I came up with a shawl that is made out of double crochet stitches and variations of this stitch, like back post, front post, worked in back loops only. For the beautiful details you only have to repeat 5 rows. That's all!
This Multipurpose Crochet Bag can be used for so many different things. I use it for yarn, but feel free to use it for wine bottles. :-) I used 4 different colors of Caron One Pound yarn.

I used the suzette stitch and the waistcoat stitch besides the standard stitches. I included many videos to almost every part of the bag construction.
