Chunky Granny Bag Crochet Pattern

 By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

I have gotten many requests for a more 

sturdier Shopping bag, lately.

I came up with a really easy and sturdy bag, 

that can hold up to heavier items.

The Bag can be made from a Bulky (5 or 6) yarn

 or made holding 2 strands of Med (4) together. 

It can be made from Cotton, Cotton bland or Acrylic yarns.

 It's really your preference and what you have in your

 yarn stash.

One is made using Chunky Caron Cakes and 

One us made using Yarn Bee Cotton XXL

making sure it is centered, ch 30, 

attach handle on the other side of the bag, with a slst,

slst in the next st, turn, ch1 and  sc back across the ch,

Join to the sc next to the beginning slst, tie off.

Weave in all your ends securely.

Button Loop - Cut a 10 inch piece of yarn, center and slide through the top
 of the bag to form a loop, make sure to tie to the inside of the bag, trim off extra yarn.
