The Dahlia Crossbody Bags feature pretty Dahlia flower squares! They are crocheted with sturdy mercerized cotton yarn in a seamed granny square design. Choose between the large or the small version of the design. Both bags have crossbody straps and magnetic closures, and basic directions are given for lining the bags. The yarn used for this project is Omega Sinfonia which is available in many locations online, including Estambres.com and Etsy.com. This is an intermediate level project.
