An Easy Level Crochet Pattern

This pattern is for anyone who is an advanced beginner.

It uses basic techniques, including; how to chain and single crochet.

I made the bag using Patons 100% cotton 4-ply yarn in the color ‘limestone’ (1716) I bought 2 balls = 200g which was enough to make 2 bags and have a teeny ball left over.

I separated the yarn into 4 balls and worked with 4 strands of the yarn together so that I could use my size 10mm (US 15) crochet hook, which made the bag really fast to make.
