Crochet Pattern: Bracelet Favor Bag
By Claire Ortega-Reyes – 16 CommentsWouldn’t it be great if party favors came in something guests can use over and over again? This little favor bag has straps that can be worn over the user’s wrist, leaving his or her hands free for other things.
Crocheted using worsted yarn and an H hook, this little bag is finished in just 11 rounds. This bag is very basic–add your favorite embellishments to make it unique! Adding a crocheted brooch for example, adds to the design and also doubles as an additional giveaway. |
Skill Level: |
Finished Size: 4″ wide x 4.5″ tall, excluding straps

Super cute Claire, thanks for sharing!
Very cute! What a nice idea. Maybe another way to use up some of those remnants too small for use in a larger project.
this would be cute for a purse if you could make it bigger….
What a wonderful idea!
Thank you for sharing your pattern,. as well as your wonderful idea.

Cute! Perfect for a birthday party coming up soon:)
Could this little bag be any cuter? I used Caron Simply Soft and chained 20 instead of 30 for the handles to make a mini tote bag/purse. Think I will finish it with pretty button and crochet a loop closure between the handles. My daughter is getting married in Nov. and this would make a cute shower favor with a lip gloss or other girly trinket inside. I’m not sure that I am making the magic ring correctly and would like a clearer picture or more steps after the pull up a loop step. A mini flower would be cute attached to the bag. Thanks Rachel!
Thanks so much Fleurdelis! 🙂 We have a step-by-step tutorial on making the magic ring here: http://www.crochetspot.com/how-to-crochet-the-magic-adjustable-ring/ Hope that helps!
Claire,
It took a while but I figured it out. I have 7cute little tote bag party favors made in different colors.
Thanks for sharing.

20 bags done! Fleur
i like ths very much…i tried this..its very easy n i made this in abt 1-2 hours…thank u very much
I made 25 little favor tote bags with shorter handles for my daughters bridal shower and loaded them with tissue and anti-bacterial hand gel or mini note cards. As an accent I pinned a small baby barrette on the front. Tthe ladies loved them. Sorry, no photos.
On the last round, do I single crochet in the straps or just the rim of the bag itself?
Hi Rebekah, it looks like you’re suppose to sl st in both the straps and the sides of the bag. So you’ll be working around the entire bag and going over both of the straps.
Thanks for the pattern. Just what I was looking for and I learned something new. The magic circle. Great. I’ve been crocheting for 40 years and this is new to me.
