Crochet Blueberry Cross-body Messenger Bag



I love to make crochet patterns in my spare time, and while messing around and just crocheting in a circle I came up with the idea of a fruit bag, and using skeins I already had lying around the house I came up with the idea for a blueberry bag as a unique addition to an outfit or costume.
Supplies
- 1 Skein of Big Twist Value Yarn in colors purple, grape and light green.
- 4.5 mm hook
- Darning needle
- Shears
Abbreviations to know
- MC - magic circle or magic ring
- dc - double crochet (american)
- sc - single crochet (american)
- inc - increase
- ch - chain
- sk - skip
Body of the Bag
Start with color Purple
1: MC 8 (8)
2: (dc inc) x 8 (16)
3: (inc, sc) x 8 (24)
4: (inc, 2 sc) x 8 (32)
5: (dc inc, 3 dc) x 8 (40)
6: (inc, 4 sc) x 8 (48)
7: (inc, 5 sc) x 8 (56)
8: (dc inc, 6 dc) x 8 (64)
9: sc 64 (64)
10-23: dc 64 (64)
24: (ch 4, sk 3, sc) x 16 (64)
Change to color Grape
25: put three dc into one stitch, then dc. Repeat this pattern 32 times until all the way around.
26: cut and weave all edges
Straps and Tie

Using color light green, ch two lines, one 5ft (1.5m) long, the other 50" (1.3m) long.
On the longer chain leave 2-3" (~2cm) of yarn to sew into the bag as the strap. On the shorter piece, weave edges into ch.
Putting It All Together



1 - Weave shorter ch into the slits made in row 24
2 - Flatten bag, and find the middle. Sew one end of the long strap into row 23
3 - Flip the bag to the other side, find the center and sew the other end in.
Enjoy

Thank you for reading my pattern! Enjoy your blueberry bag!
