PATTERN AND SIZING NOTES

  • Must have knowledge of: working in the BB of the foundation chain, slip stitch, single crochet, triple crochet and seaming.
  • This crochet cross-body bag is made in one piece which is then folded and seamed on the side, then the D-rings and strap ate attached.
  • The texture is created by alternating SC and TC on the right side of the work. The SC after each TC must be tighter than normal to help the TC pop out for the faux-style bobble.
  • The textured faux-bobble portion is only present on the front of the bag and the bag is done flat in SC although you could continue the texture across the entire bag if you wish (I designed it flat to lie better against the body)
  • The CH 1 at the beginning of each row does NOT count as a stitch.
  • The stitch count is given in parentheses ( ) at the end of each row.
