The Azulejo Bag Trio is a versatile crochet pattern collection inspired by Portugal's iconic tilework, featuring three beautifully coordinated bags built from one stunning granny square motif. Whether you need a roomy everyday companion, a compact daily essential, or a sleek crossbody for the bare minimum, this pattern has you covered with three distinct sizes - Lisboa, Porto, and Sintra.
This pattern is approachable for advanced beginners and engaging for experienced makers, guiding you through the textured square motif and intuitive assembly for a polished finish. You'll work front post stitches, color changes, and a satisfying mix of textures to create a tile-inspired relief pattern that looks far more intricate than it actually is.
The sample is made using Hobbii Friends Cotton 8/6 and Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6 held in four colors - Whisky (16), Blue (31), Lapis Blue (93), and Natural White (02) - combining structure, softness, and a clean, polished finish that holds its shape beautifully. The design adapts gorgeously to any color palette you prefer, from earthy boho tones to bold Mediterranean blues. Available in three sizes, this trio is easy to customize for your perfect daily companion.
