Crochet Checkered Bag
"This crochet bag pattern is worked in rows with no decreases and is suitable for confident beginners. The checkered pattern is crocheted in two contrasting colours. You will need to know how to change colours as we will be changing colours every 4th stitch throughout each row. The pattern is worked in two panels that mirror each other. One side of the bag has the shorter handle, the other side longer. The longer handle pulls through the short to make the Japanese Knot. Use your yarn stash to make this bag! "
