Our favourite crochet shoulder bag ideas your next summer stitch project

If you're looking for your next crochet project, why not make it a crochet shoulder bag? They're so much fun to make and the perfect project for intermediate crocheters.

Crafters across the world have been taking to social media to share their crochet shoulder bag projects – and the results have us seriously inspired to get stitching!

There are so many brilliant designs to choose from, from gorgeous granny squares to chic checks.

A crochet shoulder bag is a great project to work on if you've mastered the basics of how to crochet and would like to use your skills to create something for your handmade wardrobe.

We've rounded up our favourite crochet shoulder bags from crafters around the world to inspire you.

Happy stitching!

Flower power

This lovely crochet shoulder back from @elizihandcraft on Instagram is made using daisy granny squares. The white and green yarn used contrast perfectly – it's a great piece to add to your summer wardrobe!

Check mate

A checkerboard design can look seriously stylish, as demonstrated by this creation from @keniksecrochet on Instagram. The simple double crochet stitch means this bag is a great project for beginners, too.

Gorgeous granny squares

We can't resist a granny square project – and this granny square shoulder bag from @knittrolley on Instagram has us seriously inspired! The different colours used in a granny square are a great way to use up your yarn stash, too.

Perfect in pink

Sometimes keeping a crochet project simple with one yarn colour is the way to go, and this pink shoulder bag from @crochetbyemily on Instagram makes such a style statement. It's perfect to pop in your essentials and head out for the day.

Ravishing raffia

We love using raffia yarn in our crochet projects – they work especially well for summer bags, like this one from @sydesignstore on Instagram. The metallic grey raffia used makes this such an elegant accessory.
