Mini Bell Bag Crochet Pattern

Hands up who else has been playing Animal Crossing New Horizons? I’ve been kind of obsessed with it and to celebrate the release I put together this super quick and easy mini bell bag pattern. It’s the perfect size for keychains and bag charms so why not make some for all your friends?


MATERIALS

(Contains Affiliate Links)

  • Worsted weight yarn in yellow, brown and red
    (I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran in Mustard Yellow, Coffee Bean and Rose Red)
  • 3.5mm and 2.5mm hook
  • Polyester fiberfill
  • Yarn needle, stitch markers, scissors

STITCHES/ABBREVIATIONS

  • ch – chain
  • sc – single crochet
  • inc – increase
  • FLO – front loop only
  • invdec – invisible decrease
  • st/s – stitch/es

SPECIAL STITCHES

NOTES

The pattern is written using US terminology and measures approximately 1.5″ (4cm) x 1.25″ (3.5cm).
Pieces are worked in a continuous spiral starting with a magic ring unless otherwise specified. Mark the first stitch of each round with a removable stitch marker.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Use a hook size to match your chosen yarn. Make sure that your stitches are tight enough to prevent stuffing showing through and adjust hook size if necessary.
