I am a crochet instructor and I have to tell you I haven’t found any one ‘anthology’ of crochet stitches that I’ve ever really been happy with. (I actually like “Beautiful Knitting Patterns” by Gisela Klopper for knitting). You didn’t say what type of crochet you were looking to do, but for a good all-around crochet selection and decent stitches I can recommend the following three books:”Crocheting School – A Complete Course” – Sterling Publishing”Donna Kooler’s Encyclopedia of Crochet” – Leisure Arts “101 Stitches for Afghans” by Jean Leinhauser

To make a strong bag, I would choose single crochet or single and half-double stitches. You could go down a size or two from the hook size recommended for your yarn ( unless you crochet tightly already). You could double strand the yarn if you have enough. Another option for natural fiber yarns (wool) is to crochet it larger than finished size and then felt it. If you are making a handle or strap, chain the length and then work a few rows the length of the handle/strap rather than crocheting something like 6 or 10 stitches wide and 30 inches long (this stretches). You could also add a lining.I like the looks of this one the best. You will need to create an account. Ravelry has a huge pattern library. http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/classy-messenger-bagTo use your three colors, you could work stripes of the 3 colors alternating, work stripes of 2 colors and use the 3rd color for the straps (and accents like edging).I like the looks of this one the best.
