About This Black Cat Bag Crochet Pattern

This pattern creates a flat tote bag featuring a bold black cat face using intarsia crochet colorwork. You will crochet two panels (front and back) in single crochet, following detailed row-by-row instructions and charts. The pattern uses DK weight yarn and a small hook to produce a dense, sturdy fabric perfect for a bag.

The front panel is worked in light cream and black to form the cat graph; the back is worked mostly in black with a small cream section. The instructions include clear tips for changing colors and hiding yarn tails on the wrong side.

Why You'll Love This Black Cat Bag Crochet Pattern

I absolutely love this pattern because it combines a playful graphic with practical design, resulting in a bag you can actually use every day. I enjoy the challenge of intarsia colorwork and how it creates a crisp image when done carefully. I also love that the pattern uses only single crochet, so the texture is dense and durable, ideal for a tote. Working the cat face row-by-row is very rewarding โ€” you see the image appear as you go.

Switch Things Up

I love how you can personalize this black cat bag by changing the color palette; try pastel shades for a softer look or bold jewel tones for a statement piece.

I often make the bag slightly larger or smaller by switching yarn weight and hook size; bulky yarn creates a chunky tote while fingering weight makes a delicate mini bag.

I like to add a lining to the bag for extra structure and to hide the wrong side tails neatly; pick a lightweight cotton for a professional finish.

I sometimes change the cat expression by adjusting the eye placement on the chart or adding a tiny embroidered mouth for character variety.

Want a shoulder strap or crossbody option? Crochet a longer strap with the same stitch pattern and attach securely to the top corners or sew on D-rings.

I recommend experimenting with textured borders like crab stitch or single crochet in back loop only to add interest and durability to the top edge.

For a tote that stands up, consider inserting a thin piece of plastic canvas or interfacing between the lining and the crochet fabric for extra stability.

You can also swap the DK yarn for cotton rope or T-shirt yarn for a sturdier market bag version; adjust your hook accordingly to maintain stitch gauge.

I sometimes add pockets inside the lining for phones or keys; sewing them in place before assembling the lining is quick and helpful.

Finally, try combining applique or sewn-on felt shapes over the cat for seasonal variations โ€” a little hat, bow, or embroidered whiskers can transform the bag for holidays or gifts.

Common Mistakes & How to Fix Them

โœ— Skipping the turning chain at the start of each row causes your row counts to shift; always ch 1 and do not count it as a stitch before starting the first SC of the row. โœ— Pulling the carried yarn too tight when changing colors will pucker your fabric; keep yarn tension relaxed and even while maintaining minimal gaps. โœ— Not preparing bobbins or small yarn bundles leads to tangled yarn and slow color changes; wind short lengths onto bobbins or cardboard before starting the colorwork. โœ— Leaving yarn tails on the right side when intarsia causes a messy front; keep ALL tails on the wrong side while crocheting and hide them later with a tapestry needle. โœ— Forgetting to count stitches at the end of a row can create an off-centered graph; count and verify stitch totals frequently, especially after complex color sequences. โœ— Not securing color joins properly can lead to loose stitches and gaps; catch the new color securely on the last loop of the previous stitch and continue with a neat tension.

โ€” Materials and Tools :

Info :

DK weight/ size #3 yarn. I used Alize Cotton Gold Practica (55% Cotton - 45% Acrylic,100g (3,53oz)/220m (240yd)) light cream (62) and black (60) colors. 2.75 mm crochet hook. Scissors. Tapestry needle. Bobbins or a piece of cardboard to wrap the yarn around for crocheting colored blocks.

โ€” Tips before starting :

Infos :

The bag is crocheted in the Intarsia crochet technique. If you did not crochet in this technique before, watch the YouTube video. You can find different videos on YouTube if needed. The front and back parts of the bag are crocheted in single crochet. Each square in the pattern indicates one single crochet. The bag is crocheted according to the pattern from bottom to top. The first row is crocheted from right to left. Crochet the front and back parts of the bag in back and forth rows (turn as you complete each row). Begin each new row with a turning chain. You can use bobbins (or a piece of cardboard to wrap the yarn around) for crocheting the colored blocks. Add more yarn once the yarn on the bobbin is finished. You can use as many bobbins as you like. Before starting work, you should have ready bobbins in pearl and rose colors. Try not to pull the yarn too tight when changing colors, but also do not let it be too loose so that there are no gaps.

โ€” Front :

Info :

Start crocheting the front side of the bag. Chain 81 with light cream yarn. Start working in the second chain from the hook as follows in the chart below. After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.

Info :

After finishing the back panel rows, fasten off and hide the yarn tail. Hide all yarn tails on the wrong side with the help of the needle.

Assembly Instructions

  • Hide all yarn tails on the wrong side with the help of the tapestry needle, weaving them into adjacent stitches securely.
  • Once the last row of each panel is finished, fasten off and hide the yarn tail to secure and neaten edges.
  • Crochet the front and back parts separately following the chart and photo instructions, then align panels so the right sides face outward before joining.
  • Begin each new row with a turning chain; this ch 1 does not count as a stitch and keeps row edges even for assembly and seaming.

Important Notes

  • ๐Ÿ’กBegin each new row with a turning chain (ch 1); the ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
  • ๐Ÿ’กUse bobbins or small yarn bundles for each color section to prevent tangling during intarsia colorwork.
  • ๐Ÿ’กKeep all yarn tails on the wrong side while crocheting and hide them later with a tapestry needle to maintain a clean front.
  • ๐Ÿ’กWork single crochet throughout to create a dense, durable fabric suitable for a tote bag.

This Black Cat bag pattern turns a simple single crochet panel into a delightful graphic tote you can be proud to carry. The intarsia colorwork reveals a cute cat face as you stitch โ€” a satisfying and visual progress to enjoy. Make one for yourself or gift it to a friend who loves handmade accessories. ๐Ÿ–ค๐ŸŽ’๐Ÿฑ
