Vintage Mosaic Handbag
"This small crochet handbag pattern is a charming little accessory which combines the timeless appeal of mosaic crochet with the modern convenience of a compact bag. Perfect for carrying your essentials – phone, keys, and a touch of retro style – this handbag is a delightful project for crocheters of all levels. Crafted from your favourite scrap yarns in two contrasting colours, the Vintage Mosaic Handbag is a wonderful way to use up leftovers while creating a unique piece. The Tunisian crochet strap adds a touch of texture and durability, making this bag both stylish and practical. Whether you're heading out for a leisurely stroll or a night on the town, the Vintage Mosaic Handbag is the perfect companion. Size: My finished bag measured 7.5" x 4.25" (20cm x 11cm).

Materials List
- Any DK yarn will work for this bag. I used Paintbox Yarns Cotton DK, 100% cotton (50g/1.76oz, 125m/137yds) in Kingfisher Blue 435 (Yarn A) and Rico Creative Ricorumi DK, 100% cotton (25g/0.88oz, 57m/62yds) in Ecru 054 (Yarn B). I would recommend using a cotton yarn to stop your bag stretching too much.
