A classic style of shoulder bag made from one piece, folded to make a slouchy main pocket and two side pockets. Worked in Tunisian Crochet.

The Main Pocket and Side Pockets are made with the Tunisian Purl Stitch, and the Sides and Handle are made with the Tunisian Simple Stitch, creating a uniquely varied texture that beautifully suits a practical bag.

The Tunisian Purl Stitch tension for the Main pocket and side pockets are slightly looser than the Tunisian Simple Stitch tension used for the base, side and handle, giving the body of the bag a slouchy appearance, whilst the base, handle and sides are appropriately durable.

A colour coded Diagram is provided in the Pattern for help with the bag assembly.
