Pattern
Base
Tip: Beginning chain determines the wideness of the base. Begin with a longer chain if you want a slimmer base and work lesser rounds.
| 1 | CH 12, SC in 2nd CH from hook, SC along, 5 SC in last stitch, turn as you work in that last stitch, SC along other side of CH, 4 SC in last stitch (same stitch as 1st SC). SS. | 28 |
| 2 | SC in each stitch till the 5-in-1. SC, 3SC, SC, 3SC, SC. SC in each st till last 4-in-1. SC, 3SC, SC, 3SC. SS. Each 3SC is the corner. | 36 |
| 3 | SC in each st. 3SC in 2nd of each corner. Repeat till the end. SS. Diameter: 9cm | 44 |
Repeat Round 3 until you reached your desired size. I stopped at Round 12 with 116 stitches and my base measured at L28 × B20 cm.
Body
You can use any stitches to build up the body of the bag. I used the Moss stitch i.e. alternating CH and SC. And I used LSC in place of the SCs.
The same stitches are used for the cover. After 20 rows of 33 stitches and narrowing down to 30, I ended the cover with a row of SCs to make it easier to fix the lock buckle.
For the straps, I used thermal SCs, and the result is a thicker and sturdier strap.
