Herringbone Drawstring Bag

"The Herringbone Crochet Drawstring Bag is a delightful and practical project that’s both enjoyable and satisfying to make. You’ll create this bag from a simple rectangle using the lovely herringbone crochet stitch, which gives it a unique texture and an elegant look. The construction involves making a casing for the drawstring, sewing the edges together with a mattress stitch, and adding crochet I-cords for the drawstring and strap. These steps are a great way to practice and refine your crochet skills. The bag is perfect for everyday use, whether as a stylish purse or a handy project bag for your crochet and knitting supplies. Its charm and functionality make it a wonderful addition to any wardrobe or crafting collection. The pattern uses US crochet terminology."
