I have designed this easy crochet bag using basic crochet stitches with US terminology of chains, single crochet, half double crochets and double crochet stitches so it is not complicated but still has an overall affect of looking fabulous. For UK crocheters there is a stitch conversion for you in the abbreviations.

This pattern is very easy to follow with a concise step by step guide showing large images at each step. Of course, if you have any problems with the pattern, you are more than welcome to contact me via my Etsy Shop or by the email contact provided with the pattern download.

I have designed the bag in three pieces. A front and a back section, which are identical, and a long circular piece which forms the strap. The strap wraps around both sides of the bag giving it strength and durability. For this pattern I have used a 12 ply chunky cotton/acrylic but I have also made this bag in a 10 ply cotton and it looks just as good but will be a little smaller.
