If you know the basic stitches (chain, single crochet, double crochet), you can make this bag. The special stitches it uses — puff stitch, cluster stitch, and the I-cord handles — are each explained with step-by-step photo tutorials, and video links are included for the trickier parts like joining the pieces.

The bag is made from six separate pieces — three rectangular ribbed panels and three decorative granny squares — which are then joined with slip stitches and finished with two I-cord handles. Working in small pieces makes it easy to pick up and put down between sessions.

You'll need 0.7 kg of triple twisted jute rope (approximately 600 m / 656 yds), a 5 mm hook (Clover size H), stitch markers, and scissors. The complete list is on page 1 of the PDF.

Width 42 cm (16½"), height 32–34 cm (12½–13½"), with handles of 48–50 cm (19–19¾") — comfortable for shoulder carry.

Absolutely! Natural jute gives the bag its signature rustic, structured look, but you can use any similar-weight rope or cord — just check your gauge, as a different material will change the size and drape. Choose any color you love!
