This one is a proper project. The crochet itself is simple and repeats, but assembling the bag takes patience: there is hand sewing, and the handles and mesh panels are the fiddly parts. Plenty of complete beginners finish it. Some find it their hardest kit so far. How long it takes depends on how much time you give it.
Medium: 7- 15 hours
Large: 10- 20 hours
Extra Large: 13 - 25 hours
Most people work on it across a few evenings a week rather than in one sitting.
Both. The video tutorial comes in a right-handed and a left-handed version, so you follow along with the hand you actually use. Left-handed crocheters do not have to mirror the steps in their head.

Pearl bee charm, gold-tone rings and buckles, a real zip and a tailored lining. These are the parts a pattern alone will never give you, and they are the reason the finished bag does not look homemade.

The items in the kit are very high quality and plentiful.

Never crocheted before. Was easy to follow the video, with frequent replays.

The crochet is simple and repeats. The assembly is where the patience goes: the handles and the mesh panels are the fiddly parts, and there is more hand sewing than people expect. Nobody is timing you, and we answer questions at every step.

It took me quite some time to finish it and I'm very proud of myself for sticking with it.

This is the most gifted kit we make, and the one that most often gets someone stopped in the street. The usual reaction in the reviews is disbelief that it was handmade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really do this as a beginner?
Yes, and many people do. The stitches themselves are simple and repeat. Be honest with yourself about time, though. This bag has more assembly than most kits, including hand sewing and fitting the handles. If you would rather start with something quicker, our simpler bag kits are a gentler first project.
Which parts do people find hardest?
Two parts, consistently: crocheting around the mesh panels, and attaching the handles. The videos cover both in detail. Many people also find it easier to fit the handle brackets before sewing in the top zip section.
What if I get stuck?
Email us or use the chat button and one of our crochet teachers will walk you through the step you are on. Send a photo of your work if that is easier.
How big is the finished bag?
Medium: 25 × 23 cm, about 9.8" × 9.1".
Large: 33 × 28 cm.
Medium with shoulder straps: same as medium, with a longer strap.
Do I need any tools that aren't in the kit?
No. The hook and needle are included. Scissors are useful but most people already have a pair.

It was really fun and easy to make. The final product looks really good.
I have just completed the Blue Large Garden Bee Bag which has been really fun to do. I am recovering from a Spinal surgery operation so lots of bed rest. This project was ideal as I could do it sat up in bed. I was looking forward to doing the cream medium bag but at the moment it is sold out.
I had such a good time making this handbag. It turned out beautiful and no one could believe that I actually made it!! I have ordered two more handbags in different styles and I can't wait to get started on them!
It was so much fun to make this bag. The quality of yarn and other parts are great. The staff helped timely when I have problem. I am highly recommend.
Thank you!!
The kit came in a sturdy box and everything was packed well inside. There were written instructions complimented by crochet along video access on their website. I learned new techniques and enjoyed every second. So much so, I did a second bag and am now planning a third from crochetpark again. The bags are quality in material and I can see they will be hard wearing whilst still being beautiful. I can't wait for my next one!! A thoroughly enjoyable hobby project with a wonderful finished product, to gift or keep as a treat for yourself. I have also had great response when sending requests or questions from crochetpark. #youvemade acrochetparkfanofme!! With my first bag i used the beautiful bee on the front. I have used my own brooch on the larger one in my video, but have the stunning little bee to add when I want to have a change. Can't recommend enough.
This is my 2nd bag, made it in the blue before, instructions are excellent and very clear, when I took it in to work, I got so many compliments and requests, it was unbelievable! Need to try something new now.
I am pleased with my bag. It’s not perfect and it is a lot of work even for an experienced crocheter. For the mesh board I ordered additional lining fabric and covered both sides of each piece - not easy - but having tried the cross stitch I decided that was too much. I am grateful to others for suggesting fitting the handles before attaching the top zip part - definitely easier. As usual the tutorial videos are invaluable - thank you.
Absolutely brilliant! This is the 3rd bag I’ve made! Loved every minute . Will be making another for a friend . All three kits came very quickly. In my opinion all quality . Tutorials were spot on. I am a complete beginner and it made it so very easy .
Just completed the medium size Garden Bee bag.
I got the kit for Xmas and have enjoyed the experience immensely, though it did take me longer than instructions intimate as life gets in the way!
I loved the video tutorial instructions and found them vital at times.
There’s a lot more sewing than I expected but still enjoyable.
Look forward to making another style in the near future ☺️
I've made 2 of these bags, black and cream. Everyone asks where i bought them, very elegant. I found it hard to make, however, they are very pretty. Will buy other patterns.
this is the first stage of my garden bag completed. I am so excited to continue with this project. The videos showing how to do this are very clear. As a bigginer I am happy to continue, next stage soon.
Love my bag took a lot longer than I thought it would, Handles are the hardest bit but well worth the effort I didn’t like the white plastic bits that you could see when finished so I lined the bag again with black material so no plastic can be seen. I personally think black rings and black boards would have been better , but still love it .
Really enjoyed making this bag
I made the handles longer as I wanted to be able to put over my shoulder, and found some 7mm silicone soft piping to reinforce it which fits perfectly into the brass fittings
I loved making this bag. The result is fantastic and has been admired by lots of friends. It looks complicated but with the help of the videos, is very easy. I only started crochet in January and started the bag in March.
One point to mention - the instruction leaflet says do the rim of the bag with the 2.0 hook but the video says 3.0.
I tried to start with the 3.0 hook but found the stitches too tight so did it with the 2.0 hook.
I’m well impressed with this kit, very enjoyable to make.
The items in the kit are very high quality and plentiful.
Instructions are easy to understand and would be a good project for newbies to crochet. Thank you
Made modifications. Ordered black large bag, but the white mesh showed through. Ended up making a black outer liner between the mesh and the rings. Lining fabric was gray and didn’t like the fabric. Replaced it with a gold and black fabric that was heavier. Would suggest using black rings & mesh for darker colors.
The kit was extremely well packaged and very well presented.
I am taking my time with it and thoroughly enjoying the whole process.
I will probably buy another kit when I have completed this one!
Yes I know that technically it is ‘inside out’, but I actually preferred the ‘wrong’ side!
This was very challenging for me because I've only done cross stitching but I really wanted to learn how to crochet so I stumbled across this kit which came well packed and had all the stuff what was needed . This project was calming at times and I made a few mistakes along the way which I corrected over time it took longer then I thought because the tutorial videos had me confused some parts could have been more simplified but I'm happy I finally finished it's not perfect but it will do .I'm thankful that I've learned a new skill
At first it was tricky to get the hands and the technique right. i felt it was going very slow . kept pausing and resuming it. but once i could see the bag taking shape i had unlocked a new skill that i never knew. and was able to make a cute pink bag too (using the leftover rings). now my friends and family can stop demanding for more bags.
It helps passed my time for when i was bored or while watching my shows.
Loved making it but could see the plastic through the rings. I covered the plastic with some additional green thread and then went over the top with the cord provided in the kit . You could make the plastic the same colour as the yarns, make life easier
I crocheted this bag as a gift for my best friend. It took me a few weeks to finish, but I loved every moment of making it. The tutorial was clear and easy to understand. Seeing how much my friend loves the bag makes the whole effort feel even more special.
I should have gone through the reviews first, especially the one that said it is not for beginners. Indeed it is not. But when it is done, it is such an amazing feeling ✨️. I am contemplating doing another one!
This is the third one I have made. I did change things up a bit. As you can see, I used a needle and a herringbone pattern on the grids instead of crocheting them. It was easier on my arthritic hands. Also I used the lining instructions from the Cleo Tote using the measuring the garden bee bag for the pattern. It worked great.
One more suggestion would be to attach the handle brackets prior to sewing the top zipper section in place. Much easier
I do love this bag!! I get so many compliments! And using the brackets for the handles is wonderful. I could, if I wanted, change the handles with ease.
Terrific quality! What a great project! Thank you.
The. bag turned out better than I thought. The outside layer with circles was very easy to do and quick however the inside that included the white plastic where we had to cover with the cotton took a very long time to do during a needle. The project took more than five weeks to complete not like it says in the instructions.. I get a lot of compliments with my back and people do not think that it was handmade.
I loved making this bag and have ordered 2 different ones.
I brought it to work and people didn’t believe I had made it. I also had never crocheted before so the videos were amazing to follow and learn
Great easy to follow tutorials. All the materials in the kit. I would prefer a stronger handle so on the next one I will do the double strand option but it is useable. Thoroughly enjoyed making it and will enjoy using it.
The purse is lovely to look at. I found crocheting the rings quite easy. The project is about 20% crocheting and 80% sewing and finishing with hardware and zipper. The product description does not enumerate how much sewing and construction is required. The videos are very helpful and I recommend using them over the written instructions. Tip is to attach the straps prior to attaching the zipper top. Also, because I found sewing through the grid challenging I glued the lining instead of sewing it.
