Moonrise Boho Bag

Moonrise Boho Bag Crochet Pattern

What Is Being Made

The Moonrise Boho Bag is an intermediate-level crochet project designed by Jess Coppom of Make & Do Crew. This fringed boho purse combines bohemian style with practical functionality, sized perfectly to carry essentials like a wallet, lipstick, and water bottle. The bag features a distinctive richly textured circular construction that gives it its characteristic boho aesthetic.

Bag Construction and Design

This crochet bag is constructed from three main pieces that work together to create the finished accessory:

• Front panel – crafted from the textured circular base
• Back panel – matching the front for symmetry and structure
• Closure flap – completing the functional design

The pattern allows for customization in finishing details. Makers can choose to add crocheted embellishments or personalize the bag with a special button and leather strap for added character and durability.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

As an intermediate-level project (Level 3), the Moonrise Boho Bag incorporates crochet techniques suitable for makers with foundational skills. The pattern emphasizes creating richly textured surfaces through strategic stitch selection, which is essential to achieving the boho aesthetic. The circular construction method requires understanding how to increase stitches appropriately to maintain shape and create the dimensional quality that defines this design.

Materials and Yarn Specifications

This pattern is worked in worsted weight yarn, a medium-weight option that provides excellent drape and structure for a bag of this style. Worsted weight yarn works up relatively quickly while maintaining enough body to support the bag's shape and the fringe details that characterize the boho design. A standard crochet hook appropriate for worsted weight yarn is used throughout the project.

Finishing Details

The signature element of the Moonrise Boho Bag is its fringe detailing, which adds movement and visual interest to the finished piece. The pattern provides flexibility in how makers choose to complete their bags, whether through additional crochet work or hardware additions like buttons and leather straps.
