Hi everyone! This is a reference pattern for my youtube tutorial . Since this bag is made-to-measure and customizable, you can use this pattern to make a shoulder, tote, or mini bag.  Here are the measurements & other specifications of my bag if you want to make the same size as mine: Yarn - around 150 grams of circulo classic pull / Hook size - 4 mm Back & front piece - 23 cm width / 16 cm length Side & bottom piece - 3 cm width / 53 cm length Strap - 1.5 cm width / 43 cm length Abbreviations (US terms): sc - single crochet / dc - double crochet / tc - triple crochet Step 1: crochet the front & back piece following the same steps Foundation chain - make a slip knot & chain in multiples of 3 until you have the desired width (I chained 33 for my bag) Row 1 - chain 1 (this is a turning chain that doesn't count as a stitch) and turn your work, skip the turning chain, sc into every chain Row 2 - chain 1 and turn your work, dc into the 1st stitch, repeat this pa
