Eco-friendly bags are always in demand. Wherever you can avoid plastic, you should. That’s why shopping nets are always very popular. They’re easy to crochet, are a great way to use up leftover yarn, and always make a nice little gift for family or friends.
This shopping net is crocheted sideways and, once turned, gets its special vertical stripe pattern.
The net measures approximately 38 x 30 cm and can easily hold a small shopping trip. But you can crochet it in any size you like by simply starting with more stitches and crocheting more rows.
