Looking for a quick summer crochet pattern, the crochet Summer Shoulder Bag is perfect for that.
During summer you often go outside & sometimes, if you’re like me, there’s so much to grab. Especially if you don’t have pockets on your summer garments, that’s the case for me most times.
So when I’m heading out, there’s so many trips in & out.
But I’ve found myself a solution, this mini summer bag pattern. I can grab my current crochet project & my phone easily, while also having my hands free to grab some cold water & a small snack.

Crochet Pattern Notes
- This crochet pattern is written in US terms.
- All measurements given are unblocked.
- Note that measurements are given as exact as possible. But crochet tension & technique might give variations in the result, that changes from person to person.
- Read pattern instructions carefully before beginning to make sure you understand everything. It might save you hours frogging your work & crocheting it again!
- Make a swatch that measures at least 10 x 10 cm / 4 x 4 inches using the stitch the gauge is given for. If your swatch matches the gauge, you’re good to go. If the gauge is wrong, you might need to change your hook. Go up in crochet hook size if your stitches are smaller & go down in crochet hook size if your stitches are bigger. Learn more about testing gauge.
