Brigitte Crochet Bag

Crochet and summer go together, even when it’s time for a party! The adorable Brigitte bag is crocheted using simple treble groups that are also used for granny squares. The tiny bag is ideal for carrying all those small accessories you need when going to a party. Choose the Novita Disco yarn for a metallic sheen or go for a subtler look and choose your favorite among the various Novita Sointu colorways. The handles of the Brigitte bag are of a different length, and when carrying the bag, you’ll pass the longer handle through the shorter one. A cardboard bottom covered in crochet will keep the bag nice and sturdy. Complete your summer outfit by crocheting a lovely Brigitte bandana with the same yarn!
