Named after the popular English seaside destination, the Brighton Bag is a super fun grab-and-go shoulder bag. I’ve used bright colors for a spring/summer feel, but you can get creative with your color choice for the perfect accessory.

The bag is created in sections, with the main body of the bag worked in the round. The sections are then joined and the straps are attached. Most of the design is basic crochet stitches with the addition of a cluster stitch to create texture and a stripe effect without needing to change yarns.

The strap length can be adjusted by adding or subtracting stitches.
