Falling Leaves Beach Bag

This crochet beach or market bag is designed to carry whatever you need in the summer months. Worked in Leaf Stitch with a base of double crochet, it is dense enough to keep things inside the bag, while still being airy and light enough to tuck in a purse! Perfect for carrying an extra sun hat, water bottle, or even a shawl for cooler desert nights or, as a grocery bag you can keep tucked away for when you need it. With a relatively simple pattern repeat that uses only double crochet, this project is a great step up project for a beginner who wants to make something other than scarves and dishcloths plus, the simple pattern repeat means it's a great portable project, too! - - - For questions and support, please visit [this thread][1] in my Ravelry Group, e-mail me at [sarahdawnsdesigns@gmail.com][2], or send me a PM here on Ravelry.
