About this Event

Boho Granny Square Crossbody Bag Workshop

Unleash your creativity and learn how to crochet a stylish, boho-inspired granny square crossbody bag in this hands-on workshop. Perfect for makers of all levels**, this class blends traditional crochet techniques with modern design to create a functional accessory you’ll love to wear.

During the workshop, participants will learn how to crochet classic granny squares, explore color combinations for a cohesive bohemian look, and assemble the squares into a sturdy crossbody bag. We’ll cover essential techniques such as working in the round, color changes, joining squares seamlessly, and shaping your bag for structure and durability. You’ll also learn how to add finishing touches like a strap, edging, and optional embellishments such as tassels or fringe.

This workshop is designed to be relaxed and encouraging, with step-by-step guidance and plenty of time for questions and creative exploration. Whether you’re new to crochet or looking to refine your skills, you’ll leave with increased confidence and the knowledge to recreate or customize your bag at home.

What you’ll learn:

• How to crochet a classic granny square

• Color placement and boho-inspired design tips

• Joining granny squares for bag construction

• Basic shaping and finishing techniques

• Attaching a crossbody strap and decorative details

What’s included:

• Guided instruction and printed pattern

• Yarn and crochet tools (or bring your own, if preferred)

• Supportive, creative environment

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have a beautiful handmade crossbody bag—or be well on your way to finishing one—along with the skills to continue making granny square projects long after the class ends. Come stitch, relax, and create something uniquely yours!

**Beginners welcome but you must be comfortable with the basics of crochet to take this class (chains, single crochet & double crochet stitches)
