I have designed this easy crochet mandala girls cross body bag pattern with basic crochet stitches using US terminology of chains, single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet stitches. I have also used the popcorn stitch but you will have this mastered with my visual tutorial which is included with the pattern. I have also included a handy tutorial taking you through the steps of implementing the invisible join when changing colours . This technique can be used with any crochet projects worked in the round that requires colour changes.

This bag is not complicated but gives an overall affect of looking fabulous. I have written this pattern in my own unique extended style with plain English so it is really easy to follow. I have also provided images at each stage so you can check your progress visually as well.

This pattern is written in US terminology but for those UK and Australian crocheters there is a stitch conversion included for you.

I have made this crochet bag using Milk Yarn which is an 8ply (feels like 10 ply) 60% cotton 40% acrylic yarn so it is easy to wash but this may not be available in your country. Any cotton or cotton blend yarn in an 8 or 10 ply would be suitable for this project. Epic Yarn and Colours in 10 ply would be a great alternative. You will need 5 different colours for this project which you will be able to make a few different bags. You can create so many looks with this pattern.
