A wild bag crochet pattern appears! It's a Sweet Bear Crossbody Bag!

A super sweet, surprisingly useful, little bear bag! It's 9 inches wide and 7 inches tall, you can fit all the necessities in there!

The crochet pattern is available here at HELLOhappy, Etsy, Ravelry, Ribblr, and soon at WeCrochet!

The crochet on this one is simple, but all the face parts and bag sewing makes it pretty challenging for a beginner, so I'm calling it an intermediate pattern. But a beginner looking to level up can definitely tackle this one!

Supplies

WeCrochet Brava worsted yarn (2 strands held together for most of the pattern)
3.25mm, 4mm, and 5mm hooks
yarn needle
9 inch zipper
sewing thread & needle, plus some pins or clips
optional: fabric stiffener (for the eye whites) and large jump rings (for the strap)

I used these 15mm jump rings from Michaels (I bought both silver and gold for future bag making purposes). Apparently they also have 24mm split rings, which would be great for bags, too. :0
