Crochet Pattern Shopping Net Backpack / (Drawstring) Bag HUCKEPACK



(To purchase/download, please click the image)

Goodbye plastic bags – this is how shopping is done these days :-) - All desired sizes possible. This makes shopping wonderfully easy. Practical for travel. And it even fits all your swim things for the beach.

Worked out for you to choose from:
Model 1: a wide binder fits in here;
Model 2 is a little smaller – incl. crochet flower.

Both models can be made with

• crocheted bag handles
• as well as as a (drawstring) bag/shoulder bag – as a shopper
• or even carried on your back – “piggyback” – as a little backpack.

The PDF crochet pattern (33 pages in total)

• is richly illustrated
• incl. shorter version for printing
• brief crochet flower instructions
• instructions for a 2-stitch crocheted cord (i-Cord) and
• Crochet basics – illustrated basic techniques for beginners

Materials:
Basically, any yarn you like can be used with the appropriate hook size. Used here: approx. 300 g (color distribution as desired) + leftover yarn of a mercerized cotton yarn (holds its shape better), Catania (Schachenmayr)/Limone (Schoeller+Stahl), 50 g – 125 m yardage, crochet hook 3.0; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for weaving in ends, 5 stitch markers recommended, safety pin for the crochet flower if needed, cord stopper
