Crossbody Crochet Boho Bag Inspiration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During homecoming week in high school, we always had a \"70's day\" where everyone would dress up in bell bottoms and bandanas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As child of a woman who is both a certifiable hippy AND prolific crocheter, I always had the best \"70's day\" costumes. Authentic granny squares<\/a>. Legit embroidery. Fringe for days. My mom's closet is like a time capsule.<\/p>\n\n\n

Perhaps I've been trying to ensure the same future wardrobe options for my own daughters because I've really been on a bohemian kick<\/a> lately. First it was my crochet moccasins<\/a>, then \"The Huggle\" knit hooded cowl<\/a>, next the Cocoon Cardigan pattern<\/a>, and my Coachella Boots with flip flop soles<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now this crochet purse pattern<\/a> that fits squarely in the \"boho\" category.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\"Boho<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I came across a boho bag for sale a little while ago and loved how it came to a point at the bottom. I set out to design something similar with a series of simple shapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then later I saw this gorgeous medallion<\/a>, and while there's no pattern associated with it, it inspired me to work out my own that would suit the bag I was dreaming up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two unique granny squares<\/a> and two basic triangles later, the Urban Nomad Boho Bag was born. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Update To the Name<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An update since initially releasing this pattern - When I originally named this pattern the Urban Gypsy Boho Bag, I had no idea that the word \"gypsy\" was derogatory. It's been brought to my attention now, so I've changed the name slightly. The boho bag pattern is still the same! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three Strap Options for Your Tote Bag<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this free boho bag crochet pattern, I've included three purse strap options. The first and most straightforward is a basic crochet strap that is sturdy, functional and customizable. This strap works up in three rows, so it's quick too.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Always a sucker for the ecru yarn + leather + gold accent combo though, I HAD to pursue another strap option with a leather belt I got at Goodwill for $2.00. Isn't it just a perfect bag strap?! (If you love the ecru\/leather\/gold look too, you have to check out my free clothesline trivet pattern<\/a> and my basket made from dollar store twine<\/a>!)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To attach my leather strap to my boho bag, I used pliers to separate D-rings wide enough that the belt could slip onto them and then just sewed the D-rings directly onto the purse. This worked because by the grace of the thrifting gods, my belt happened to already be looped at either end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Most belts though won't be like this and you'll want to use rivets to create your own loops. Persia Lou has an awesome tutorial on how to do this<\/a> in her own gorgeous boho bag pattern.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I also found a leather purse strap<\/a> that comes with clips, which is a great option if you don't want to deal with creating your own leather handle. My favorite part about this strap is that I can move it from one crocheted bag to another easily. Peep it in the Moonrise Fringed Bag pattern<\/a> as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the free bag pattern below, you'll also find instructions on how to create a six stand braid to use as a purse strap. I love all three options!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional Fabric Bag Liner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The fabric liner and toggle button on this boho bag free crochet pattern are totally optional, but they'll help protect your lip gloss from slipping out while you're frolicking in the mud at your next music festival. (That's what urban nomads do, right?)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
