Malia Shoulder Bag Pattern

Difficulty: Easyish

Finished Size: 15.5″ width x 12″ height x 6″ depth

Hook: E – 3.5mm (I absolutely love my Clover Amour 3.5mm Hook)

Yarn: Lion Brand 24/7 Cotton in 2 colors. 24/7 Cotton is a worsted-weight, mercerized yarn. You will need 675 yards / 4 skeins of COLOR A (I used “Silver”) and 100 yards / 1 skein of COLOR B (I used “White”). If using one color, you’ll need 775 yards total.

You’ll also need:

Yarn needle
Scissors
Two 36″ lengths of 3/8″ twisted rope for handles (I found mine at Joann Fabrics)
Optional but recommended: Either a size 4 (1/2″ diameter) grommet kit (like this one) or a size 15/32″ (12mm) eyelet kit. I thoroughly explain what to look for, how they’re used, and what the difference is between grommets and eyelets in the tutorial video and in the blog post above. You don’t have to add these but they will make your bag much more durable and stretch-resistant.
