Lucinda Bag
"Crochet bags are fantastic all year round but when the warmer months arrive they are even better because they work up fast and can go with you anywhere. And with the Lucinda Bag you get a really fun and easy pattern that doesn’t skimp on the texture. This design is worked from the bottom up with turns each round to give you a nice even seam and some lovely texture. The Straps are worked separately and sewn to the bag, which allows for customization in length and the addition of slip stitches or surface crochet to strengthen them as you’d like. Hopefully Lucinda will be come your favorite new bag."
