2. The Roseate Crochet Cross-body Bag
Tape yarn is wide and flat. It’s also soft and sturdy. That’s what makes this polyester and viscose yarn an excellent choice for crochet bag patterns. If you want to crochet a bag pattern, this is the one to make!
I also love the stitch definition that you can get with tape yarn. It makes even basic crochet stitches stand out – like the ones used for this chic cross-body bag!
