Carry your delicious dishes in this sturdy bag with lacy scalloped trim and show off your cooking and crochet talents! A doubled base keeps your contributions safe and secure. Slits on the sides let the handles escape.

The pattern also comes with a fabulous recipe for scalloped potatoes to take to your next potluck.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
Diameter at base 8”/20.5cm
Diameter at widest point 9.5”/24cm
Height 8”/20.5cm

GAUGE NOTES
Gauge is not critical for this project, but it should be fairly firm.

Adjust size for your own casserole dish. Crochet the bottom circle to fit and follow the pattern from there. You may need to adjust the length of the lace edging trim. The lace edging has a 5 stitch repeat, plus 4. Crochet a starting chain and add a few stitches. You can always remove them if you don’t need them.
