This eye-catching bag is crocheted in the 3-D wiggle technique, which places a continuous swirl atop a double crochet mesh. Temple’s conversation piece is hooked in RYN’s “Kauni 8/2 Solids” and finished with stiff base inserts, a fabric lining and purchased handles from Clover.

Other materials:
• 3/8yd/.35m coordinating fabric for lining
• Plastic canvas sheet or other stiffener for base (optional)
• One pair of 6”/15cm purse handles
