This product consists of the bag base, the bag body, the lining, the strap and magnetic clasps, making up these 6 parts. First, crochet the bag base, then crochet the bag body. Once done, connect one side of the bag body to the bag base. Then join the yarn on the other side of the bag body, crochet in rounds for the bag opening, leaving holes along the way. Then make the lining and sew it inside the bag. Finally, make and attach the strap and magnetic clasps.



Note: Measurements are taken by hand, so there might be a 1-2cm error. Since everyone's tension is different, the sample size is just for reference.

Bag body consists of motifs, joining the motifs, and attaching the joined motifs to the bag base.First, crochet the motifs. Work from the middle to the outer edge. Start by stringing beads to form a square shape. Then join the yarn to the beads and crochet in rounds. You'll need to change colors midway. The bag opening is worked on the other side of the joined motifs, attaching the yarn and crocheting in rounds. We need to leave chain spaces along the way.
