Crochet the romantic Wildrose Shoulder Bag that is composed of 15 granny squares that are seamed together in a special way! This lovely bag has an effortlessly chic vibe as it holds all your essentials and can be worn on one shoulder or across the body. A variety of crochet stitches using strong and sturdy mercerized cotton makes this design a very fun project!

The free pattern has been divided into 2 parts:

• Part 1 going through the granny squares, assembly and seaming can be found HERE.
• Part 2 going through the top edging and strap can be found HERE.

The PDF for purchase is 13 pages and includes the pattern and full step-by-step photo tutorial!

Gauge: Granny Square: 4” (10 cm) x 4” (10 cm); diagonal is 5” (12.7 cm)

If you would like to make the bag bigger, you can increase the size of the granny squares (instructions are included in the pattern showing how to add more rounds). You can find a full video tutorial that demonstrates how to crochet the Wildrose Granny Square in the pattern HERE. Of course, you are welcome to use your favorite granny square pattern and follow my instructions for assembly, seaming, top edging and strap to create your own bags as well!

Note that I used 187 g/348 yds (2 skeins) to crochet my bag: if you plan on making the strap longer, making the squares bigger, adding a pocket or generally crochet more loosely, I would recommend getting 3 skeins to be safe.
