Posh Pooch Designs : The Granny Shoulder Bag Crochet Pattern

The Granny Shoulder Bag

Crochet Pattern

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Granny Shoulder Bag is a new crochet pattern

release that I have been working on for sometime.

I wanted the bag to be fun, and useful.

as well as, a bag design that would use up left

over yarns from my Yarn Stash. It is designed using an

assortment of Medium (4) Acrylic yarns from

all my left over projects. Different colors, shades

and brands. It turned out exactly how I wanted it.

It is a big roomy bag and holds a lot of things,

and it is super pretty.

It is also a really easy Crochet pattern to stitch up.

It consists of 3 Granny Squares, stitched together

to form a bag or purse. And the rest of the fun

is in the cute details.

You will notice there are 2 crochet hooks listed

in the materials list.

Crochet Hooks – I / 5.500 MM - For Bag

K/ 6.50 MM - For Bag Strap

We will be holding 3 strands of yarn together to

form the bag strap so we need a larger crochet hook.
