The Loaf Bag Pattern

Say hello to the Loaf Bag—the only loaf you’ll never slice, but you’ll definitely want to show off. This stylish, squishy bag comes with a step-by-step photo guide and a full video tutorial, so you’ll never feel lost in the yarn wilderness. 🧶✨ Whether you’re team mini or shoulder, this pattern walks you through every loop and twist using US crochet terms.

For the Mini Loaf, you’ll need around 110m of T-shirt yarn or metallic yarn. Two skeins of 55m metallic yarn work like magic—but if you want extra body or longer straps, grab a third skein (because who doesn’t love options?). The Shoulder Loaf wants a bit more commitment: 130m of T-shirt yarn or 165m of metallic yarn, aka three skeins. 💪🎒

Grab your trusty 8mm hook and let the magic begin. Want to weave in ends like a pro? A little 3–4mm hook will help. Toss in some stitch markers—or raid your junk drawer for safety pins and paper clips—and you’re all set. No fancy tools, just pure crochet fun. 🧷📎🪄

The finished Mini Loaf is about 9 inches wide and tall (strap included), while the Shoulder Loaf stretches to a glorious 11.5 x 12 inches. T-shirt yarn tends to puff things up a bit more than metallic yarn, depending on the thickness—so it’s like a mystery box every time. 📏🧺

Whether you’re looking for a cute clutch or a shoulder bag with sass, this pattern is your golden ticket to loaf-level greatness. Stylish, squishy, and endlessly customizable—this is one loaf you’ll never regret picking up. 🍞👜💫
