Cotton Shopping Bag Crochet Pattern

Cotton Shopping Bag Crochet Pattern
By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs 

The Farmer's market is Open in our town,

And I wanted a new Shopping bag.

 I wanted it to be cotton and washable....

 so.... wa la!

This bag is so easy to stitch up and a great way
 to use up all those left over cotton yarns.

I decided to retest and update this pattern.

And added a Brand new Video.

 I used Caron Cotton Cakes and I Love how it turned out.

It is adjustable to any length you like.
