Free Pattern - Color Block Bag

Download the free PDF of the color block bag, a free crochet pattern by Amanda Saladin provided by Crochet World magazine.

Favorite this pattern on Ravelry!

Annie’s has graciously made this pattern free on their website! This was such a fun project to make and turned out so cute, I can imagine it looking great in a variety of colors. This pattern originally appeared in the February 2015 issue of Crochet World and has been a really popular project. I am really excited to see it as a free pattern so more people can enjoy it.

Design Story and Inspiration for the Color Block Bag

I love color blocking. It is something that I have used in design for a long time and I wanted to create a bag using the technique.

To showcase the color work, I chose a basic bag shape accented with a tab closure. The color work is easy and fun!

About the Yarn

This bag is made with Plymouth Yarns Galway Worsted, which is a wonderful wool worsted weight yarn. It gave great texture to this bag.

If you would like to substitute this yarn, find another worsted weight wool such as Lion Brand Wool-Ease and I’ve also known crocheters who have made it in acrylic yarn and loved it just as much.

Pattern Details

The texture of this bag is achieved by alternating single crochet in the front and back loops only. I love using this stitch as it is easy enough for an advanced beginner and gives an amazing texture to the fabric.

The color blocking is achieved by following a chart, then the lines are added with surface slip stitch. This is one of my favorite bag patterns I have designed and I hope you enjoy it!

I love working with Crochet World magazine and have had patterns appear in several of their issues. To grab your free copy of this pattern, check out the pdf at Annie’s here.
