Note: This pattern uses tshirt yarn, double-ended crochet hook and pre-made base to create a beautiful crocheted crossbody bucket bag. Any chunky yarn will work for this stitch, but I recommend using flat yarn such as tshirt, ribbon, zpagetti, tape, or fettucine yarn as they work well with the vertical loops created in this stitch.

The pattern includes instructions to crochet your own strap, drawstring closures and tassels. I also offer advice on ways to style the bag with pre-made straps or drawstrings.

The finished bag is approximately 8.5”(21cm) x 11”(27cm) and opens about 8”(20cm) wide.
