Striped Bag with No-Sew Liner

"Crochet bags are some of my favorite projects because I can put them to use right away, no matter what the weather. But, I must confess that I don’t love sewing in liners. Without a liner, I’m limited in what I can carry inside of a crocheted bag. In this pattern and tutorial, I show you how to crochet this ripple bag and how to make an easy, removable, duct tape liner. Skills used Basic crochet stitches: chain, double crochet, single crochet, slip stitch Crocheting flat in rows Skipping stitches, changing colors, crocheting into chain spaces (with photo tutorial)"
