WHAT IS IT
A crochet pattern for a textured bag using my self-invented 123-stitch. You can make it big or small – as a small handbag or beach tote.

If you use raffia remember not to carry heavy items in the bag. Jute is more durable and can hold heavier objects.

The bottom of the bag is flat so it’s able to stand on it’s own – the bigger the bottom the more it can stand.

You can follow the pattern instructions or measure along as you go to get the size you want.
The bag is very simple in construction and can therefore easily be made smaller or bigger it also doesn’t have any decreases or increases.

The pattern has been tested by Josefine (big beige bag) & Antigoni (small brown bag).

MATERIALS
4,5 mm hook

For my big bag (28×29 cm) I used 192 g/319 m raffia (50 g = 83 m, 5 mm wide)
For my small bag (11×18 cm) I used 81 g/99 m of jute (45 g = 55 m, 1,5 mm wide)
