The crocodile stitch is ideal for crochet bag patterns because it gives them a great layered appearance. Everyone needs a bag that they can pack a lot in but not look like they're carrying around a suitcase, which is why this stitch is so perfect.

The individual stitches are larger, so they take up enough space to keep from drowning in all the material. They also overlap to make the bag flirty and edgy. Especially with the scale theme, these make great beach bags.
