Description
Free Easy Crochet Bag/Purse Pattern for Women
It's never been easier to crochet a backpack with granny squares! Working with Red Heart All in One Granny Square, you'll first make 14 motifs, then join them together using a crocheted flat seam. Once the squares are in place, it all comes together with some rounds around the top to create a drawstring closure, a top flap, straps, and a handy hanging back loop. Practice chain, double crochet, single crochet, half double crochet, and more. It's great for students or as an anytime sack to carry all your on-the-go essentials.

a month agoI actually had a bunch of granny squares lying around and made this with those. Mine didn't turn out as big because of that, but I loved it. I need some practice stitching the squares together, but that is no fault of the pattern.Yes, I recommend this product.

a year agoIt's great to see this pattern AGAIN! I made this exact bag from the original Simplicity 9695 pattern in 1971 and it was easy even back then, when you had to change colors to make Granny's, but so much easier now using the ALL IN ONE Yarns which I LOVE and makes it sooo much quicker and easier to make! Please keep bringing more Color combinations. THANK YOU!Yes, I recommend this product.

a year agoI used this pattern to make an all brown version for my aunties upcoming birthday. It came out so cute! I will definitely be using this patter again in the future! ❤️🥰Helpful?Quality of Product, 5.0 out of 5Value of Product, 5.0 out of 5canada1 out of 5 stars.Great pattern until the flap. Poorly Written.
a year agoThe pattern is good and clear until you get to crocheting the flap. That section is awful, there is no way to get down to 6 then 5 clusters based on the instructions. Disappointing.No, I do not recommend this product.
Helpful?Quality of Product, 1.0 out of 5Value of Product, 1.0 out of 5Response from Yarnspirations:a year agoConsumer CareWe are sorry to hear you you found the flap instructions difficult to follow on the Pack a Bunch Backpack. Below the instructions is a schematic to help you visualize how the decreases are made. In short, fewer clusters are created in subsequent rows by only working between existing clusters. Chains at the beginning of the row and a double crochet at the end create a smooth edge as you move from row to row. Also, care must be taken to make sure you are skipping the right number of stitches or clusters when working a row. Here's how it all works out in the instructions: 6th row: Ch 3. Skip next dc and 3-dc group. *3 dc in sp between next 3-dc group. Skip next 3-dc group. Rep from * to last 2 dc. Skip next dc. 1 dc in last dc. Turn. (6 groups of 3-dc) 7th row: Ch 3. *Skip next 3-dc group. 3 dc in sp between next 3-dc group. Rep from * to last 3 dc group and dc. Skip next 3-dc group. 1 dc in last dc. Turn. (5 groups of 3-dc) The skipping is the key! Thank you for sharing your experience. -

9 months agoHelpful?Q: Join Sides Fold piece in half lengthwise, with WS tog. Ch 1. Working along side edge, through both thicknesses to join, work 1 single crochet (sc) in each st to end of row. Fasten off Confused! Already joined sides w/flat stitch
a year ago1 AnswerA: If you have already joined the sides of the Red Heart Crochet Pack A Bunch Backpack using the flat seaming method and you like how it looks, keep it and move onto joining the straps. I can definitely see why you have joined the sides already from looking at the diagram. We apologize for the confusion and hope you enjoy the rest of your project.
a year agoHelpful?Q: I am making this backpack now also and have the same concern. The instructions for attaching the top straps are included and very specific in the pattern however there are no specific location instructions for the placement of the bottom straps. Thank you
a year ago2 AnswersA: From the design team: NOTE: Pin Straps into place at bottom edge on either side of 2 center Granny Squares, aligning ends of Straps with far last 6 sts of each Motif.See Diagram for Straps placement.
a year agoHelpful?Q: I am currently making this backpack. I am confused as to how the straps are attached especially the bottom. Please help!
a year ago1 AnswerA: For the Pack a Bunch Backpack, the straps are attached by sewing them into place. You can use the diagram on page 6 of the pattern as a guidance for placement. You may want to pin the straps into place first, and then use a yarn needle (large eye) and a whip stitch. As described in the pattern: Lay piece flat. Pin Straps into place at top edge on either side of 2 center Granny Squares, aligning ends of Straps with last 6 sts of each Motif. Using yarn needle, sew into place. I hope this can get you back on track. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any other questions.
