Mandala Cross-Body Market Bag

This is a market bag that can be worn cross-body and that can be opened/closed while wearing. I also imagine it as a project bag or yarn-buying bag. The pattern is in a mandala form with the variety of stitches changing every row or so--a sampler of sorts. A few notes have been added for clarification within the pattern. If anything does not make sense or is confusing, feel free to reach out to me for further clarification. Happy crocheting! **Yarn:** 280 yards of worsted weight for body of bag, 45 yards of worsted weight for strap **Hook:** G/4.25 mm **Gauge:** does not matter
