Falling Leaves Beach Bag

This crochet beach or market bag is designed to carry whatever you need in the summer months.  Worked in Leaf Stitch with a base of double crochet, it is dense enough to keep things inside the bag, while still being airy and light enough to tuck in a purse!

Perfect for carrying an extra sun hat, water bottle, or even a

shawl for cooler desert nights - or, as a grocery bag you can keep tucked away for when you need it.  

With a relatively simple pattern repeat that uses only double crochet, this project is a great step up project for a beginner who wants to make something other than scarves and dishcloths - plus, the simple pattern repeat means it's a great portable project, too!
