Welcome back to another Animal Crossing blog post! Check out my previous Animal Crossing post here. There are tons of Animal Crossing crochet patterns out there (check out my previous AC pattern) but I wanted to make something that hadn’t been made before so I decided to crochet the famous Animal Crossing item bag.
I’ll really satisfied with how it came out. Whenever I’m able to crochet something that looks exactly like what I was trying to crochet I feel really proud of myself! Like, I can’t believe I was able to crochet a paper bag! Haha
If you don’t crochet and would like your own Animal Crossing item bag (or would like to support me) you can order this Animal Crossing starter set I just posted in my shop. If you crochet this project, you can post it on Ravelry or tag me @mooeyscrochet so that I can see your creation. If you want to learn how to crochet, watch my crochet how-to video here. If you would like to support me for making this crochet pattern available for free, you can buy me a Ko-fi. Check out all of my free crochet patterns here and my shop to see my original crocheted items.

Sides (make 2)

Assembly
Sew the sides of the bag between the front, back, and bottom part of the bag. Weave in all the loose ends. To create that “paper bag effect” fold the sides of the bag.
With brown felt and scissors cut out a raccoon-shaped piece. Glue with no-sew glue and press lightly to secure. Leave to dry.
Feel free to make the bag bigger if you want by adding stitches and rows. I made this bag by trying to imagine the size of the item bag as if I were an Animal Crossing character. If you want the bag to hold heavier things use a sturdy yarn.
