​Granny Square Cross-Body Bag

You’ll need:

140g of 100% cotton yarn of different colors;

Crochet hook 2;

Zipper 22 cm long.

Instructions

At first, make 8 Granny square motifs due to the scheme. Start each of them with the slip st. Each square consists of 6 rows.

Connect every 4 squares by means of slip st and you’ll get 2 big squares. Fasten each of them with 3 rows of double crochets due to the same scheme. Then, fold the squares right side to right side and fasten the edges with slip st, except one edge, which will be the upper part of bag.

Handle

Make 16 double crochets (8 double crochets from each side of square). Make 2 rows with first color yarn, then add the next color. Change the color of yarn for 2 double crochets in every row.

When you get the needed length of your handle, connect it with the loose end by means of single crochets.

Sew zipper. For this, step 1 row from the wrong side of back and make 3 rows of single crochets, catching the front loop of the 2^nd row sts from the side of every big square. Sew the zipper.
