The Crooked Post Drawstring Bag is the perfect bag for spring and summer fun! The pretty texture is created with angled post stitches and the sturdy fabric doesn’t need a lining. There are instructions for reinforcing the bottom of the bag if you wish to do so. The bag features a working drawstring with silver tone hardware and a crocheted crossbody strap. The yarn used for this project is Omega Sinfonia, a size 3 mercerized cotton. The yarn is available online at creativeyarnsource.com and estambres.com. The finished bag will measure approximately 9” high by 10” wide with a base of 7.5” by 3.75”.
