Crochet Patten: X-ed Out Wrist Bag
By Candace – 6 Comments| Hold your change or just the bare necessities in this wrist bag when you’re out around town. It’s big enough to hold money, a phone, and maybe some makeup.
The bag has a simple crossed pattern in the center of both sides. The strap on this bag is wider than usual and has the same crossed pattern as the bag. |

I don’t do zippers well but I am going to try this pattern anyway. I love it.
Attaching a zipper to a crocheted piece is really easy, much easier than in sewing.
I don’t understand the first row on the bag, dc in blo across, then dc in flo across, then sl st in the ch3. Where do the ch 3 from ??
It’s the beginning ch to set up the dc row.
Now I get it,Thank you Candace
I don’t fully get the pattern. Where are the xdc supposed to be and how many are there exactly on each side of round 2? I’m confused.
