Harbor Loop Knot Bag

"The **Harbor Loop Knot Bag Crochet Pattern** is a fun and practical project for anyone who loves handmade bags. This easy crochet purse has the classic Japanese knot bag shape, with one long handle and one shorter handle. To close the bag, simply slip the longer handle through the shorter one. The finished bag is easy to carry on your wrist and is a great size for everyday essentials. Made with **Peaches & Creme cotton yarn**, this crochet knot bag has a sturdy feel while still being soft and flexible. You will need three small 2-ounce skeins of medium weight cotton yarn and a **4 mm crochet hook**. Choose one color for a simple everyday bag or try a colorful cotton yarn for a brighter look. The body of the bag is worked in **continuous rounds**, so there are very few seams to worry about. An alternating combination of slip stitches and half double crochet stitches creates an interesting textured surface without using complicated crochet techniques. The handles are worked separately in rows and sewn securely to the opposite sides of the bag. The finished bag measures approximately **8.5 inches wide by 9.5 inches tall without the handles** and about **14 inches high with the longer handle**. This easy cotton crochet bag would make a cute purse, small project bag, or handmade gift. You can also adjust the starting chain and handle lengths to create a knot bag that fits your needs. "
