• Hook: Size H/8 (5mm) crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 double crochets x 8 rows = 4 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Begin with the Mandala Motif

Round 1: With natural yarn, make a magic ring. Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets into the ring. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the chain-3. (You should have a total of 12 double crochets.)

Round 2: Chain 3, double crochet in the same stitch, then work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 24 double crochets.)

Round 3: Change to teal yarn. Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 36 double crochets.)

Round 4: Chain 3, double crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should still have 36 double crochets.)

Round 5: Change to coral yarn. Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should have 48 double crochets.)

Round 6: Chain 3, double crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. (You should still have 48 double crochets.)

2. Create the Bag Body

Using natural yarn, chain 40. Join with a slip stitch to form a ring. This will be the foundation of your bag.

Rounds 1-10: Chain 3, then double crochet in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch at the end of each round. (You should have 40 double crochets in each round.)

3. Attach Mandala Motif

Carefully sew the completed mandala motif to one side of the bag body using a yarn needle. Position it centrally for a balanced look.

4. Add Fringe

Cut 10-inch strands of yarn in natural, teal, and coral. Attach the fringe evenly along the bottom edge of the bag. To attach, fold a strand in half, insert the loop through a stitch, and pull the ends through the loop to secure. Repeat until the fringe is evenly distributed.

5. Create the Strap

With natural yarn, chain 120. This will create a long strap for your bag.

Row 1: Double crochet in the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across. Fasten off the yarn when you reach the end.

Sew each end of the strap to the top edges of the bag, ensuring it is securely attached for comfortable wear.

6. Finishing

Weave in all ends securely using a yarn needle. This will give your bag a polished look and ensure that no loose ends are visible.

Congratulations! You have now completed your Mystical Mandala Crossbody Boho Bag. Enjoy your beautiful creation and the compliments that will surely follow!
