Cross Body Hobo Bag

Make a chain of 40 and single crochet in the top loop of each chain, at the end chain 1 and turn your work and single crochet in the top loop again this will create the ribbed crochet look, when you reach the end chain 1 and turn your work do single crochet in the top loop, repeat this for 7 10 8 rows depending on however you want the look to be.

                               

Then for the broom stick stitch or peacock stitch, you can use the same color yarn or a contrasting color, pull up a loop from each single crochet and insert them into a knitting needle, there should be a total of 40 loops, now to close the loop take a group of 5 loops, pinch them with your thumb, considering it as a single loop, make 5 single crochets around it, so that you will end up with 8 peacock stitches.
For the next row continue doing the single crochet ribbed stitch. Continue to the desired length you want.

       Now fold it into half leaving a flap of about 4 inches at the top to close the bag, and sew the ends. Make a strap of your desired width and length, I made chain of 5 and did single ribbed crochet.

 Attach the straps to the ends by sewing, and attach buttons, I have used the middle hole in the peacock stitch as a button insert.
