| Garden Bag / Crochet Tote The size is easy to adjust |
| Hi, I designed and made this bag in a 3 hour session. I used one ball of Sugar and Cream Crafters cotton. The second crochet tote I will use the Lion Brand cotton thick and quick. I filled the small basket with yarn for the photo, but this is the small basket I designed for picking cucumbers from my garden plot.. I made a long one for my sons sport balls, and one without a handle for his stuffed animals |
