This messenger bag is crocheted with 2 strands of worsted weight yarn for durability and form. The bag features a large, intricate cable flanked by two smaller cables. Instructions are provided for attaching a customizable-length strap with a D-ring or directly to the bag.

The bag is constructed in three panels. Step-by-step instructions, with photos, are provided on the assembly.

This pattern is not suitable for beginners. It is best suited for those with some experience using post stitches and cable stitches.

This project works best with stiffer, acrylic yarn, making it an economical gift -- each of the bags in the photos was made for less than $15.00 CAD.

This download includes both a 14 page full-colour pattern with photos and a shorter, printer-friendly, black and white copy of the pattern.
