​Granny Square Cross-Body Bag

You’ll need:

140g of 100% cotton yarn of different colors;

Crochet hook 2;

Zipper 22 cm long.

Instructions

At first, make 8 Granny square motifs due to the scheme. Start each of them with the slip st. Each square consists of 6 rows.

Connect every 4 squares by means of slip st and you’ll get 2 big squares. Fasten each of them with 3 rows of double crochets due to the same scheme.

Handle

Make 16 double crochets (8 double crochets from each side of square). Make 2 rows with first color yarn, then add the next color. Change the color of yarn for 2 double crochets in every row.

When you get the needed length of your handle, connect it with the loose end by means of single crochets.

Sew zipper. For this, step 1 row from the wrong side of back and make 3 rows of single crochets, catching the front loop of the 2^nd row sts from the side of every big square. Sew the zipper.
