Crochet Cross-body Bag, scrap yarn bag, easy beginner crochet pattern

Being the Scrap Yarn Queen I knew it was time to make a new project and when I realized how much cotton yarn I had leftovers I decided to make myself this scrap yarn cross-body bag for the summer. I thought first of making a basket, then a knapsack (backpack, rucksack) and then settled for the cross-body bag. You see I always make cross-body bags but the pattern was all in my head and I never wrote a tutorial/pattern or made a Youtube video.

• I find if you stick to the same weight and composite of yarn, e.g. cotton, acrylic, your project will look so much nicer and more polished. I also worked over all my ends so there is not much to trim at the end of the project.
