Dishie is a hardworking worsted weight 100% cotton yarn with a tight spin and high absorbency. This makes Dishie not only easy to crochet with but extremely durable as well – the go-to choice for hardwearing projects that will last for years, even with daily use.

It’s a category 4, worsted weight yarn which is what makes these bag so sturdy. Check our handy yarn weight chart and guide to find out more about yarn weights and categories.

I used Mushroom for my cross body bag.

How much yarn do I need to crochet the cross body bag?

The following yarn amounts are approximate. Any changes and customisations will adjust the amount of yarn required so make sure to order plenty.

You will require approximately 505 metres, 550 yards of yarn to crochet the bag.

This is 3 balls of the recommended yarn.

US Terminology

If you would like your bag taller then continue to repeat as desired before working the final round as follows:

Round 14: sc in each st around, ss in 1st st to join.

STRAP 

– continue with yarn

Rows 1-94: sc in next 8 sts, turn [8]

Break yarn. With RS facing, rotate bag to have the other side facing you, join yarn to 8 sts from side crease. This will be diagonally opposite the first strap.

Repeat Rows 1-94 of the Strap on this side now. When complete, join together the last rows of the Straps with either a ss seam or sew them making sure they twist to form a cross body strap that sits flat around your body. Weave in ends.

CLASPS AND FINISHING

To add clasps as I have, sew 1 in place evenly to the front of your bag as desired.

You can of course use any fastening that you like including a zip, buckle or clip.
