Crochet Crossbody Bag Pattern PDF | Round Mandala Purse with Shell Edging, US Terms | Instant PDF

🌸 Round Crossbody Bag — PDF Crochet Pattern
Openwork mandala flap • Shell stitch edging • Button closure • Approx. 17.5 × 15 cm (7 × 6 in) • Intermediate

The flap is a mandala. That is the whole design, and it is the reason to make this bag rather than any other small crochet bag: concentric rings of arches and clusters, radiating from a centre point, finished with a shell border that follows the curve. It is a doily worked into a garment, and it looks far more technical than it is — the rings repeat, so once you have worked the first two you know the rhythm for all of them.

The body is dense and plain, which is deliberate. It gives the openwork something to be seen against, and it is where the bag gets its strength.
