Inspired by floral granny squares

“Allons-y” is French for “let’s go,” which is what you’ll want to do when you finish this bag. It’s large enough to be an overnight bag, your new crochet bag, or even a carry on for your vacation!

Amanda Saladin’s Allons-y Bag pairs two-color granny square trim with single and double crochet to make a chic bag that will take you places. She starts with the granny squares, giving them a chic look with two contrasting colors, and has you use the main color to pick up stitches from the granny square trim to crochet the body of the bag.

The body gets its roomy shape by switching to a larger crochet hook and double crochet after working six rows of single crochet. After the body is complete, a simple two-row edging finishes off the opening.

The Allons-y Bag pattern includes:

• A list of necessary materials
• Pattern notes
• Finishing instructions
• A downloadable chart
• Detailed photography

With all of its beauty, Allons-y is a sturdy, working bag, and Amanda made sure the handles could carry a significant load. Jute rope is inserted into tube handles, and then they’re attached inside the bag, spanning the height of the granny square trim to make them strong. A tidy button loop finishes things off.

Go ahead and plan a springtime getaway—you’ve got the bag for it!
