Very cute – just wished I crocheted! I only knit 🙂
Regina C Gee says
Hi Jennifer, I was in the Walmart yesterday and purchased 2 skeins of Lion Brand Fettuccini Yarn on Clearance Sale! Iam going to use the yarn to make this cute handbag. Thanks for sharing the free pattern.
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
Woohoo! I love a good clearance sale! Good luck in your crocheting. I'd love to see your bag when it's done. If you send me a photo, I'll share it on my Facebook page. Thanks, Regina!
Maureen Chandler says

Adorable! Can you provide the finished measurements?

Sandra says
Darling Bag! Just what I was looking for. Thanks. What are the approx. dimensions of the bag you show here or what gauge did you come up with? I may need to go for a larger bag.
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
Finished size is 9" by 14".
Sandra says
Thanks. I'm off to get some materials

This is super cute! What are the dimesnsions?
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
It's about 9" x 14". It would be easy to make it bigger, but you would need a third skein of yarn because I used All of the two skeins.
Jody says
I've seen a lot of projects using t-shirt yarn and this one looks like a lot of fun. Where would one get the faux leather handles?
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
I bought mine at Joann. You can also order them online.
Yeetiu says
This is a gorgeous bag! I am wondering how useful it is as a bag though. Any ideas how much weight it carries? Do you find that this yarn is better for making bags in terms of holding weight than Thick N Quick? Thanks for sharing!
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
It seems really sturdy to me because the yarn is thick. The biggest point of weakness would be where the handles attach, but if you sew it well and use strong thread, it should be fine. I've been using mine as a day-to-day purse with no problems so far.
fdcrafty1 blogs says
Very cute! Too bad the yarn I bought didn't crochet up the same as your yarn. I had to revamp to create my own. Plus the only store in my town that handles craft supplies is Hobby Lobby and they do not 1) have tshirt yarn and 2) does not carry purse handles. Luckily I found some yarn online. I will have to create my own handles. :0)
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
That is one of the problems with t-shirt yarn… even the Lion Brand Fettuccine has such a broad range of fabric types they use to make the yarn that the finished products can be very, very different. Good luck with your project! I'd love to see a picture of it when you're done! 🙂
Lynda Steinbrecher says
Just adorable! Love tshirt yarn, so happy to have a new pattern to use it for
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
Thanks, Lynda! I'm so glad you like it!
Lynda Steinbrecher says
So cute! Thanks for sharing your pattern.
Kimber says
This is really cute and super easy. I love it. Now to find me some of this yarn to make my own. Can't wait. Thanks
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
Thanks Kimber! I've been enjoying the bag and am trying to come up with more t-shirt yarn projects because I love this one so much!
Trina says
Where did you find your yarn? Thanks
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
I bought it at WalMart!
Trina says
Thanks, I am going to go look for some tonight when I get off.
Sally Doig says
Thanks for this fabulous pattern. I made it up today. I am in Australia and used Lincraft spaghetti yarn. It worked well. I didn't have any handles so crocheted handles by SCing over chains. I am really happy with the result!
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
Yay Sally! I'm so happy to hear that the pattern was a success. Thanks for taking the time to share!
Viki says
I was just wondering if you (or anyone else) had an issue with the bottom of the bag twisting a bit? The T-Shirt yarn is pretty big, even using the 10mm hook.
I'm going to press forward with the next color and hope it rights itself.
Or is there another fix?
Jennifer {The Craft Patch} says
Hmmm… I didn't have a problem, so hopefully it will fix itself as you go. Good luck Viki!

Mine is twisting as well, and I'm tempted to go up a hook size because I'm finding this tough to work up.
jennifer@thecraftpatchblog.com says
Try going up a hook size! That's a great idea… everyone crochets a little bit differently, so hopefully that helps. Good luck and let me know if I can help you!
AmberD220 says
I was wondering how long the handles were you used. The jo Ann near me said they didn't sell any handles in store so I need to find mine online….
jennifer@thecraftpatchblog.com says
They are about 15 inches.
Meg Wheeler says
Lovely bag! I would like to print the pattern, as you suggested, but I can't figure out how. Can you help?
jennifer@thecraftpatchblog.com says
Hey Meg,
I usually just highlight the text of the pattern, right click and copy it into Word, then print. Does that work for you?
Sandy Morris says
Can't wait to do this

Love, love this bag.
Looking for the same color yarn as you used for this bag.
Nowhere to be found. So frustrating!
Mona.
jennifer@thecraftpatchblog.com says
Mona, that's the bummer about this kind of yarn. I remember it saying on the wrapper that every skein is unique… which means you can never replicate something. Hope you can find something you love. Good luck!
Mona Coach says
the display with the instructions that states ch 2 across the short edge, but the instructions at the bottom of the page states 2sc on short edge. Just wanted to know which one?

Elva Foster says
Can the t-shirt yarn be replaced with heavy thick yarn or t-shirts cut into strips?
Jennifer says
Yes, either of those would work.
Nancy P. says
I have seen this pattern used with plasic sacks (like Walmart ones) but I don’t the pattern for handles as they made those from the bags too.
Thanks for sharing this.
Jessica says
It’s too bad Lion Brand discontinued Fettuccini yarn
Jennifer says
It really is! I’m so sad. However, you can make your own t-shirt yarn. Google it for a tutorial.
Cindie says
I could not find T shirt yarn either. So I used double strands of 6 ply yarn. Worked up great! Made it in shades of denim. Love it!
Lucille says
Hi i would like tutorials on printed tshirt yarn projects As im a beginner crocheter
