Plastic Canvas Bag Base | Hobo Bag | 6.5x8.75 Inch | 3 Pcs Set - Crochet Bag Kit

Make a curved hobo shoulder bag without drafting the shape. Two 6.5x8.75 Inch side panels carry the scooped top curve and a 20.5x2.6 Inch strip runs around them as the gusset, giving the bag depth and its slouchy dip.

Which yarn works best on this mesh?
The wide grid suits chunky yarn, T-shirt yarn and thick cord. Match the yarn thickness to the hole size so the mesh is fully covered.

How is this different from the saddle flap bag base?

Can a beginner make a bag with this?
Yes. The panels are already cut to shape, so you only need to cover them with yarn and join the edges.
