my true passion is making functional crochet items.
So I love it when I can combine the fun of the toys, with the functionality of something else...
This year, it produced the Any Accessory Bag ...
A bag that can be used for almost anything... from tricks and treats, to dress up and playdates.
And best part, I am going to share it with you here!

General Notes:
- This pattern is worked in rows. I do NOT utilize 'turning chains' when working in single crochet stitches.

So on a good surface, lay out your Body of Bag with the wrong side face up and beginning at the widest corner (Row 1 - the outside st of the first Inc made during Row/Rnd 72), place a pin to mark what will be the top edge of front of bag that meets the side - then work working towards the opposite end of the piece, count 23 more sts and mark this st (this will be your inside lower side front corner), count 10 more sts and mark this st (this will be your inside lower back corner), count your final 23 sts and mark this st.
Place a side piece in the area where the "9 sts" are between the pins and you are ready to being sewing your bag together.
Once side one is done - repeat the process with the 2nd Side of Bag piece you made.
You can use whichever stitch you are most comfortable working with. The model bag uses the common 'whipstitch'.
