Having the perfect accessories to go with an outfit can be difficult to pick out sometimes, especially when you have many accessories to choose from. What might make it a bit easier to pick something out is if it were handmade. Whenever you make something yourself you always want to show it off, so now is the time to do so. Crochet Purses & Accessories is screaming your name if you love to combine trendy items with nostalgia.

There are 25 stylish purses and accessories to choose from that are all easy to make and super colorful. You can easily fill your closet with a new array of accessories to pair with outfits for any occasion. Within the first chapter you'll find a review of basic crochet stitches and chart symbols to get you started. With clear instructions and a step-by-step guide the patterns in the book are manageable to make even for the beginner crocheter.

We've clearly seen that fashion is an endless cycle that repeats itself. Things that were once popular in the 90s are making a comeback, which of course makes you feel all nostalgic. With classic styles that have been updated to a modern look, you will easily love each of the patterns you see.

From purses, to necklaces, to hats and even sandal accessories you'll find something to make within minutes of searching through the book. With project names like Bahamas, Roaring Twenties, Slavic Purse and Accessories, Birthday Party, and Green Tea it's no wonder you'll be intrigued to make them all. The Bohemian beach bag is a favorite with its bamboo handles; you won't know which project to start with.

Grab your hook, some bright yarn colors and have at it!
