Crochet Pattern Bag "Small but Lovely"

This bag may be quite small, but it is especially well suited for an evening out. 
It would even be perfect for children. After all, it fits a key, tissues, a wallet, a phone, and a few other small important things.
We crochet a fairly simple pattern with a great effect. And everything is explained in great detail.

The bag closes with a snap fastener and, as a lovely accessory, has a large, somewhat special button. It also has a sturdy leather base.

Material
ONline Layla 50 g/105 m yardage (approx. 200 g blue, a little gray) / crochet hooks 3.5 and 4.0
2 key rings (approx. 25 mm) / 1 bag base (21.0 cm x 8.0 cm)
sewing needle/darning needle / magnetic snap fastener / 1 large button / 4 markers

What will be crocheted
  • chain stitch
  • slip stitch
  • single crochet
  • half double crochet
  • crochet in rounds 

Have fun, Dorigurumi
