This here, let me tell you, this Prada tote bag crochet, it’s all the rage now. I seen them young girls carryin’ ’em, lookin’ all fancy. I thought, “Shoot, I can make one of them myself. Ain’t nothin’ to it, just some yarn and a hook.”

So, you wanna make one of these crochet tote bags, huh? It ain’t as hard as it looks, I tell ya. Just gotta get the hang of it, like anything else. First off, you gotta get yourself some yarn. Any kinda yarn will do, but I like that thick stuff. Makes a sturdier bag, you know? And a hook, gotta have a crochet hook. I like a big one, easier on my old hands.
Now, you start with a little loop-de-loop, that’s what they call a slip knot. Then you just chain a bunch of stitches. How many? Well, that depends on how big you want your bag. I usually do about, oh, thirty or forty. Then you start goin’ back and forth, back and forth, makin’ rows.
- First, get some yarn.
- Then get a crochet hook, big one is good.
- Make a slip knot thing.
- Chain a bunch, like thirty or forty, maybe more.
- Go back and forth, makin’ rows.
This is the part where you gotta pay attention. You gotta make sure your stitches are nice and tight. Don’t want no holes in your bag, right? Just keep goin’ back and forth, back and forth, until your bag is as long as you want it. It’s like weavin’ a little rug, kinda.
Then, you gotta make the bottom. You just kinda fold your piece in half and stitch up the sides. See? Easy peasy. Now, for the handles, you just chain a long piece, however long you want your handles to be. Then you stitch it onto the top of the bag. Do that on both sides, and there you have it! Your very own Prada crochet bag.
You can make it all different colors if you want. I seen one girl, she had one with all these stripes, looked real pretty. You can put little doodads on it, too. Like buttons, or them little flowers made outta yarn. Whatever you like, just make it your own, you know? This crochet bag, is popular, all the girls like it.

I made one for my granddaughter, she just loved it. Carried it everywhere she went. Said all her friends wanted one, too. I told her, “Well, tell ’em their grandma can make ’em one!” I’m gonna be busy, I reckon, makin’ all these crochet tote bags. But it keeps my hands busy, and it’s kinda fun, too.
If you want to make it real stiff, you gotta do some extra stuff to it. They got this stuff, I forget what they call it. It’s like glue, almost. You paint it on the bag after it’s all done, and it makes it hard as a rock. Or you can use a smaller hook. Smaller hook, tighter stitches. Tighter stitches, stiffer bag.
And don’t be usin’ no fancy stitches. Just the regular ones. Them fancy ones, they just make holes. And you don’t want no holes in your Prada tote bag crochet. Just a plain ol’ stitch, that’s all you need. And keep it tight, like I said.
This ain’t rocket science, you know. Just gotta have some patience. And good eyesight! These old eyes ain’t what they used to be. But I can still see good enough to crochet. And that’s all that matters, right?
I remember when I was a little girl, my mama taught me how to crochet. We didn’t have no fancy patterns or nothin’. Just made what we needed. Blankets, mostly. And scarves. Never thought I’d be makin’ fancy purses like this! Life’s funny that way, ain’t it?

Some folks, they like to line their bags. Put a piece of fabric inside, so nothin’ falls out. I don’t bother with that, usually. But if you’re carryin’ around little things, it might be a good idea. You can use an old pillowcase, or any kind of fabric you got layin’ around.
Now, this here Prada tote bag, it’s a good one to start with. It’s simple, you know? Once you get the hang of it, you can try makin’ other things. Hats, maybe. Or even a sweater! I made a sweater once, took me forever. But it was warm, I tell ya.
- You can make it any color.
- Add buttons or yarn flowers.
- Make the handles any length you like.
- If you have yarn, you can make it.
This crochetin’, it’s a good way to pass the time. And you end up with somethin’ useful, too. Can’t beat that. I used to crochet, make bag, sell in the market, everyone like it. So, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to do, give it a try. You might surprise yourself. And you’ll have a pretty Prada crochet bag to show off, too!
Just remember what I told ya. Yarn, hook, loop-de-loop, chain, back and forth. That’s all there is to it. And don’t forget to make it your own. That’s the best part. You can even put your name on it, if you want. I seen one girl, she had her name stitched right on the front. Looked real fancy.
Alright, that’s enough talkin’ for now. My hands are gettin’ tired just thinkin’ about all this crochetin’. But I hope this helps you out some. Just remember to have fun with it. That’s the most important thing. Happy crocheting and make a beautiful Prada tote bag crochet!
