🧜‍♀️ In this video, I’ll guide you through every step of creating the Mermaid Mesh Bag — a beach-ready tote inspired by ocean textures and summer adventures.

This bag is worked entirely in the round with no joining between rounds, giving it a seamless and polished finish.

This project is beginner-friendly but satisfying for experienced crocheters too — perfect for sunny markets, summer walks, or simply as a beautiful handmade accessory.

☀️ Level: Easy, Beginner-friendly

☀️ Supplies Needed: (affiliate links):
I used:
– 4 mm Elastic Polyester cotton cord - (https://amzn.to/4jAW8SB)
(2 skeins for this size)
140 Yards per skein

– Crochet Hook 6 mm (J) - (https://amzn.to/4d1hJB7)
– Scissors - (https://amzn.to/3I5Kyhr)

👜 Note: I used elastic polyester cord, which stretches when the bag is full. That’s why I keep it at 19 mesh rounds. If you're using a different yarn, feel free to adjust the number of rounds.

☀️ Finished measurements (unstretched):
Width – 16" (42 cm)
Height – 13" (33 cm)
Strap height – 11" (28 cm)
Please note: These measurements are taken before the bag is filled. Polyester cord stretches with use, especially when carrying weight.
