English and Norwegian crochet pattern (digital PDF). This is the perfect everyday bag, both practical and beautifully designed. It works just as well as a school or work bag as it does for trips to the beach or into the city, and it comfortably fits a 15-inch laptop. You start by crocheting the base, and then continue in the round using the Alpine Stitch, which creates a distinctive and textured look. The pattern is detailed and includes step-by-step photos of the techniques, making it easy to follow even for beginners. The bag is crocheted with a 6 mm hook, giving it a sturdy shape that stands up nicely on its own.
