Japanese knot bags are small, open, tote bags with one detail that makes them unique. They are designed with one handle longer than the other. You slip the longer handle through the shorter one to form a knot and close the bag. This way you can loop it over your wrist.

I used Granny clusters, or groups of three double crochet stitches, for almost the entire bag.

This bag works up pretty fast and the pattern is beginner friendly.It contains helpful photos.
You’ll make the bag in one piece so you’ll have minimal sewing to do.
