Are you in love with handbags? Then you are going to love making a CeCe Circle bag for yourself this Spring!
DON’T HAVE TIME TO MAKE A CECE BAG? PIN THE IMAGE BELOW TO SAVE IT FOR LATER!
PATTERN NOTES:
This bag consists of 5 separate pieces: 2 circle panels, 1 join strip, 2 handles.
You will make each circle panel beginning with the magic circle and increase with each round until you reach a diameter of appr. 12″
For the colorful look of the bag you will be holding two strands of yarn together. This helps with creating a unique colorway as well as more stability in the bag.

- 5MM hook
- 2 cakes of Lion Brand Comfy Cotton Blend
- 2 skeins of Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton
- Yarn needle
- Scissors

SEAMING:
Lay out each of your circles and line up exactly where you want your handles to be. Make sure you do this evenly on both circle panels.
Next you will take the joining strip and seam each circle to it with your yarn needle one circle at a time. Make sure you keep in mind where your handles are when seaming.
Once you have everything seamed you are ready to start using your CeCe handbag!
