Favorite Gift Bag

"‘Tis the season for gift giving! And all too often, that means waste - paper, gift bags, all the stuff we use to bring color to the festivities! Well, going green doesn’t have to mean boring - or not being able to present presents in a beautiful way. Introducing a crochet bag that becomes part of the gift - one that can be used for years and years to come - the free Favorite Gift Bag crochet pattern! I made the Favorite Gift Bag in just 2 colors, for a classic, unisex look that’s ready to give anyone from the office Secret Santa to your new nephew. The one part most likely to wear out - the handles - are just slipped over the buttons, making them easy to replace as needed, so you can keep passing this crochet gift bag around the family for a long long time. It’s a great stashbuster too - how colorful will your gift bag be? You can mix it up and make gift bags for birthdays, other holidays - whatever you like! I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern!"
