Crochet Cherry Blossom Purse Free Pattern: A Timeless Accessory

There is something timeless about a handmade crochet purse. Every stitch tells a story of patience, creativity, and craftsmanship. Today, I’m delighted to introduce this Cherry Blossom Purse, a delicate cotton crochet accessory inspired by the gentle beauty of spring.

Made with soft 100% cotton yarn, this purse combines elegance with practicality. The natural ivory color creates a clean, classic look, while the pale pink crochet flower evokes the delicate blossoms of cherry trees in full bloom. The floral embellishment serves as both a charming decorative detail and the perfect finishing touch.

A few months ago, I crocheted this lovely and feminine cherry blossom headband. This accessory also features the same beautiful and delicate crochet flower. This headband would be perfect to match with this new crochet purse.

The purse features a beautiful textured stitch pattern on the flap, adding depth and sophistication to the design. The lower section is crocheted with a tighter stitch for durability, ensuring that the purse maintains its shape while remaining soft to the touch. Perfectly sized for everyday essentials, the Cherry Blossom Purse is ideal for carrying your phone, keys, cards, or small personal items.

Whether you’re heading to brunch, a spring market, or an evening stroll, this handmade accessory adds a subtle touch of elegance to any outfit. I absolutely love crocheting little purses and bags. If you also love these dainty purses, please do check this feminine vintage clutch bag.

Indeed, crocheted accessory are some of my favorite designs to make in the Summer. The Summer and warmer weather is perfect for crocheting smaller accessories such as headbands, scrunchies and purses. These accessories are also great for everyday use too, which I love!

Crochet Cherry Blossom Purse Free Pattern: A Cotton Delight

One of the things I love most about cotton crochet is its versatility. Cotton is lightweight, durable, breathable, and easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for accessories you’ll enjoy throughout the year.

Each Cherry Blossom Purse is handcrafted with care, making every piece unique. No two flowers are exactly alike, giving each purse its own personality and charm. It’s more than just an accessory—it’s a celebration of handmade artistry and slow fashion. Cotton projects as perfect for the warmer weather; the Lemon Mesh Cardigan is a perfect example of using cotton yarn for a Summer cardigan.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift, this purse is a wonderful choice for birthdays, Mother’s Day, bridal showers, or simply as a special treat for someone who appreciates handcrafted treasures. The Cherry Blossom Purse reminds us that beauty often lies in the little details—a delicate flower, carefully placed stitches, and the love woven into every row of crochet. Handmade with love, inspired by nature, and designed to bloom in every season.

General notes concerning this pattern

For this project, we will be crocheting 2 different pieces to create bag.

First we will be crocheting a long rectangle that will be the front and back panels (once folded and sewed); then we will be making the V shaped front flap.

Once all these items have been made, they will be assembled and sewed as explained below. Then we will be crocheting a simple cherry blossom flower that will be stitched to the front of the flap.

Pattern begins here

Create rectangle that will be the front and back panels once folded over and sewed

With the 4 mm crochet hook and Drops Muskat yarn, make a slip knot, ch 33.

1: HDC in 3^rd ch from hook (first ch 2 counts as a HDC), HDC into each ch until eor.

2: Ch 2 (=HDC), turn your work, HDC into 2^nd HDC from previous row, and into each HDC until eor (including ch 2 from previous row).

3-31: Repeat row 2.

Fasten off, leaving long tail for sewing in seam.

Flap

Still with 4 mm crochet hook and Drops Muskat yarn.

To start, make a slip knot; ch 4, sl st through 1^st st to form a ring.

1: Ch 3 (=DC), 5 DC in ring, ch 2, 6 DC in same ring.

2: Ch 3 (=DC), turn your work, DC into same 1st stitch (=2 DC together in one stitch). DC into each DC until center ch 2 space. Place 2 DC, ch 2, 2 DC into center space. DC into every DC until eor, and place 2 DC together in last stitch (ch 3 from previous row).

3-6: repeat row 2.

Sewing project together

Place your rectangle on a flat surface, and fold one side over so as to create the front and back panels as seen in photograph below:

You will now be sewing the two sides of the project so as to create bag shape.

Firstly, using long tail and tapestry needle, start sewing one side up using the mattress stitch. Once you have reached the top of the project, tie a knot and fasten off, sewing in all loose ends.

Next, repeat the same thing on the other side (attach a loose piece of yarn for seaming as there is no long tail on that side of project).

Sew on the flap to the back panel

Secure your flap onto the back panel with sewing pins (optional). Sew the flap onto back panel, fasten off and tidy up loose ends.

Turn your project inside out so that the right side is now facing.

Crochet the cherry blossom flower:

With 5 mm crochet hook and Twister Solid XL yarn, crochet this flower following the pattern below.

To begin, chain 4; slip stitch to first chain to close off round.
Round 1: Ch 3 (=TC), place 2 TC inside the ring (=3 TC); ch 1, sl stitch through ring to finish first petal; repeat 5 more times, fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
Make sure you sew in your loose end from the beginning as we crochet the flower; once the flower has been crocheted, pull the center loose end so as to close off the center ring.
Leave long tail to sew onto project.
