"This project was designed with beginners in mind, but it's also just a nice and easy project that you can whip up in a day with some of your yarn scraps. It's really simple but it makes for a really handy little bag. Works well for shopping, the beach or for kids things on the go. I used an ALize Bahar in #3 DK weight and a 4.5mm hook, but you can use whatever yarn you prefer. This was also made with a 4mm crochet cord for the strap but there are other options as well. "

Granny's Shopping Bag
This free crochet shopping bag pattern is ideal for those looking to replace their non-eco friendly plastic shopping bag with a handmade, crochet market bag. This Granny Stitch crochet project uses self striping yarn, so the colours really show themselves off to full effect. This pattern is beginner friendly featuring only the basic crochet stitches and the ever popular Granny Stitch - my favourite! I made my Granny's Shopping Bag using Caron Cotton Cakes in shade Garden Oasis and I love the colours. They really remind me of hazy summer days spent shopping for Knick Knacks - and I can fit plenty inside this market bag!
How To Crochet A Romanian Cord
