Crochet for Life, the site that always has modern content and that mainly motivates you to make new projects one more beautiful than the other! If you are a fan of handbags, why not a different step by step, which you will love ?! This pattern has leather straps to ensure that the crochet straps do not extend very easily! Giving a unique touch in appearance, with leather contrasting with crochet; you can choose very short straps, but long straps, you are in charge!

This pattern is very interesting, because having a different designer can attract many customers, both for their own use and as a wonderful gift! And this pattern has double crochet stitches on the front and back, giving it a rough and woven appearance, while making the bottom super sturdy (there are holes, because it is still crocheted with a fairly large hole, but it is not so loose that you you will lose things at the bottom), making the finish even better and being a quality product!

Fasten off, and weave in ends.

ASSEMBLY:

Hold a circle base and bag bottom together, right sides facing out, and the circle base facing you. Since the circle base is more of a hexagon, line up one end of the bag bottom about halfway through one ‘side’ of the hexagon.
Attach yarn with a standing sc. Inserting hook through both the circle base and the bag bottom, work 1 sc in each circle st, evenly around – Crochet the base and the bottom together using single crochet. You should end at about halfway through one ‘side’ of a hexagon on the other side of the bag.

Repeat with the other circle base.
Sew the leather purse handles symmetrically at the top of the bag.
- If you are using the purse handles from my link, with 5 holes (4 corners and 1 in the center), follow these directions to sew a square with an X. With the handle and outside of the bag facing you, work the needle:
- back to front through bottom right hole
- front to back through top right hole
- back to front through top left hole
- front to back through top right hole
- back to front through top left hole
- front to back through bottom left hole
- back to front through bottom right hole
- front to back through bottom left hole
- back to front through middle hole
- front to back through top left hole
- back to front through middle hole
- front to back through top right hole
- back to front through middle hole
- front to back through bottom right hole
- back to front through middle hole
- front to back through bottom left hole
- Tie the beginning and ending tails together to secure, and weave in ends.
