A crochet belt bag can be a small accent, a bright patchwork statement, or a neatly finished everyday accessory. These eighteen patterns explore different ways to achieve that shape, including bags that thread onto a separate belt, adjustable fanny packs, tied straps, and designs that can also be worn across the body. Closures vary just as widely, from a simple buttoned flap to a lined bag with two zippers.
Each idea links to the original designer or publisher’s complete project page or paid pattern listing. Our original styling illustrations explore colors and presentation; they are not photographs of bags made or tested by Speshview. Compare the designer’s own photos, diagrams, and instructions for exact construction and fit. Dimensions describe the stated pattern sample, and a waist measurement is different from a crossbody strap measurement. Check the access notes before choosing a project, and plan for any lining, zipper, belt, or buckle as well as the yarn.
1.) A Mustard Mini Bag on a Leather Belt
A small golden pouch can add a cheerful accent without taking over an outfit. This Red Heart design has a flap, one button, and loops on the back that let an ordinary belt do the work of a strap. That distinction makes it a useful choice if you already have a belt whose fit you like. Our illustration pairs mustard crochet with tan leather and interprets the button and flap proportions; the publisher’s photo and assembly diagram establish the exact shape. Measure the width of your chosen belt against the loops before finishing them. Keep the front simple so the compact silhouette and closely worked fabric remain the main features.
Pattern: Crochet Utility Belt Bag — Red Heart / Yarnspirations.
Access and fit: Free complete PDF; no account required. Approximately 6 by 4 inches. The pattern makes belt loops; supply a separate belt.
2.) Colorful Circle Motifs With Cream Borders
Circular centers framed by square borders give this bag a lively patchwork appearance. The Red Heart pattern joins four motifs into a shaped bag and adds a matching crocheted strap, so the color story continues beyond the body. Rust, ochre, olive, and cream offer an earthy alternative to the bright publisher sample. The illustration reimagines those colors and the proportions of the visible motifs; follow the original diagram for their arrangement and folding. Make the motif gauge your first checkpoint, because a slightly larger square changes the whole bag. Plan the zipper color alongside the borders so that its tape looks considered when the opening is viewed from above.
Pattern: Crochet Granny Fanny Bag — Red Heart / Yarnspirations.
Access and fit: Free complete PDF; no account required. Approximately 14 inches wide by 6 inches deep, excluding the strap. Includes a 12-inch zipper.
3.) Coral Bobbles With a Striped Strap
Raised clusters give this slim belt bag an appealing contrast between textured fabric and a smooth woven strap. Christine Botelho’s design combines decorative squares with a shaped construction, rather than simply adding a belt to a finished rectangular pouch. Dusty coral makes the texture easy to see, while cream and tan stripes keep the strap from competing with it. Our image changes the color balance and interprets the cluster spacing; use the original photos for the square layout and assembly. The designer includes strap choices and an optional lining, giving you several finishing decisions to consider. Gather the zipper, rings, and preferred strap before beginning so the final fittings suit one another.
Pattern: Not Your Granny’s Fanny Pack — Christine Botelho of Rows.of.Crochet, published by Cosy Rosie Crochet.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern; no account required. Optional paid printable PDF. Finished bag approximately 13 inches across by 5 inches wide; the 8-inch square measurement belongs to a component, not the finished bag.
4.) An Oatmeal Tape-Yarn Flap Bag
Flat tape yarn gives Ulla a softly structured surface that suits an understated wardrobe. Lakeside Loops uses a rounded body, fold-over flap, and a separately crocheted strap, creating a project that can be finished without buying buckles or a zipper. Oatmeal is a gentle color choice beside white cotton or faded denim. The illustration interprets the flap outline and stitch texture, so compare the designer’s close photographs when assessing the actual construction. Choose the strap from the supplied fit guidance rather than assuming the body width determines its length. Read the finishing note about securing part of the opening, which affects how the flap sits and how comfortably the bag carries small belongings.
Pattern: Ulla Belt Bag — Lakeside Loops.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern and tutorial; no account required. Optional paid PDF. Body approximately 12 inches wide by 7 inches deep; eight strap lengths from Small to 5XL, with stated chest-fit guidance.
5.) A Rainbow Arc With an Adjustable Strap
Concentric rainbow bands make this bag feel celebratory before you add any other accessories. Angela Ader’s Roxy design develops the curved color pattern through clustered stitches, then uses a zipper and adjustable strap for the finish. Red, orange, yellow, green, and blue make a clear illustrated sequence, although the original sample’s yarn produces its own transitions. The image interprets the cluster scale and opening; use the designer’s photos to understand where the zipper sits within the curved body. Include the slide, ring, and clasp in your materials check. The strap has a reinforcement detail in the pattern, which deserves attention when choosing a yarn with noticeable stretch under everyday use.
Pattern: Roxy Rainbow Bum Bag — Angela Ader of Littlejohn’s Yarn.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern; no account required. Optional paid large-print PDF. Approximately 12 inches long by 6 inches tall, with a 35-inch adjustable strap and an 8-inch zipper.
6.) A Blue-Gray Half Circle With Braided Ties
Two half-circle panels create a clean outline that works beautifully in one quiet color. Megan Meyer’s design uses herringbone half double crochet with yarn held double, giving the fabric more visual substance than a loose single strand would suggest. Blue-gray makes an appealing illustrated choice with charcoal trousers or a simple striped dress. Our image interprets the herringbone texture and tie length; the original close-ups show the exact zipper placement and panel assembly. The braided fastening is a useful distinction from a buckle strap, but it still needs to be sized for the intended wearer. Check the finished opening against the items you plan to carry before sewing the zipper into place.
Pattern: Crochet Fanny Pack — Megan Meyer of Left in Knots.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern; no account required. Approximately 10 inches wide by 5½ inches tall. The pattern lists a 24-inch strap length and explains customizing the braided ties. Uses a 7-inch zipper.
7.) A Forest Green Boxy Belt Bag
A defined side panel gives this compact bag a useful amount of depth while keeping its front visually simple. CAAB Crochet’s pattern is built from separate pieces, including an inside pocket, and finishes with a crocheted strap and buckle. Forest green makes the dense fabric look crisp beside black fittings. Our illustration shows the exterior only and interprets the proportions of the gusset and strap; consult the designer’s construction photos for the internal pocket and joining details. Measure for the way you intend to wear the bag, since a waist fit and a shoulder fit require different strap lengths. Make room for the zipper and buckle in your project budget before selecting yarn.
Pattern: Crossbody Bag / Belt Bag — CAAB Crochet / Cute As A Button Crochet & Craft.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern; no account required. Optional paid printable PDF. Approximately 8½ inches wide by 5½ inches tall by 1½ inches deep; includes strap measurement guidance, an 8-inch zipper and adjustable buckle.
8.) A Golden Cord Bag With a Front Pocket
Braided cord and a squared profile give Bolsa a substantial, almost tailored appearance. Molla Mills combines a zippered main body with a front pocket and a separate leather belt, making the choice of fittings as visible as the crochet itself. Golden sand with cognac leather is one possible styling direction. The illustration interprets the pocket size and cord placement; follow Lankava’s original photo and finishing sequence for their exact relationship. This project has multiple flat components, so label them while you work and keep the right sides clear. Check the specified cord gauge carefully before substituting a softer yarn, which could change the depth and firmness of the finished bag.
Pattern: Bolsa Belt Bag — Molla Mills for Lankava.
Access and fit: Free complete English PDF; no account required. Approximately 25 by 15 by 7 cm. Requires a 30 cm zipper, an 80–90 cm leather belt, cord, cord lock and cord stops.
9.) A Dusty Blue Bag With Two Zippers
Two zippered openings give Poppy a familiar sporty outline in a distinctly handmade fabric. Tinderbox’s design includes a smaller front opening as well as the main opening, with an adjustable strap and slide buckle completing the shape. Dusty blue and dark navy zippers create a restrained illustrated palette that suits casual jackets. Our image interprets the body width and the spacing between the zippers; the designer’s own photographs show the intended proportions. This is a useful project to consider if you want experience combining crochet with sewn fittings. Read the zipper instructions before finishing the fabric edges, and select both zippers together so their colors and teeth look consistent across the front.
Pattern: Poppy Fanny Pack — Tinderbox Crochet.
Access and fit: Paid digital PDF in US terms; purchase required. The designer also advertises a free video tutorial. Includes two zippered openings and guidance using a strap approximately 40 inches long; check the listing’s materials for the intended scale.
10.) Forget-Me-Not Squares in Blue and Olive
Blue flowers against olive and cream give this bag a delicate botanical theme. Alyssia Creates combines forget-me-not motifs with square borders and carries the same colors into the strap, making the finish feel coordinated from end to end. Pale blue petals look especially clear when the surrounding shades stay quiet. Our illustration interprets the flower proportions and visible motif arrangement; use the designer’s photos for the exact layout. The listing includes lining and zipper guidance, so allow time for sewing as well as crochet. Check both the stated strap length and your preferred wearing position before choosing this pattern, since the finished bag is noticeably wider than some compact options in this collection.
Pattern: Forget Me Not Bum Bag — Alyssia Stacey-Orchard of Alyssia Creates, published by Lion Brand Yarn.
Access and fit: Paid digital pattern; purchase required. US crochet terms. Bag approximately 15 inches long by 8 inches wide; strap approximately 27 inches long by 2¼ inches wide. Includes fabric lining and zipper instructions.
11.) A Bronze Tunisian Bag With a Tassel
A metallic-looking yarn gives this small bag a dressier character than ordinary cotton. Noor’s Knits uses Tunisian simple stitch for the body and a shaped flap, then adds a button and tassel for the finish. Bronze with a black strap makes an illustrated combination that works well beside an olive jacket or dark evening layers. The image interprets the flap point and tassel placement; follow the original photo for the intended arrangement. Read the Tunisian forward-pass and return-pass notes before starting, especially if your previous projects use conventional crochet. The yarn’s width and surface are part of this design’s effect, so compare gauge rather than substituting solely by a printed weight category.
Pattern: Fancy Fanny Pack — Noor’s Knits.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern and tutorial; no account required. Optional paid PDF. Approximately 9 by 5 inches. Uses Tunisian crochet, faux-leather yarn, a button and a purchased adjustable strap.
12.) Warm Stripes With a Rounded Flap
Narrow stripes follow the rounded flap of Sunny Stripes, producing a cheerful pattern with very little extra decoration. Amy Gunderson’s design uses one folded body section and broad straps worked outward from its sides. Coral, plum, and ochre give the illustration a warm palette that feels different from a full rainbow. The image groups the colors into wider bands and interprets the flap curve; the original PDF and photographs show how the fabric folds into the bag. A magnetic fastening keeps the outside free of a large button, so plan its placement while checking the flap alignment. Lay out the two ties before finishing to assess their combined length and how the knot will sit when worn.
Pattern: Sunny Stripes Bum Bag — Amy Gunderson for Premier Yarns.
Access and fit: Free complete PDF; no account required. Body approximately 12½ inches wide by 6 inches high, excluding straps. Includes long crocheted tie straps and a sew-on magnetic closure.
13.) Green-and-Cream T-Shirt Yarn Stripes
Wide stripes make this compact bag easy to coordinate with a casual outfit. Ellie Price’s design uses cotton T-shirt yarn, a zippered opening, and guides for a separate woven waist strap. Emerald, spring green, and cream give the illustrated version a fresh color rhythm without adding appliqués. The image changes the stripe distribution and interprets the bag’s depth; use the publisher’s photos for the intended silhouette. Because T-shirt yarn can vary considerably in thickness, make the supplied gauge comparison before committing to the whole bag. Choose the strap and zipper after checking their widths together, and keep the side guides neat so the woven belt sits flat rather than twisting against the crochet.
Pattern: Colorblock Cotton Fanny Pack — Ellie Price, published by Darn Good Yarn.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern; no account required. Approximately 9 by 6 inches laid flat. Uses cotton T-shirt yarn, a 7-inch zipper and a separate 2-inch-wide woven strap with buckle.
14.) Terracotta Daisy Squares With a Folded Closure
White daisies bring a gentle floral contrast to a terracotta background. Janne Kleivset’s pattern joins granny squares into a folded body and uses buttons to adjust the crocheted strap, offering a different finish from the zippered floral bag earlier in the list. Keep the centers golden and the surrounding rows quiet so the petal shapes remain readable. Our illustration interprets the motif scale and folding; the designer’s photos show the actual opening and closure. Read the strap measurements carefully because the stated length applies to each side. Make the square gauge before assembly, then check the folded shape before attaching the buttons, rather than judging the fit from the flat pieces alone.
Pattern: Daisy Granny Square Bum Bag — Janne Kleivset of Joy of Motion Crochet.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern; no account required. Optional paid PDF and optional membership access. Top width approximately 36 cm; stated straps approximately 68 cm on each side, with adjustment guidance. US terms.
15.) Bold Solid Squares With a Dark Strap
Solid granny squares create broad areas of color rather than a field of little openings. Nicole Riley’s design arranges four squares into a long, shallow bag, then adds rings for a detachable strap. Magenta, berry, and red make an energetic illustrated palette, balanced by a dark strap and zipper. The image interprets the color placement and the angles where the squares meet; follow the original assembly photographs for the intended fold. The designer describes a felt lining with a zipper and offers sewing as an attachment option. Decide on that finish before joining everything permanently, since the lining changes how the opening feels and how neatly small items sit inside.
Pattern: Granny Square Bum Bag / Fanny Pack — Nicole Riley of Nicki’s Homemade Crafts.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern and tutorials; no account required. Optional paid PDF. Approximately 16 inches wide by 5 inches tall. Includes an optional felt lining and zipper; purchased adjustable strap or crocheted strap options.
16.) A Puffy Patchwork Belt Bag
Soft padded-looking squares give this belt bag a playful quilted appearance. HELLOhappy’s design is fully lined and zippered, with a slide buckle allowing the strap to be adjusted. A palette of lavender, mint, pale blue, and blush creates a gentle illustrated patchwork that still has clear boundaries between the pieces. The image interprets the number, size, and arrangement of the puffy sections; the designer’s photos establish the actual construction. Treat the sewing and lining as a substantial part of the project rather than a quick final step. Check the listed finished dimensions against your phone or other intended contents before choosing yarn, because changing the square scale changes the overall bag.
Pattern: Puffy Quilted Belt Bag — HELLOhappy.
Access and fit: Paid English PDF in US terms; purchase required. Approximately 7½ inches wide by 4½ inches tall, with size-adjustment guidance. Includes fabric lining, zipper and adjustable strap instructions; intermediate assembly.
17.) Graphic Black-and-White Intarsia
Large blocks of black and white give Bagge a bold graphic surface. Molla Mills uses intarsia crochet and charts across the bag components, including the front pocket, so the pattern continues through the finished form. A small yellow cord provides a useful illustrated accent without softening the strong contrast. Our image interprets the geometric arrangement and pocket alignment; use the original charts for the actual color boundaries. Keep the flat pieces identified while working, because their positions matter when the designs are brought together. The leather belt and reinforced zipper seams are part of the finishing plan, so gather those materials before deciding whether a different braided yarn will be suitable.
Pattern: Bagge Belt Bag — Molla Mills for Lankava.
Access and fit: Free complete English PDF and charts; no account required. Approximately 25 by 15 by 7 cm. Uses a 30 cm zipper, an 80–90 cm leather belt, cord, cord lock and cord ends.
18.) A Contrast-Edged Envelope With a Flower
An envelope-shaped flap and a bright flower make this bag feel deliberately cheerful. Sara Sach’s pattern uses simple fabric for the body, then defines the edges with a contrasting shade and adds an adjustable crocheted strap. Jade with coral edging gives the illustration a softer variation on the designer’s high-contrast sample. Our image interprets the flower size and border thickness; the original photos show the exact flap, buttonhole, and strap arrangement. Choose a button that works with the flower rather than hiding it completely. Read through both strap sections before fastening them to the body, and check how the D-rings sit so the finished bag hangs comfortably at the intended position.
Pattern: Fanny Packs Are Back — Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs.
Access and fit: Free complete web pattern and crochet-along; no account required. Optional paid ad-free PDF. One bag size, with two strap sections and D-ring adjustment. Includes button closure and a crocheted flower.
Choose the Fit Before the Finishing Touches
Start with the way you want to wear the bag, then choose the construction and closure that suit that purpose. A separate belt, a braided tie, a fixed crochet strap, and an adjustable buckle all feel different in use. Compare the pattern’s dimensions with the items you actually plan to carry, and check the full finishing section before buying yarn. Color can make a familiar shape feel personal, but careful seams, well-matched fittings, and a strap that fits are what bring the finished project together. Use the original designer’s photographs as your construction reference while treating these illustrations as a starting point for your own palette.
