V-Stitch Grocery/Produce Bag Crochet Pattern

V Stitch Grocery Shopping Bag
 Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

This Crochet Pattern has been retested and Updated with Lots of pics, and a Brand New Video At This LINK

I wanted a big bag for shopping

 that was pretty and sturdy.

So I designed one..

It even holds a 7 pound Maximo!

I had a lot of people asking for this pattern bag to be

 written for a chunky yarn.

 When I saw the Red Heart Strata Yarn, I immediately thought 

it was perfect for this bag pattern.

You can Stitch up This Shopping Bag in 

Med(4) or Chunky (5) Yarn.
