Mesh Crochet Bag PDF Pattern : Oval Base

Make a mesh crochet bag with an oval base, airy V-stitch body, and shoulder straps worked straight from the bag—fully adjustable in width, height, strap length, and strap width. Clear, step-by-step rounds and rows in US terms, no abbreviations with size tips and finishing guidance.

What you’ll make
A customizable tote/market bag: snug oval base, 12 (or more) rounds of V-stitch mesh, and two straps continued from the body and slip-stitched back on for a seamless look. Optional ribbon or chunky yarn threads create decorative strap bows.

What’s inside the PDF

Getting started & sizing: how to pick starting chains (e.g., 36 ch) and test against an item

Oval base: two foundation rounds with six-stitch end increases and gap-closing tips

Mesh body: V-stitch definition, round starts/joins, placing new Vs in prior ch-1 spaces

Straps: begin from body, repeat rows (V-stitch + edge dc), widen/narrow options, 39-row example

Attachment: slip-stitch join at marked points (inside), weave-through ribbon/thick yarn bows

Finishing & shaping: weave ends, settle joins, hand-shape flat

Skill Level
Beginner to confident beginner (magic ring optional, chain, slip stitch, double crochet, V-stitch logic, simple seaming).

Materials & Tools

Yarn: acrylic or cotton (medium/4 recommended)

Hook: 4.5 mm (or to suit yarn)

Notions: 2 stitch markers, scissors, yarn needle

Optional: ribbon / thick yarn for strap bows

Size & Gauge
Fully adjustable: width = starting chain; height = number of V-stitch rounds; strap length = repeat rows. For a firmer bag, use a slightly smaller hook; for drape, go slightly larger.

Format & Delivery

Digital PDF only — no physical item will be shipped.

Instant download after purchase.

Care / Use
Spot clean; reshape flat. Cotton tightens with wash—block lightly if needed. Great as a market tote, beach bag, or everyday carry.

Maker’s note
Use contrasting ribbon in straps for a boutique look. Self-striping yarns make the mesh pop without color-changing.
