Last week when I was choosing patterns to share in my Free Crochet Patterns Group on Facebook, I found a really lovely bag on the Clover Blog called the Summer Slice Drawstring Bag. It is a beauty ♥ It is the project that inspired me to create this post for Must Have Crochet Bag Patterns.
The Summer Slice Drawstring Bag was designed by Kathy Olivarez from Kathy’s Crochet Closet. I wanted to see what other patterns she had so I (of course) Googled her.
I thought you might want to see what patterns were available too, so I’ve created a Crochet Pattern Finds Roundup featuring patterns from Kathy Olivarez @kathyscrochetcloset
Along with these Must Have Crochet Bag Patterns, Kathy also has some finished items available in her shop that can be purchased and shipped right to your door!
Kathy designs other patterns too, you will also find patterns for beanies, bucket hats, scarves, ear warmers and shawls among her listings.
