How to Make a Mini Crochet Purse

This clever little purse is created from one continuous crocheted panel, making it a surprisingly simple project. The textured stitch pattern gives the finished handbag a lovely raised appearance.

Step 1: Crochet Around the First Metal Ring

Begin by attaching your cotton thread to one of the metal rings. Work 20 single crochet stitches around the ring, covering the metal and creating the foundation for your miniature handbag.

Step 2: Create the Textured Purse Body

Turn your work and begin crocheting the body of the purse.

Work a slip stitch at the beginning and end of each row, with single crochet stitches worked through the back loops between them.

Continue this pattern to create the attractive ribbed texture. There are no increases or decreases, making this a manageable project for anyone familiar with basic crochet stitches.

Step 3: Complete the Main Panel

Continue crocheting until you have 14 raised textured ridges, approximately 28 rows of crochet.

The finished panel will form both sides and the bottom of your little purse.

Step 4: Attach the Second Metal Ring

Position the second metal ring along the opposite end of the crocheted panel.

Work 20 single crochet stitches through both loops of the final row and around the metal ring to secure it firmly in place.

Step 5: Sew the Sides Together

Fold the crocheted panel in half, bringing the two metal handles together.

Using your sewing needle and matching thread, stitch the sides together, beginning around the third row below the handles. Leave enough space at the top for the purse opening.

Turn the handbag right side out and gently shape it.

Step 6: Decorate Your Mini Purse

Now comes the fun part!

Add a miniature rose, pretty bow, tiny beads, or another embellishment to personalize your little handbag.

The white purse shown in this tutorial features a lovely rose decoration that gives it an elegant, feminine appearance.

Finally, attach a keychain clasp to one of the metal handles, and your miniature crochet purse is ready to use!

Creative Ways to Use Your Mini Crochet Purses

These adorable little handbags are wonderfully versatile. Make several in different colors for party favors, attach one to your everyday handbag as a decorative charm, or create personalized keychains for friends and family.

For special occasions, you can tuck a few small wrapped candies inside and give them as memorable handmade favors. They also make sweet little gifts for anyone who loves miniature accessories.

Try crocheting them in soft pastels, elegant white, bright summer colors, or even festive holiday shades. Changing the embellishments gives each purse its own personality.
