2. Cupcake Bag

Who doesn't love cupcakes? And this one is calorie-free! It may look complicated but is actually a fairly easy project. It was designed as a Halloween project, and if your little ones are going trick or treating they will love carrying this bag to stash their goodies in. Or if you love a quirky bag, you can make it for your own use. Why should kids have all the fun?

3. Granny Square Bag

The Granny Square is a popular way of making blankets, but it can also be used to make a lovely bag. They also work out pretty big, so you don't need to sew too many together. You could easily turn this into a beach bag by making six squares instead of four for each side. Don't forget that if you make a larger bag you'll need to buy more yarn.

4. Dainty Drawstring Bag

Doesn't this look like a bag a Victorian lady would have dangling from her wrist? The bag is from a vintage pattern, so it is ideal for those who love the retro look. It would also make a lovely keepsake bag for a wedding, if you know people who would help you make enough of them!

5. Yoga Bag

Here's a stylish way to carry your yoga mat to class. Because the bag is made of a mesh pattern, it will require very little yarn. So you could make it with the leftover yarn from another project. It will also be a very quick project to make. Use a variegated yarn to get a lovely colorful effect.

6. Cat Schoolbag

This is one pattern that lends itself to endless customisation. It could be used for so many purposes; the pattern suggests making it into a pencil case or makeup bag. Put a loop on the wrist (make a simple cord), and you have the perfect little bag to house your phone and cab fare on a night out. I love the little cat purse - a perfect makeup bag for me!

7. Lady Bug Backpack

This little backpack is beyond adorable! It's not a beginner's project, but if you're more experienced in crochet it's a lovely project for your little girl. She'll love carrying her things around in a lady bug. Of course, you could turn it into a fun little bag for yourself. Just make the straps longer to fit your body.
