Boho Belt Bag

Boho Belt Bag by Creations By Courtney

What Is Being Made

The Boho Belt Bag is a crocheted accessory designed to be worn around the waist, combining functional storage with bohemian style. This intermediate-level project creates a structured bag measuring 15.25 inches in length by 7 inches in width when laid flat before final edging. The finished piece features a professional appearance enhanced by stiffened felt reinforcement and is secured with a leather belt, nylon belt with buckles, or adjustable purse strap.

Crochet Techniques Used

This pattern employs several foundational and intermediate crochet techniques to construct the bag. The design incorporates the method of attaching sides as you work, which streamlines the construction process and creates seamless joins. The pattern utilizes both front loop and back loop crochet techniques to add textural variety and structural definition to the finished piece. Stitch markers are essential tools used throughout the project to track pattern repeats and maintain consistent stitch placement.

Stitches Used

The Boho Belt Bag pattern uses a variety of fundamental crochet stitches to build the structure:

• Chain (Ch) – creates the foundation and foundation chains for the project
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – joins rounds and creates seamless transitions
• Single Crochet (sc) – provides a tight, dense fabric suitable for a structured bag
• Half Double Crochet (hdc) – adds height and texture while maintaining structure
• Double Crochet (dc) – creates lighter, more open sections of the pattern

The pattern also incorporates specialized variations including front loop and back loop single crochet, which add visual interest and help define the bag's shape and edges.

Materials and Tools

This project uses Fibranatura Naturlin yarn, a natural fiber blend composed of 53% cotton and 47% linen. This material choice provides durability and breathability ideal for a wearable accessory. The pattern calls for one skein each of Color A (Cream) and Color B (Taupe), with each skein containing 170 yards or 155 meters and weighing 3.53 ounces or 100 grams.

Crochet hooks required are US G/6 (4.00 mm) and US H/8 (5.00 mm) sizes. The gauge is 15 stitches and 10 rows per 4 inches, which helps ensure the finished bag reaches the intended dimensions.

Additional materials include a 9 inch by 12 inch stiffened felt sheet for structure and reinforcement, a 40 mm button for closure, two 3/4 inch D rings for attachment points, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends. Construction tools include 4 stitch markers for tracking pattern progress, a measuring tape for accuracy, and a skip-cut rotary cutter or sharp object for creating holes in the felt. The bag is completed with a leather belt, nylon belt with buckles, or adjustable purse strap for wearing.
