Boho Textured Bag – Stylish Shoulder Bag (Crochet Pattern)

Get the trendy boho look on your hook! With this detailed step-by-step pattern, you will crochet a beautiful, textured shoulder bag that will catch everyone's eye. The harmonious combination of distinct relief edges, textured puff-stitch rows, and soft color stripes makes this bag an absolute one-of-a-kind piece and a faithful companion for everyday life.

What makes this bag special is its thoughtful and seamless craftsmanship: the flap is crocheted directly up from the back panel and perfectly finished with a clean three-sided border. As a visual highlight, you can choose between two elegant options for a decorative boho tassel—either classically attached directly to the bag or flexibly with a lobster clasp to clip on.

The pattern is logically structured, guiding you row by row through the project, making it wonderful and error-free to follow.

Accessory Dimensions:

Please note: Since handmade items can vary slightly depending on individual crochet tension, the dimensions may deviate a little. It is therefore recommended to quickly measure the finished bag body yourself before cutting the inner lining.

Yarn: High-quality cotton yarn with a yardage of approx. 75–85 m per 50 g. Amount used for the original design: Beige (300 g), Rust Orange (100 g), and Olive Green (100 g). (Colors can, of course, be freely varied according to your own taste!)

Inner Lining: Canvas fabric to protect the back of the bobble stitches. For the single-piece T-shaped cut, a piece measuring 36.5 cm x 25.0 cm x 9.0 cm (including a 1.5 cm seam allowance) is required.

Optional Accessories (for your individual look):

D-rings with tabs: 2 pieces to sew onto the sides of the bag body.

Shoulder strap: 1 piece, e.g., a ready-made leather strap to clip on or, alternatively, a self-crocheted strap.

Bag closure: 1 piece, such as a tab with a button, a magnetic clasp, or a stylish buckle.

Lobster clasp (Optional for Tassel Option 2): 1 small lobster clasp with an integrated eyelet ring in gold (inner width approx. 2 cm), matching the D-rings.

Tools:

Crochet hook: Size 5.0 mm.

A tapestry needle for weaving in yarn ends and assembling the tassel.

A sharp pair of scissors for cutting straight and trimming the tassel.
