Eco Warrior Crochet Shopping Bag Pattern FREE

The first incarnation of this pattern was made with a repurposed bed-sheet in “Making Stuff: An Alternative Craft Book” (a very cool book if you’re into crafts). But lets face it, when you sleep on 500 count Egyptian cotton you may not have the time or the inclination to deconstruct your bedding. This version is worked in a bulky weight ribbon yarn to crochet fast & easy. Use the bags for your own shopping or give them as hostess or housewarming gifts; everyone raves about them, they get used all the time, they help create a little less garbage and they’re stronger and easier to carry than plastic shopping bags.
