Crochet Seashell Bag

"This crochet seashell bag made by joining 2 half circles together. The pattern looks a little complicated, but it is so much more easy to crochet than you thought. The bag has straw or raffia-like color and a nice texture, too. This is a medium size bag you can carry out with your essentials. I used the strap with lobster clasp from another bag I had a long time ago. I have included lots of photos to clearly understand."
