Casual & beach bag “Ocean Sounds”, size 43 x 54 cm (2 versions)

This crochet pattern consists of illustrated tutorial for crocheting a bag, size 43 cm x 54 cm (measured without handle). You can easily change the size of the bag by crocheting the bottom smaller. The bag can be used either as a shopper or as a beach bag (casual bag).

Treat yourself to a bag with a multicoloured pattern in your favourite colours.

The handles were crocheted with the double layered sc. I have created a video with the explanation for crocheting double layer sc. The video is publicly available and can be viewed using the link. The video has also been uploaded here at CP as an additional file to the PDF file. This video makes crocheting the handles much quicker and easier.

The bag can be crocheted either with detachable handles or with crocheted-on handles. Both variants are explained in the pattern.
