Today I will post a crochet pattern which I designed myself. It is a bag with a dense bottom. I always find it difficult to estimate whether people will like my work. But maybe there is somebody who I can make happy with this pattern.

The bag is approximately 40 cm high and 27 cm wide. Do you want to make the bag bigger? This is best done by crocheting more rounds in the gray bottom of the bag. It is important that when you have reached the desired size, the number of stitches of the last round must be divisible by 4.
