Tulip bag
crochet pattern
Materials
- 3-4 mm cotton, acrylic or polyester cord 300-350 meters
- hook 5 mm
- scissors, stitch markers, yarn needle
- handles for bag with buttons or sewn ones
For this pattern I used 3 mm polyester cord and a 5 mm crochet
hook. My crochet bag is 16" (41 cm) high, 14.5" (37 cm) wide. The
size of the bag may vary - it depends on your crochet tension and
the yarn you choose. The thicker the yarn, the larger the bag.
