Loop Handle Bag Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of| Posh Pooch Designs

The Loop Handle Bag is a fun bag to make, and
for taking to the market.
It fits more than it looks like, but is is also a great size 
when just picking up a few things.
You are really going to enjoy making and using this bag.

It is designed using Caron Cotton Blend Yarn By Lion Brand.
This yarn is perfect for this bag as it is 50% cotton
 and 50% Acrylic.
The Label put it at a light (3), I but feel like it is
 closer to Med (4).
But any cotton will work.
