You’re going to love the bright, colorful Morgan Bag! This soft, lacy shoulder bag uses 13 squares pieced together along with sturdy, comfortable spiral handles. I also include instructions to add an optional fabric lining and pocket. This bag is inspired by my Sunflower Bag, but uses a 2-color square to give it some extra style.

This pattern includes detailed written instructions, schematics for seaming the bag and tutorial videos demonstrating how to crochet the squares and handles, seam the bag and make and sew in the lining and pocket. It’s a full crochet along tutorial for both right and left handed crocheters.
