Whenever we decide to go to the beach it feels that packing and carrying for a day trip with young kids is equivalent to packing for two-week trip without kids. This year our kids are strong enough to carry their own stuff so it was perfect time to make few beach bags for them.

If you know someone who is keen to carry his/hers stuff themselves try this easy pattern (suitable for advanced beginners) and start planing your trip to a beach.

Size: mouth of the bag circumference - 27.2” (69 cm); depth (without tail) - 15.3” (39 cm).

Gauge: 11 sts and 15 rows = 10cm in sc.

Materials/Tools:

Raffia, aran (8 wpi), 347-372 yards (319-342 m)
Crochet hook 5.5mm (I)
Button, 1 pcs
Rope/ribbon, 2 pcs x 70 inches (180 cm)
Tapestry needle

Thank You!

P.S. You can always use cotton or linen yarns instead of raffia.
