Crochet: Cozy - Other
A reusable crocheted bag - perfect for wine shopping, or to deliver a gift. It only requires one skein of Tahki Cotton Classic or is great for de-stashing. This cotton is strong and shiny so whether you’re carrying home a purchase, or bringing a house gift to a dinner or party, it always looks better all dressed up.
