Have you ever made a crochet flap bag? In full disclosure, I have never. This is my first crochet flap bag design and I am really liking it, especially with the puff stitch.

I am one of those people who like bags but hardly buy them. I could admire them from afar or through window shopping but when it comes time to put money down, I just chicken out. Honestly, I do not know why.
However, when it comes to crocheting bags, I’m up for it. This crochet bag pattern is part of the Summer Quickies Crochet-Along hosted by Marie of UndergroundCrafter. You will find patterns from 10 superb designers that you can make this summer.
This crochet shoulder bag is the fourth pattern in the crochet-along. It is pretty easy to make, it uses three stitches, half double crochet mainly, puff stitch for the lower half of the front flap and single crochet for the edges and handle. The edging and handle are made in one piece.
This puff stitch bag pairs nicely with casual garments. For me, I will be using it a lot when I go out for walks. It is a comfortable way to hold a book and a phone. Or I could just give them to our boys since they like them already.
