Cute Cat Crossbody Bag

This bag is divided into the main part, feet, strap, head, and decorations.

Note: Hand-measured, with a possible error of 1-2 cm.
Due to varying tension among individuals, the sample size is for reference only.

Yarn & Tools:  Marshmallow-Faux Fur Yarn for 5.00 mm Crochet Hook
4-Ply Combed Cotton Yarn for 2.00 mm Crochet Hook

Note: 1. When crocheting in rounds, always make 1 beginning chain to start with single crochet, and join with a slip stitch at the end. Both the turning chain for single crochet and the joining slip stitch don't count as 1 stitch. 
2. The yarn used (Marshmallow-Faux Fur Yarn) is special and makes it hard to see the stitches clearly. It's recommended to first practice the technique using scrap yarn at home, then switch to the main yarn once you're comfortable with the method.

Note: 
1. This pattern is making in Chinese crochet pattern terms, and the stitch name is written using American terminology. All measurements in charts are in cm. 
2. When crocheting in rounds without further guidance, working in closed rounds, start each round with a set number of beginning chains and close with a slip stitch. The beginning chain preceding a single crochet and the slip stitch used for joining rounds are not included in the total stitches. 

Part 1 Main Part A​ ​ 00' 30'' (Part 1) ​

The main part is divided into three sections: the bag body, lining, and magnetic clasps. Start with a foundation chain, then crochet in rounds counterclockwise along the starting chain. Once completed, sew on the lining and magnetic clasps. For details, please refer to the video demonstration.
