Crochet Pattern

The Granny Square Bag is a stylish bag with a vintage flair. #crochetbag #grannysquare #crochetlove #crochetaddict

This season we’re on the move, and we’re betting you are too. If you need a new on-the-go tote, we’ve got the perfect crochet project bag for you.

The Granny Square Bag is a stylish bag with a vintage flair.  This yarn bag is made with multiple granny squares, and a minimalist handle made from the single crochet stitch.  

It’s the perfect size for rushing around and getting things done. It looks trendy and professional with its rounded shape. And the pattern of the granny squares adds a little fun.  

The Granny Square Bag is made from a beautiful, soft worsted yarn. The Cascade 220 Yarn is perfect for this project because it’s durable and is a pleasure to work with. We decided to use an elegant white and silver gray which makes it easy to pair with anything!
