You can find a knitted shopping bag with an onion pattern on my page.

Here is the pattern.



The pattern is very versatile—you can knit the bag using thick or thin cotton, in a single color or multiple colors, and it’s also easy to adjust the size. Everything is explained in the pattern.
It includes both a knitting chart and round-by-round instructions.

With a bag in cheerful, bright colors, going shopping is twice as fun.

You can find the pattern here.



The bag is knitted in the round using a slip-stitch pattern in two colors. Basically, it’s something like stripes, nothing to be afraid of. In thick cotton, the bag also knits up very quickly.

With the help of this pattern, you can crochet a beautiful bag for summer yourself. The bag has a sturdy leather base and can be customized in width/height.

• The pattern includes detailed photos and is suitable for beginners with basic crochet skills. .
• Materials list: 1x leather bag base in your desired size. 
• 18 mm bag magnetic clasp, silver-colored.
• Crochet hook No. 6 or No. 7.

I used 100% cotton/Cotton Cord Print by Katia (50g/100m). I used 6 balls (300g). You are welcome to use any yarn you like.
