Paint & Brush Bag Charm Pattern

What’s inside the pattern

This pattern makes a two-piece bag charm: a little paint bucket with an embroidered “PAINT” label and a drip of overflowing paint, paired with a color-dipped paintbrush charm. Both pieces attach to a single crocheted chain, so they hang and swing together from a zipper pull, keychain, or bag handle — or you can shorten the chain and crochet each piece its own loop to use as two separate charms.

The pattern includes a full walkthrough of every technique used, not just the piece instructions: how to change colors mid-round and at the end of a row, and how to use an invisible finish for a cleaner-looking closing.

You can crochet it in worsted-weight yarn for a bigger, ~5 inch charm, or in cotton DK yarn for a smaller, crisper ~3 inch version — the PDF shows the finished result in both.
