"This beautiful bag is made with only slip stitch, chain and double crochet stitches. It is a bottom-up construction that begins at the base, then the walls are crocheted in simple stripes, and it is finished with a simple and stylish handle. I chose to use 7 rainbow-inspired colors for stripes but this bag would also be gorgeous in one color, or a different variation of stripes. It is a perfect project for beginners, using Be So Airy Yarn! "

The Spring Sprig Bag Free Crochet Pattern
"This bag pattern is a perfect project for a confident beginner. It is worked from the bottom (base) up and uses basic crochet stitches. The base and top part of this bag are worked in the round (in a spiral). The main body part, on the other hand, though it is still worked in the round after crocheting the last stitch of the round, you have to slip stitch it into the very first stitch of that same round to join and then you will need to chain 1 to get the height of the next stitch. I've also included an option to add a detachable shoulder strap which you have the choice of crocheting your own strap or using a leather one."
