+ AMANDA + bag crochet shopping bag crochet bag

The AMANDA Bag is a great, simple bag that you'll definitely find useful and versatile. Whether for shopping, a stroll around town, at the beach, or for your crafts, it offers plenty of space, is super sturdy, and the label completes the design. I made the strap a little wider so the handle doesn't cut in and it's easy and comfortable to carry.
The bag is crocheted from just two balls of yarn in a gradient, so the color shading is natural and you don't have to change colors. The knit stitch pattern is particularly sturdy and looks more complex than it actually is, making it suitable for beginners. Since the bag has no buckles or handles, you can easily wash it and reuse it again and again.
You can order the materials individually or as a DIY set with the basket label in my shops and get started right away. Of course, you can also adjust the size according to your wishes and needs (you may need more material if you want the bag to be larger). Would you like to work with a different yarn? No problem, you can adapt the instructions to your yarn and create your own custom AMANDA BAG. So come on, let's get started... ️
