Lilac Roped Bag Crochet Pattern

Lilac Roped Bag Crochet Pattern

This bag is made to be used wherever you go. You can tote it to the beach. You can bring it with you while grabbing lunch. Take it to the grocery store to carry your groceries in style., Or even store your other yarn in it.

This lilac roped bag is versatile enough to fit your busy lifestyle, and makes sure you look great on the go. You’re guaranteed to feel extra good wearing it, because it’s something you actually made with your own two hands – and crochet hook.

If you’re intimidated by the crocheting of the rope, don’t worry. This pattern has a very clear, easy to understand video that comes with it for a helpful visual that you can find at the bottom of the post. We found that the biggest thing we actually had to worry about was how many of these we should make. One to match each and every outfit? Why not.
