Free Crochet Pattern – Granny Square Cross Body Bag
If you’re looking for a fun, practical crochet project, the Red Heart Crochet Granny Cross-Body Bag is a perfect choice. I’ve actually made two of these as gifts, and they turned out wonderfully! The design combines the classic granny square with a functional cross-body bag, making it both stylish and easy to wear.
The pattern uses Red Heart Super Saver yarn, which is durable, soft, and comes in a wide range of colors. I chose vibrant shades that really pop, but the color combinations are endless. The yarn holds the bag’s shape without feeling stiff, making it perfect for this project.
The pattern is beginner-friendly, especially if you’re familiar with granny squares. You start by crocheting the squares, which are then joined together to form the front and back panels. The bag’s size is customizable, and the adjustable strap ensures you can make it as long or short as you like. The instructions are clear, and the process is enjoyable, especially as you watch your bag come to life. It’s the perfect mix of style, functionality, and ease.
