We’ll guide you through every single detail: from selecting the perfect yarn and hooks to those final finishing stitches and the effortless strap. Together, let’s turn yarn and hook into something that genuinely delights!

Why we’re drawn to small hollow handbags

There’s an effortless coolness to a petite hollow handbag. It feels light and airy, yet it carries weight—literal and stylistic. We reach for it on quick errands, midday catch-ups, and lazy beach strolls. The airy stitches let the bag breathe, achieving a minimalist look that’s still genuinely useful.

What delights us most is its shape-shifting nature. Craving an earthy, rustic feel? Raffia or jute yarn whispers simplicity. Longing for a bold statement? Cotton in electric shades stops traffic. Whether you’re channeling breezy bohemian flair or refined modern minimalism, this bag morphs to suit your story.

Moreover, this project offers a perfect opportunity to refine our tension, gain confidence in basic chains and single-crochet stitches, and experiment with lace-like openings that add texture and lightness to the fabric. The compact form ensures that our efforts culminate in a finished object before the season changes, allowing us to wear our accomplishment several times while the memory of the crafting process is still fresh.

Equally compelling is the ethical choice embedded in each stitch: crafting our own handbag sidelines mass-produced options and embraces the deliberate, eco-conscious pace of slow fashion. Cultivating skills while caring for the planet? The equation is undeniable.

Crochet handle

Marking the handle placement

With the bag body laid flat, bring the front and back edges together and press the fold to identify the midpoint; secure that point with a stitch marker.

Measure out 8 stitches from the center marker to the right and attach a second stitch marker at the endpoint. Repeat the process from the center marker to the left, marking the endpoint with a third stitch marker.

Remove the marker that indicated the center.

You will now find that the two remaining stitch markers are separated by a distance of 14 stitches.

R1	sc until stitch marker, ch 40, insert hook at next stitch marker, continue sc to next marker, ch 40, continue sc around
R2	sc around entire round; at 4 corner points, work sc2tog (single crochet 2 together)

To strengthen the inner edge of the bag, work a circular round of slip stitches along the interior of the opening.

This step compresses the edge, refining the outline and lending a firmer, neater appearance. Position the hook into each exposed stitch and draw a slip stitch continuously around the perimeter.

Maintain a uniform tension—firm enough to stabilize, loose enough to preserve overall suppleness.

Upon returning to the initial stitch, execute an invisible slip stitch to conclude without a visible join. This understated finish fortifies the structure and enhances the interior’s visual and tactile refinement.
