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

Make a curved hobo shoulder bag without drafting the shape. Two 6.5x8.75 Inch (16.5x22.2cm) side panels carry the scooped top curve and a 20.5x2.6 Inch (52.1x6.6cm) strip runs around them as the gusset, giving the bag depth and its slouchy dip.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is this hobo bag plastic canvas base?
Each side panel is 6.5x8.75 Inch (16.5x22.2cm) and the gusset strip is 20.5x2.6 Inch (52.1x6.6cm).

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?
The hobo base has an open curved top with a 2.6 Inch gusset. The saddle base adds a separate closing flap and a slimmer 1.5 Inch gusset.

Should I buy a pre cut base or a plain plastic canvas sheet?
A pre cut base is already shaped for one bag style, so you only stitch and join. The plain 20x13 Inch sheet is cut to any shape you draw. Pick the base if you want this exact bag.
