Free Crochet Hobo Bag Pattern

Great result if you are good at counting!

I’ve made two of these hobo bags. The first one, the gray mushroom bag, was a challenge to make as the pattern for the straps is not completely clear. Each piece (front and back) works from the bottom all the way up one strap THEN use the paragraph just before “FINISHING” to shape the remainder of the 2nd strap on the other side. I get compliments every time I carry my purse! I chose to do a button closure instead of the flap. I have just finished the second bag and it worked up much easier. However, I added row numbers (and row stitch counts) to the different steps on my pattern to follow more easily, and I used a stitch counter. I highly recommend using stitch markers for the first stitch on each row too. I added the flap this time. I love the final result, but I would not rate this as “Easy”!

Pattern instructions don’t match Photo

This pattern seems to have incorrect information in it. They are not clearly written out. The way the straps are instructed don’t make sense !!!!! It seems like the front and the back ( by the visual photo above) that the straps are exactly the same, BUT the instructions leave you with the same for the front ( with the nice curving look) ,BUT what you really end up with according to the pattern, is 4” pieces that you see to the back piece. THIS IS NOT WHAT THE PICYURE LEADS YOU TO THINK!! I just wasn’t satisfied st all. You should really include a photo of the back

• We are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your experience with this Hobo Bag pattern. There can be many perspectives to make an item and the pattern was written as the original designer created the bag, which may or may not be the same path a different maker would take to acheive the same look. While the pattern does not have any errors, the construction may not be everyone’s cup of tea. It sounds like the 4-inch piece that is sewn to the Back that you refer to is the Flap, which is the closure for the bag. As the maker of the bag, you are welcome to leave that off if you do not like it. Ultimately, we do hope you are happy with the final outcome of your project. If you need help with one of our patterns, we invite you to reach out to us at any time. Our team is ready to help!
