This design is very simple as it’s made in one piece, then folded and the sides are sewn together.
It works up very quickly and creates a good sized bag with plenty of impact! The bag measures approx 5.25in/13.5cm across, 4.5in/12cm long with a 40in/101.5cm strap.

It would make a lovely gift for a little girl or for making in volume to sell at fundraising or charity events.

As with my other bags, I’ve designed this pattern so that there is very little sewing to be done at the end as everything is crocheted together to avoid too many tails!! All of my patterns state exactly how much yarn I’ve used, by colour and weight, to allow you to utilise any yarn stash you may have!! I also include photographs in the patterns to help explain certain steps. And my bags are designed so that they do not need a material lining, making them quicker to finish!!
