This pattern is available from jipbyjan.nl for €4.95.

This pattern, from my book Haakspiratie, is made crocheting harlequins / lozenges which I attached to a Prym bag bottom. Instead you can also crochet a bag bottom.

UK terminology

The pattern also describes how to sew the fabric for the inside.

Materials I used:

➥ SMC Catania 393 (blue): 6 balls of yarn
➥ SMC Catania 106 (white): 1 ball of yarn
➥ Crochet hook, size 3 mm
➥ Bottom: Prym bag bottom with a diameter of 20 cm and circumference of 76 cm.
➥ Handels: Madeleine (Prym article 615108)
➥ Fabric for the inside, which has to be enough to cover a bottom with a diameter of 20 cm and the main part of the bag: Gütermann Ring a Roses Collection Long Island 647497 (on a roll) or 648558 (per meter), colour 40. Cut a piece that has a width of 78 cm and height of 38 cm (including seam allowance)
➥ Interfacing to add to the firmness of the bag (also 78 x 38 cm,
including seam allowance)
➥ Leftover yarn for the butterflies and flowers
➥ Needle
