1. Rainbow Happy Fun Pouch by Moogly. I can't believe how many friends in other parts of the country are still experiencing winter-like weather. This little bag might be the perfect way to brighten up your day. 
2. Sling Bag Pattern by Yuli Handmade. This bag is perfect for days at the mall or the zoo. Decorate it with brightly colored flowers and it's sure to make a statement. 
3. Granny Stripe Boutique Bag by Tangled Happy. This is the first bag I ever crocheted. I've since made several as gifts. My nieces love carrying theirs. The little girls in your life will be thrilled with one, too.
4. Granny Square Bag by Kat Goldin. The other day I read a reference to granny squares; the woman referred to them as out of date and "your grandmother's crochet." I couldn't disagree with her more. I think a granny square can be perfect when done the right way with the right colors. This bag is a perfect example. 
5. Celebrating Spring Bag by DROPS Design. Love this adorable cross-body bag! Don't let the price at the top of the linked page scare you. That's the price for yarn. 
6. Owl Book Bag from Crochet Today. Being the owl lover that I am, I think this book bag is absolutely adorable. I can see myself toting my yarn and hooks around in this bag. There is a link to the PDF at the bottom of the linked site. 
7. Bella Ruffled Purse by Crochet Dreamz. You can't go wrong with ruffles, can you? And crocheted ruffles? I'm not sure there's anything better. I know two little girls who would fight over a purse like this one. 
8. Casual Shoulder Bag by Erin Elkins. This casual bag is perfect for spring and summer. Leave it as is or embellish for an extra pop of color.
