Making accessories on your own (and everything else, like clothes, blankets, mittens, etc.). makes them a lot more personal and customized. After all, you know best, what looks best on you and what colors and pattern you enjoy the most. Colorful, crochet bags may remind us of summer and going to the beach, but they really go in handy all year long.
They make great bags for just a quick grocery shopping, or an out fo town few days trip. Modules from which bags are made can vary, so you can find ones that use squares, and others which use hexagons or even circles. They will not only hold your necessities in one, safe space, but will also make you look very feminine and fashionable. Also, if you’re looking for a gift for your family or friends, this might be the project to go! Every adult and kid will be very happy to receive such a thoughtful gift. Take a look at examples below and search for links to free patterns under the pictures.
