These tiny crochet treasure bags are perfect for using little bits of yarn left over from other projects. You can also change up the size by using a different weight of yarn or making the base or the sides of the bag bigger.
The samples use a single color for the body with the contrasting yarn used at the top of the bag and for the drawstring, but you can make it even scrappier by changing colors every couple of rounds.
These cute crochet bags are perfect for holding little rocks or shells from a nature walk, tiny gifts, and other special treasures.

This rnd is worked in the opposite direction from normal, to make the working yarn twist around the sts. So if you are right-handed, you will be working from left to right. If you are left-handed, you will be working from right to left. Do not turn your work, simply work each single crochet in the previous st instead of the next one.
Join B with sl st in any st.
Rnd 13: Ch 1, [sc in previous st] around. Fasten off, sew tail to first st to join rnd. Weave in all ends.
Drawstring:
Ch 50. Fasten off.
Weave drawstring through the stitches of rnd 11 on bag.
Using one of the tails, sew the ends of the drawstring together.
Weave in all ends.

I love little bags…been making them for years and years.
These are sooooo sweet….
Thank you!
They are so cute, perfect for little treasures
I have been crocheting drawstring bags for years but I don’t use a magic circle to start any of my “creations”. I use a slipknot which was how I was taught around 45 years ago. I have yet to make my 1st magic circle.
These little bags are really cute.
I never use a magic circle either, I prefer the old fashion way of starting a circle
I’ve been crocheting for over 25 years and I have never used a magic ring. I do the old way with a slip knot. and I just can’t get the hang of making a magic ring. The old way is best for me!
