What you need
Steps
Pull the yarn from the ball and make a slip knot on your hook. Tighten it so it sits snugly but still slides.
Chain about 20 to 30 stitches to set the width of the bag base. Keep the chains even and not too tight.
Work a few rows of single crochet along the chain to build a flat oval base. Turn at the end of each row.
Join the base into a tube with a slip stitch. Place a stitch marker at the join so you can track rounds.
Start the mesh: chain 3, skip 2 stitches, then double crochet into the next stitch. Repeat this chain-and-skip pattern around.
Continue the mesh rounds until the bag reaches the length you want, roughly 25 to 30 cm for a shoulder bag.
Work 2 or 3 solid rounds of single crochet at the top edge to make a firm rim for the handles.
Crochet two straps as long chains or narrow rows, then sew them to the rim with the tapestry needle.
Weave in all loose ends on the inside and gently stretch the bag so the mesh sits evenly.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep your chain stitches loose, or the first mesh row will pucker and pull tight.
Count stitches at the end of each round so the mesh stays even and the bag does not twist.
Use a stitch marker at the start of every round, since mesh rounds are easy to lose track of.
Test the strap length against your shoulder before sewing, as milk cotton yarn can stretch with weight.
Questions
Do I need to know many crochet stitches?
No. The bag uses chain, single crochet and double crochet, which are the first stitches most beginners learn.
How much yarn does one bag take?
One 50g ball is usually enough for a small shoulder bag. Buy two if you want a longer strap or a bigger bag.
Can I make the bag without a pattern chart?
Yes. The mesh is a repeating chain-and-skip pattern, so you can adjust the width and length as you go.
