Crochet Shoulder Bag with Overlay Diamond Pattern

This crochet shoulder bag pattern is perfect for intermediate makers who want a fun, textured project. Designed with overlay crochet, the diamond motifs pop beautifully, framed by post stitches for extra depth.

The bag is crocheted from the base upwards using half treble crochet (US half double crochet), with some rows of double crochet (US single crochet) for variation. The sides are worked in continuous rounds, meaning no sewing is required. The strap is crocheted directly into the design, making the bag strong and long-lasting.

Customize your bag with one shade for a chic look or multiple colors for a bold and creative finish.
