"This crochet shoulder bag pattern is simple, beginner friendly and easy to make. It's made using a combination of single crochet and spike stitch. I used a 2mm macrame cord for this one and I highly recommend it rather than substituting, although the pattern includes the recommended yarn to substitute. There are no accessories or hardware to purchase, and no sizing adjustments to be made. The straps are crocheted from the same macrame cord as the bag. "
