Techniques Used to Make This Crochet Bag
This beautiful crochet bag is made up of Willow Granny Squares. It’s a lacy variation of a regular granny square that boasts an elegant look. To assemble your bag, you need 8 square blocks in total (4 for each side), or more, if you want a bigger tote.
The pattern will suit intermediate crocheters who feel comfortable with working lacy squares, assembling parts, and lining up.
