Yarn Choices for the Perfect Bag
A good bag starts with good yarn. While many like cotton because it’s less stretchy, Viv chose Red Heart Super Saver acrylic yarn in Cafe Latte.
The author recommends sizing down on your crochet hook to achieve a more dense texture. If your yarn calls for a 5.5 mm hook, consider using a 5 mm or even a 4 mm hook.

The crochet shoulder bag pattern is very straightforward and quick to complete.
It is worked using mostly double crochet stitches with a bit of decreasing for shaping the straps.
This pattern is simple yet so effective that the bag remains accessible to anyone new to crocheting while giving a polished final effect.
