This Carefree Zippered Bag Crochet Pattern would make a great accessory bag, pencil case or make up bag!
Welcome! Our Carefree Zippered Bag crochet pattern today is the fourth zippered bag here on my website. Like the others, including the Daisy Accessory Pouch, Summertime Accessory Pouch, and the On Trend Zippered Bag, this little bag is lined with a zipper and so easy to make!
It also complements the Carefree Market Bag which was part of a crochet along I hosted here on my site not too long ago. The little Carefree Zippered Bag is worked from the bottom up using easy crochet stitches. The bag is then slipped over top of a blank canvas zippered pouch that you can purchase at many craft stores and then secured into place. I have sewn around the top of mine to secure it, however you may also use a small amount of fabric glue.
