Vintage 30s shell bag crochet pattern

This is a pattern from the 30s for a shell stitch bag. If you love those vintage crochet bags, maybe you can try your hand at one; hopefully this pattern is not too difficult, I haven't tried it out yet. It uses gimp thread but could be substituted with yarn or thread with similar qualities. If you don't feel like crocheting in rounds for the handle, I'm sure there are simpler methods of making one, using a premade or vintage frame or rescue an old bag handle you no longer use.

 

You can see the instructions in the blow up mode.
