Simple Shopping Bag

Discontinued. This digital pattern is no longer available online.

From an Australian newspaper in 1933. Believed to be out of copyright. String bag is self-storing with a built-in net at the base of the bag.

Try #10 crochet cotton thread (requires approx 36 grams / 200 meters / 220 yards) with a 1.65mm hook (steel size 7). Several bags can be made from a small ball of crochet thread.
