Maze Bag

This is a robust bag designed for everyday use. It has reinforcement in the base and both the long and short handle. It has a button closure. A zip or snap closure can easily be substituted. Instructions are included for adding a lining.

The bottom is worked in the round in two pieces which are then joined with stabilizing in between, then stitches are picked up around the base to work the body in the round with side shaping.

The pattern uses one of the mosaic crochet techniques. It is worked with two rows per colour.The pattern is 16 pages long and includes written instructions, photo tutorials and charts and the mosaic technique is fully explained - a great pattern to try out mosaic crochet !!

The long handle is worked separately and then attached along the inside to give a secure and decorative result. It can also be hidden inside the bag if the short handles are preferred.
