Shay Cosmetic Bag Or Hook Pouch
"How to crochet a cute, easy single crochet bag perfect for running errands or a night out on the town, or if you're like me, holding your crochet supplies! Great project for beginners or advanced alike. Video tutorial included. I do recommend cotton yarn because it’s more durable, and this bag will most likely see a lot of use, and being pulled and pushed around in a larger bag/purse. If you want to line your bag, you'll also need these supplies - I like to save myself the time and use a pre-made zipper bag. For reference, I had my bag finished in a little over an hour and fifteen minutes. "
