Miniature Granny Stripes Handbag

With this crochet pattern, you can create adorable mini handbags to use as keychains, bag charms, gift tags, or cases for earbuds and wireless earphones. The PDF pattern includes two slightly different designs and plenty of options for customizing the size, closure, and embellishments. These little bags are perfect for storing tiny treasures. Attach one to your keyring, use it as a bag charm, or turn it into a special gift tag. Crochet 24 of them to create an original, reusable Advent calendar that you can enjoy year after year. You can choose between two slightly different basic designs. Depending on the size you prefer, use a 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm crochet hook. The height can easily be adjusted by adding one or more rds, allowing you to use the bag as a small case for wireless earbuds, for example. Make your mini handbag with or without a button closure.
