Crochet Pattern Ivy Leaf Crossbody Bag

In this project, you’ll crochet a sweet Ivy leaf-shaped crossbody bag decorated with small ivy leaves. The finished bag is customizable and makes a lovely gift or everyday accessory.

The PDF pattern includes 42 pages with written instructions in English, using US terms, diagrams, and step-by-step photo guides to make it easy to follow. This pattern is not too difficult, but it may require a lot of focus due to the frequent stitch changes.

• You should already know basic crochet stitches like MR, sc, hdc, dc, tr, sl-st, increase, decrease.
• Step-by-step photos are provided for some special techniques used, including BLO, FLO, Romanian cord, surface sl-st, flat sl-st join, twsc, color change.
