American crochet terms.

This pattern is for a fun hippy peace symbol crossbody bag. The pattern uses readily available Lily Sugar n Cream cotton yarn but another worsted weight yarn can be substituted.

The body of the bag is worked in tapestry crochet a technique in which the yarn is carried along under the crochet stitches…it gives a nice finished look to the inside of the bag, plus there are fewer tails to sew in.
The pattern explains how to do this easy technique and should be easy to learn for any intermediate crocheter. The pattern is not recommended for a crochet beginner.

The bag is worked in a continuous spiral so there is no unsightly joining line. It is about 7 inches wide by 9 1/2 inches long. The strap is about 45 inches long.

A crossbody bag is nice when you want free hands and don’t want to carry around a big purse. You can carry your phone, a credit card case, compact, etc. It closes with a strong snap.

Directions for lining it in felt are included though lining is optional. It does prevent stretching.
