As many of you like this bag: https://www.craftorator.com/lessons/9-gorgeous-crocheted-bag-pattern.html#comment_2624 but unfortunately, I couldn't find written description of it. But I found some similar (to my mind) bag patterns with written instructions.

NOTES
Yarn Notes & Substitutions: Lion Brand Rewind tape yarn was used for the sample in the pattern. Although it is classified as a 5/bulky yarn because it is a tape yarn, it works up more similarly to a lighter worsted/4. So keep that in mind if you’re looking for substitutions. Testers had great luck using worsted weight/4 cotton yarns such as Lion Brand Yarns 24/7 cotton and acrylic yarns such as Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice.

SEAMING THE BOTTOM OF THE BAG
Step 1: Turn the bag inside out, lay it flat in front of you, and line up the handles on the front and back (this will help you find the center of the bag).
Step 2: Using a yarn needle and length of CC approximately 3 times the width of the bag, whipstitch the bottom of the bag closed making sure to work into every stitch. Weave in ends.
Step 3: Keep your bag inside out and position it so that one corner of the seam becomes the tip of the triangle. Note that the seam is centered vertically in the triangle.
Step 4: Use a measuring tape and find the points on the triangle where it measures 4″ across. Mark both the right and left side with a stitch marker.
Step 5: Use a yarn needle and 12″ piece of yarn and sew from one stitch marker to the next, working thru both layers of the bag.
Step 6: Turn your bag right side out. The photo below left shows what the inside of your bag will look like. The photo below right shows what the bottom of your bag will look like. Add a tassel if you’d like and then your bag will be complete!
TASSEL & CHAIN LOOP
Chain Loop: Leaving a 6″ tail of yarn & using a 4.00mm crochet hook, ch 30. Fasten off leaving a 6″ tail of yarn.
Attach Chain Loop to Tassel: Tie one 6″ tail from the chain to the top of the tassel, tuck in end. Loop the chain around one of the handles, tie the other 6″ tail from the chain to the top of the tassel, tuck in end. Trim ends.
