#BILLYBAG is a crochet bag with a unique, slightly triangular shape – bold, cool, and full of character.

The bag is made in three parts and assembled as you go: first the base is worked, then each side is crocheted directly onto the base while shaping the handle at the same time.

All three parts feature detailed granny squares with a puff stitch flower in the center, surrounded by arches, double crochets, and more puff stitches – creating a richly textured and eye-catching piece.

This pattern comes with detailed descriptions, photos and a video.
