🧰 How to Make It

1. Create Panels

Crochet two rectangular panels in blue yarn using single crochet rows until they match the desired bag size.

2. Add the Border

Switch to brown yarn and crochet around the panel edges using single crochet for a soft suede-like border.

3. Join Panels

Slip stitch or whip stitch both panels together along sides and bottom, leaving the top open.

4. Add Strap

Crochet or attach a brown strap using D-rings and metal clips.

5. Embroider Flowers

Using a yarn needle and colored threads, embroider floral designs on the front panel (mimicking the original bag’s pattern).

6. Optional:

Sew in a fabric lining and zipper for a polished finish.

✨ Notes:

These dimensions create a medium crossbody bag, perfect for everyday essentials.

If you want a mini version, reduce each measurement by about 25%.

For a sturdier, structured look, you can crochet with two strands of yarn held together or add a fabric lining.
