Airy Super Easy for Beginners Rainbow Striped Crochet Bag Pattern

Airy Super Easy for Beginners Rainbow Striped Crochet Bag Pattern by Kristin Omdahl

This beautiful bag is made with only slip stitch, chain and double crochet stitches. It is a bottom-up construction that begins at the base, then the walls are crocheted in simple stripes, and it is finished with a simple and stylish handle. I chose to use 7 rainbow-inspired colors for stripes but this bag would also be gorgeous in one color, or a different variation of stripes.
