Crochet Bags Fall/Winter 2025 – 5 Designs for Everyday & Leisure

08/10/2025

Fall and winter are the perfect seasons to start a new crochet project – and what could be more practical than a bag? Whether for shopping, work, or a cozy coffee outing: handmade crochet bags are not only eye-catchers but also reliable everyday companions.

🪣 1. Bucket Bag – the Trendsetter

The bucket bag is absolutely in style for 2025. Crocheted with sturdy yarns like wool or cotton, it creates a casual yet modern design.

💡 Tip: Add leather straps or drawstrings to give it a refined look. 

🛍️ 2. Shopper – big & practical

For the farmer's market, university, or a day in the city – a crocheted shopper offers plenty of space. Worked in strong cotton or jute, it's durable and long-lasting.

💡 Tip: Add small inner pockets or buttons to keep things organized.

👛 3. Mini Bags – small but mighty

Perfect for essentials like phone, keys, or lipstick, mini bags are a real hit this season.

💡 Tip: Use shiny yarns or add decorative buttons to make them stand out. 

🎒 4. Backpack – casual & functional

For those who love a sporty look: crocheted backpacks are trending in 2025. Use firm cotton yarn with a reinforced base and wide straps for extra comfort.

💡 Tip: Neutral tones or bold color-blocking stripes look especially modern.

🎀 5. Clutch – elegant & chic

The little evening bag comes back in minimalist elegance. Crocheted with mercerized cotton or embellished with beads, it's perfect for dinners or parties.

💡 Tip: Use magnetic clasps for a stylish and practical closure.

👜 Felting – yes or no?

Felting is an interesting option for crochet bags. Felted bags are extremely durable with a dense, elegant surface. But keep in mind: they shrink significantly during the process.
👉 If you want to experiment, make your bag larger, wash it hot, and watch the magic happen. - maybe interesting:

✂️ Mini Pattern: Simple Crochet Shopper

  1. Base: Chain 25, work 1 row of dc (UK terms: double crochet; US terms: single crochet). In the last st, work 3 dc, then continue on the other side of the chain → forms an oval base.

  2. Body: Crochet in the round with dc until the desired height.

  3. Handles: Chain 40, attach to the bag, and crochet back in dc.

  4. Finish: Weave in ends; optionally line the bag with fabric.

Done – your everyday shopper is ready!
