A chevron crochet stitch in the back loop only creates the look of this zigzag bag.

The main body of my bag measures 28 x 36 cm. 11 x 14 inches.

The written pattern and tutorial shows you how to crochet the bag, plus I show you how to sew and attach a fabric lining with magnetic clasp.

Throughout the pattern I use both US an UK terms.

You will need:

• 3mm hook. Or a hook that creates a tight gauge.
• Cotton DK in lots of colours. Approx 200 grams. I used Paintbox but other dk cotton would be excellent as well.
• Fabric lining and interfacing. Plus all the sewing gubbins that goes with this.
• Magnetic clasp if you fancy attaching one.
• Bag handles. I got mine from Amazon. Etsy always has good ones as well. Or, upcycle some from an existing bag that’s no longer used.
• A needle that is pointy with a largish eye for sewing the bag handles.
