Free Crochet Pattern: Round Shoulder | Summer Edition

This is a crocheted piece.

I made a loosely crocheted summer bag using extra thick jute yarn.
When it comes to crocheted hemp rope bags, they are strong and don't stretch easily, so you often see bags that can hold a lot of things, but this one is relatively small in size.

How about a round bag that can be knitted quickly and used frequently?
The thick thread can also hold heavy items like wallets and smartphones.
The third photo is a comparison with the paperback size.
Please use this as a reference for size.

I was wondering what kind of handle to use, but I decided to add a slightly longer shoulder strap to give it a more casual look.
If you add a zipper instead of a shoulder strap, it can be used as a small clutch bag. You can also add a leather handle and turn it into a handbag.

What kind of atmosphere will it create if the color of the thread changes?
Please try knitting it in your favorite color.

Instructions

Please also check the knitting pattern along with the instructions.

①Start knitting from the bottom of the bag.
Start by making a cast-on with 9 chain stitches (the stitches marked with a blue symbol in the knitting pattern). For the first row of double crochets, in the first half, you will pick up one stitch on the other side of the cast-on chain and the back of the crochet. On the side where you turn back the chain, you will pick up the remaining stitch that you did not pick up earlier.

At the beginning of each row, knit three chain stitches to start the chain, then scoop the chain from the side into a bundle and make a ponytail with a medium length crochet (it's a little difficult to make a ponytail just in the starting stitches, but please give it your best shot).
After that, scoop the double crochet stitches from the side into a bundle to make a ponytail.

② Up to the 4th row, increase the number of stitches on both ends of each row, and from the 5th to 9th rows, knit the pattern on the side without increasing or decreasing the number of stitches.

③In rows 10 and 11, decrease the stitches at the sides of the bag. Because the knitted fabric tends to be diagonal, decrease the stitches at this point.

④ Knit the shoulder strap.
To make the shoulder strap, cast on a chain of 70 stitches. For the first half of the first row, pick up one strand on the other side of the chain you cast on and the back of the crook, and for the second half, pick up the remaining strand that you didn't pick up earlier and knit.
Once the shoulder strap is knitted, sew it to the side of the bag.
