Strata Bag

The Strata Bag is a contemporary design that is easy to crochet and is a great introduction to crochet bags.

Strata is crocheted in rows to create just one piece of fabric that is then slip stitched together. A sewn lining can be added (not essential) to bring more structure and stability, and you can add whichever handles you prefer.

The same pattern is used whether you are working with a aran or chunky weight yarn. Using aran weight will create a standard handbag size, while chunky creates an over-sized bag that can carry a laptop.

Aran Weight: 100g/ 154m/ 168yds; Sample used 300g/ 462m/ 505yds
