The only problem i had with this was that you need a bag bottom for, well, the bottom of the bag. I just used a very small crochet hook with the regular belstraw art (i used smaller hook so stitches would be tighter and sturdier) and just crocheted until i got the size i wanted and then sewed cloth to the inside. You can do what ever you want or you can to to the Free Vintage Crochet website where they have a bunch a crochet bag patterns or theAntique Crochet Patterns website (where i got this pattern) for more. Oh yea, and if you're a knitter, be sure to check out Free Vintage Knitting website.
Have fun crocheting!!!
