TOOLS AND MATERIALS
We recommend using 7–9 mm thick T-shirt yarn (approximately 300 meters) with a reverse cut. This yarn is lighter in weight but still keeps the pattern full and well-defined.
For a two-color version, you will need:
— 200 meters of the main color
— 100 meters of the additional color.

You can experiment with other types of yarn, but please keep in mind that the appearance of the handbag may change as a result.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- The key rule for an even base and neat knit stitches is not to rush. After every 2–3 stitches, adjust the loops to keep them straight and perfectly perpendicular to the base.
- The finished size of the backpack is 25×10×29 cm.
- Much of the success depends on how carefully you shape each part of the bag by hand. This is one of the most important rules. Do not start a new round until you are sure the previous one is perfectly even.
- If necessary, steam the base after each round to help you better control the shape of the piece at every stage.
TOOLS AND MATERIALS
To achieve the neatest color transitions, we recommend using a 4 mm flat polyester cord and a 3 mm crochet hook (if the yarn is not too dense). A 3 mm flat cord will also work well.
The finished size of the bag in the tutorial is 23×9×17 cm.
For this project, you will need:
— black: 350 meters
— red: 40 meters
— green: 70 meters.

Hardware:
- spring gate rings (40 mm);
- closure (large);
- bag base studs (8 mm);
- D-rings (13 mm);
- snap hook (3/4 inch);
- gold chain (120 cm).
You can experiment with other types of yarn, but please keep in mind that the appearance of the handbag may change as a result.
RECOMMENDATIONS
- You can easily adjust the size of the bag by changing the number of chain stitches at the beginning and increasing or decreasing the number of rows.
- For example, if you want the bag to be 30 cm long, 10 cm wide, and 20 cm high: for the side details, start with a chain measuring 10 cm and crochet up to approximately 19 cm in height (leaving 1–2 cm for the flap fold). Then, for the main piece, start with a chain measuring 30 cm, crochet the required number of rows, and sew it to the side details.
- Measure the length of the pieces after completing 5–7 rows. The initial chain is very elastic, which may cause the first measurements to be inaccurate.
- The third short video shows only the calculations and specific details for crocheting the "Cocoa" bag. We highly recommend that you first carefully review the "Italy" bag tutorial, as it provides a full step-by-step explanation of all stages.
Materials:
— Black cord (150 meters)

- Measure the length of the pieces after completing 5–7 rows. The initial chain is very elastic, which may result in inaccurate measurements at the start.
- The second video shows the pattern being crocheted with light-colored yarn, and the third video demonstrates how to join the pieces together. The joining method is simple: insert the needle into two raised loops along the edges of the main and side details, creating a zigzag seam. This ensures a strong and neat connection.
