Very Cute Bags

I liked most all the patterns in this book. My favorites are the ripple stitch drawsring purse and the updated old pattern for the black purse(nice shape for that purse). I would recommend this book, especially if you are into purses.

Want tons of compliments on your handbags?

I love this book! Lots of neat purses that are fun to make. I've encountered a few errors in the pattern instructions, but they're easy to figure out how to correct. The author uses expensive yarns, but you can easily substitute with Lion Brand or other good, less-expensive brands. Also, the crochet instructions at the front of the book are simple and easy to follow. I would definitely recommend this book.

Variety bag designs

Personally think that this one is one of the better books around on bag patterns . I like this one as it offers some variety besides the common crochet motif type of bag and the pouch. Great for teens. I hope they can come up with a second book on bags for crochet but with more creative designs.

Some really cute bags, excellent instructions, ideas for variations...

Companion volume to Crochet Scarves, this book provides "15 hip projects for carrying your stuff." The first third of the text is devoted to helpful tutorials on crocheting techniques and is followed by a cute "Small Change" purse in two styles, a bobble-stitched purse made from suede yarn, cute, ruffly embellishment flowers, and much more. Some of my favorite projects include the "Fine Feathered Friend," a crocheted purse made of worsted-weight heavy-twist nylon yarn and real peacock feather trim, "Granny's New Bag" (yes, there are granny squares, but they're cool), and the "TuTu Cute Bag," which truly is. I appreciate the author's excellent instructions, her insistence that we check our stitch gauge for each project, and her fun variations. A great book for teens!
