Here is a beginner friendly crochet bag or purse pattern. It will be done in under 4 hours or less, 8 for the absolute beginner. In one sitting.

This crochet bag pattern can be viewed as a scrap yarn project since it does not ask for much.

Have some worsted weight yarn laying around, make this crochet purse and have a bag for your crochet hooks or even money.

Add some straps and you have a crochet bag/ crochet shoulder bag.
