Starburst Shoulder Bag
NEW RELEASE: This new pattern is 30% off through 8/10/25 MT. No code needed.
Take along everything you need for a day of crochet in this fun Starburst Shoulder Bag with snapped cell phone pocket on the front! The following video shows the shoulder bag in use: https://kathrynclarkcrochet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Starburst-Shoulder-Bag.mp4
This shoulder bag is worked in the round in the interlocking crochet technique from the center of the starburst base to the top border and includes round-by-round written instructions as well as lots of photos! A chart for the shoulder bag side is provided for reference only.
Since interlocking crochet is created with two layers of crochet mesh that are interwoven, the layers are separated to create the front cell phone pocket then interwoven again to complete the shoulder bag. The eyelets for the thermal-stitch strap are integrated as part of the interlocking design as well.
Since this pattern contains many diagonals to create the design, it is recommended for someone who is comfortable with the interlocking filet mesh technique. If you haven’t tried diagonals on an interlocking filet mesh project yet, you can learn how on my YouTube Channel! You can also read about it on my blog: Interlocking Filet Mesh with Diagonals!
