If you’re looking for a crochet project that’s both stylish and practical, the Hexagon Bag is a perfect choice! With its geometric charm and roomy interior, this bag is a trendy accessory that will carry your essentials with flair. Crocheted from individual hexagons and then joined together, it’s a fun and modular project that’s ideal for using up leftover yarn or experimenting with color combinations.
The Hexagon Bag is great for beginners looking to try a shape-based pattern, as well as more experienced crocheters wanting a quick and satisfying make. Each hexagon is worked in the round, usually starting with a magic ring, and builds outward in layers of double crochets or other textured stitches. Once you’ve made enough hexagons, you simply join them into a creative layout to form the body of the bag.
You can customize your bag with a lining, add a zipper or magnetic clasp, and attach leather, wooden, or crocheted handles. It’s the kind of project that invites personalization whether you go for bold color contrasts or soft, neutral tones, the result will be unique and eye-catching.
Yarn and Color Tips
For a sturdy and durable bag, we recommend using a cotton yarn or a cotton-blend. Cotton offers great stitch definition and holds its shape well, which is important for bags. Choose a worsted weight or DK yarn depending on how structured you want your bag to be.
When it comes to colors, you can play with the natural geometric design of the hexagons. Try a monochrome palette for a sleek, modern look, or go for a rainbow theme using leftover yarns from previous projects.
Earth tones like mustard, olive, and rust are also trending and give a boho-chic touch. Don’t be afraid to add a pop of neon or metallic yarns for a bit of personality!
