There are never enough handbags, bags, etc. That's why I keep trying new models. This shoulder bag is very interesting and has so many variations.
Is very flexible, it can be worn for almost any occasion and it's much easier to make it than you might think. I think a patient and dedicated beginner will manage as well.
You can use nearly any material you like and you can make the bag any size you like. You can vary the size of your bag by using different type of material and size of hook and/or increase/decrease the size of the basic square.
This bag is roughly 40cm (16’’) wide and 30(12’’) high.
One square is 16cm (6,5’’)x 16cm (6,5’’) and you will need 11 of them + one triangle.
The strap can be as long or short as you will make them, they are adjustable, in this case 110cm(44’’).
You will also need the button that I crocheted around, the hardware and some suitable material for the lining. I lined each square separately and the strap as well (for strengthening).
I tried to make a small diagram/chart - the first three rows - that, together with the links below, could help you when crocheting.
