Welcome back to another delightful crochet project! Today, we have an absolutely adorable and wonderfully adventurous pattern for you: the Mountain Owl Bag! If you love crafting charming accessories that add a touch of whimsy and nature to your everyday outfits, this enchanting and totally unique little bag is going to be your next favorite make.
This pattern is wonderfully adaptable and perfect for market prep, allowing you to whip up cute and functional items in record time. While the instructions are tailored for their classic, functional size, you can easily adjust the size variations depending on the yarn used—swap out worsted weight for super bulky blanket yarn to create a massive, huggable tote! Grab your hooks, settle into your favorite crafting spot, and let’s dive into making this adorable owl bag creation!
The Mountain Owl Bag is a 2-in-1 no-sew crossbody bag and mini tote bag. It is the perfect size for carrying daily essentials on adventures! This functional crochet project uses three colors of yarn and offers endless color combinations. The strap’s length is easily adjustable. The design features textured puff stitches made of double crochet clusters for the owl’s belly, as well as big round eyes, wise eyebrows, and colored wings.

Recommended Materials
This pattern was designed with Hobbii Ribbon yarn, which is a bulky weight 5 yarn that is sturdy and has very little stretch to it. This makes the yarn perfect for home decor projects and for making bags, totes, purses, and pouches that we wouldn’t want stretching out of shape after use. It was a fun yarn to work with, and I admire the beautiful stitch definition that it produces!
These swivel lobster claw clasps come in an assortment of colors, suitable for attaching to the long straps in a purse like this! I used silver clasps, but I definitely think gold or bronze would’ve worked better since my owl’s colors are generally on the warmer side.
Uses
- Perfect as a birthday gift or Christmas holiday gift for animal lovers and owl lovers
- Great for Harry Potter fans as well; customize this pattern to make a Hedwig by changing the colors!
- Sell this bag at craft fairs, markets, or boutiques
